Emma O'ConnorCalling all tech leaders! Hear from our CEO Jon at DTX Manchester

We’re thrilled to be joining hundreds of tech leaders from all sectors at DTX Manchester next week – the lead event of Manchester Tech Week.

The week-long event is set to be the biggest-ever gathering of IT and digital professionals in the North of England. It boasts an exciting lineup of speakers alongside a packed exhibition hall where visitors can discover the latest solutions, connect with peers and learn from industry experts.

Our CEO, Jon Abbott, will be leading an interactive session alongside Bradley Horn from The Hut Group on Wednesday 22 May. During this session, Jon will share his insights on identifying critical gaps in security defences within organisations. He'll also delve into the challenges of ensuring visibility across entire IT estates and discussing hidden risks and blind spots.

During our Fireside chat, we'll be diving deep into the evolution of the security perimeter over the past decade, from distributed environments to the challenges of defending endpoint computers in today's IT landscape. We'll explore why endpoint visibility and cyber hygiene remain persistent issues in cybersecurity, despite advancements in technologies like EDR and threat hunting.

We'll also discuss the importance of ensuring security controls are correctly deployed to reduce the overall cost of cyber protection and provide advice to cybersecurity leaders on building resilient cybersecurity postures. Additionally, we'll address the challenge of automation amidst budget constraints and offer practical advice on breaking the cycle of being reactive to incidents rather than proactive in defence.

Finally, we'll examine the future threat landscape, including the rise of AI-powered attacks, and discuss measures organisations can take to counter these threats effectively. Our goal is to equip attendees with actionable insights and strategies to navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape confidently.
