Cyber Leader Summit Cymru

You can’t avoid the headlines in cyber security. Companies are feeling the impact, fatigue, and pressure to get it right every time. Join Check Point, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and other industry leaders to discuss how AI and other tools are helping defend our organisations and customers. We will share stories behind the headlines, and take an in-depth look at the rising risk levels in key UK industries—and you’ll hear how Nigel Owens has led a life of resilience (and you’ll have a chance to get a signed copy of his book!).

Most importantly, you’ll hear from your industry peers about how they are tackling security today.
