Awareness:
Putting people at the heart of resilience
Tuesday 1 October 2024
9.30am – 4pm
Aldgate, London
In association with BT
Despite new adversary tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) emerging all the time, one aspect of cybersecurity remains constant: people.
Join us in London to explore leadership’s role in shaping and developing organisational culture, needed to provide the foundation for successful awareness campaigns, and whether accountability plays a part in reinforcing behaviours.
We’ll explore various strategies to enhance engagement in our campaigns, the importance of aligning our awareness initiatives with our organisation’s goals and objectives, how to measure our programmes, and the messaging and psychology techniques you can use in your campaigns to make them impactful and successful.
Not only will we have a demonstration of how generative AI and deepfakes are used to create sophisticated social engineering attacks, our speakers will also share different ways of using threat intelligence to both increase our understanding of the landscape and bring abstract concepts to life.
We hope you and your colleagues will join us in London for a day filled with presentations, panel sessions, demos, networking, and a delicious lunch.
All SASIG events operate under Chatham House Rule and there is no charge to attend. Lunch and refreshments for this event are kindly provided by our hosts.

Emerging technologies: Meeting the challenges of change
Tuesday 5 November 2024
9.30am – 4pm
Stratford, East London
Innovation promises endless possibilities, dangers, and uncertainty. The only certainty is change – economically, politically and socially.
Managing change is often one of the biggest challenges when it comes to new developments, so at this event, we will not only discuss new technologies, but we will also explore ways we can navigate technological transitions, address resistance to change, and use change to drive growth.
How does our approach to cybersecurity impact new opportunities? Can we safeguard against the associated risks when leveraging a new tool or system? Discover how AI, ML and other new capabilities can help us detect and mitigate against threats, monitor and understand our attack surface, protect cloud environments, and reshape our defence mechanisms. We’ll explore the latest advancements in modifying and analysing human behaviour through personalised training, real-time and predictive behaviour tools, and varied risk profiles.
We’re bringing together expert speakers to discuss the impact of emerging tech and how we manage the inevitable change it brings. We hope you and your colleagues will join us in Stratford for a day filled with presentations, panel sessions, networking and a delicious lunch.
All SASIG events operate under Chatham House Rule and there is no charge to attend. Lunch and refreshments for this event are kindly provided by our hosts.
