Cyber Leader PubSec Summit Scotland: 9.00am - 12pm
You can’t ignore the headlines — Public Sector organisations are under mounting pressure to stay ahead of evolving threats. From stretched teams to rising risk levels, the challenge to ‘get it right every time’ is felt across government, healthcare, education, and beyond.

Join, Check Point, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and other industry leaders to discuss how AI and emerging technologies are helping defend critical services and citizens alike. We'll go beyond the headlines to share insights from across the Scottish public sector, including the practical steps your peers are taking to strengthen security in the ever-changing digital world.

Cyber Leader Summit Scotland: 12:30pm - 5:30pm

We will also be joined by a special guest speaker!
