The threat landscape has fundamentally shifted



UK Critical National Infrastructure is no longer a secondary target - it is now the front line. State linked actors are actively targeting the sectors that keep the UK running. At the same time, the convergence of IT and operational technology is expanding attack surfaces and accelerating risk. In this environment, reactive security is no longer enough.
 

Join us for a private, intelligence-led threat briefing at the historic Churchill War Rooms. Conducted under Chatham House Rules, this session is designed for senior UK CNI leaders who need clear, early insight into the threats impacting infrastructure today - and those emerging next. 

 

The afternoon includes a private guided tour of the Churchill War Rooms, 3-course lunch, and a guest talk from renowned historian and codebreaking expert Dr Joel Greenberg.
