Info: Growing scrutiny of who controls sensitive UK data has made cloud sovereignty a boardroom issue. Brightsolid's Andy Sinclair and Ethan Owens explain why UK data centres aren't enough, and what real control means: where your data sits, who runs the platform and which laws apply. They will discuss how sovereign, AI-ready cloud supports UK organisations.

Info: A practical session from Torridon Cyber looking at the cyber risks that tend to emerge as businesses grow, including ransomware, third-party risk, AI, people and access controls, and what leadership teams should actually be doing about them.
The focus would be less on technical cybersecurity and more on helping founders and business leaders understand where they are exposed, what matters most, and how to build sensible security without creating unnecessary complexity.
