CEO’s welcome
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to CYBERUK 2022, and to the state-of-the-art International Convention Centre, here in the historic city of Newport, Wales. It has been three years since the NCSC last brought the cyber security community together, in person, at CYBERUK 2019 in Scotland. I’m anticipating an event with even more than the usual amount of buzz, as delegates, speakers and exhibitors reconnect. Once again you’ll find the kind of incisive, engaging and comprehensive programme you have come to expect from the NCSC’s flagship conference. We are making part of the event accessible online, through our YouTube channel. However, it is only here in Wales that you get the full CYBERUK experience.

We have 200 speakers contributing to over 35 hours of original talks, presentations and indepth panel discussions. Hot topics will include ransomware, nation state threats and the evolution of security technology. And, if you’re looking for hands-on and technical engagement, we have our new Masterclass sessions. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our lead sponsors, AWS and BT, for supporting CYBERUK 2022. They, along with a range of private and public sector organisations, are instrumental in making this year’s conference dynamic, diverse and digitally accessible. It has been a long and eventful year. There is much to discuss, many lessons to be learned and ideas to share. However, there is one fact upon which we can all agree - cyber security is vital to the future safety and prosperity of the UK and our global partners.
