The UK Critical National Infrastructure Information Security Network will bring together senior information security, OT security and cyber resilience leaders from the organisations responsible for delivering the UK’s essential services. This exclusive one-day event provides a private environment in which delegates can exchange best practice, address shared challenges and identify the strategies, technologies and partnerships needed to protect critical infrastructure.
Critical National Infrastructure underpins the services on which society, the economy and public safety depend. As energy, water, transport, telecommunications, data centres, civil nuclear, defence and emergency services become more connected, the boundary between information technology and operational technology is rapidly disappearing. This convergence creates greater efficiency but also exposes essential services to cyber threats capable of causing physical disruption, financial loss and widespread societal impact.
For security leaders, the challenge is to strengthen resilience without interrupting operations or slowing essential modernisation. Many organisations must protect complex estates that combine legacy operational systems, cloud platforms, connected devices and extensive third-party supply chains. At the same time, increasing regulatory scrutiny requires stronger governance, clearer accountability and demonstrable preparedness for serious incidents.
The UK Critical National Infrastructure Information Security Network brings together senior information security, OT security, cyber resilience and operational resilience leaders from across the UK’s critical infrastructure community. Through practitioner-led presentations, panel discussions, workshops and pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, delegates will examine how leading organisations are securing critical environments, improving visibility across IT and OT, managing systemic and supply-chain risk and building the capability to respond to advanced threats.
Conducted in a private and discreet environment under the Chatham House Rule, the Network enables candid discussion of shared vulnerabilities, lessons learned and practical solutions. It provides a focused forum for leaders responsible for protecting essential services to benchmark strategy, exchange best practice and identify the technologies and partnerships needed to keep the UK’s national infrastructure secure, resilient and trusted today and for tomorrow.
