You’ll leave with clarity on why cybercrime isn’t an abstract “IT issue”, but a here-and-now financial and operational risk — and why proactive action matters.?: 10:15 AM - 10:45 AMCan you negotiate your way out of a ransomware attack?Info: Ransomware is one of the most commercially damaging attack types in the UK today — but what actually happens when the note drops? In this session we’ll step through how a ransomware incident unfolds, the negotiation myths vs realities, and the decisions an organisation would be forced to make under pressure. You’ll understand not just the technical mechanics — but the business implications, legal considerations and hard-earned lessons from real cases.?: 10:45 AM - 11:00 AMRefreshment break and networkingInfo: Take a break with coffee and take the opportunity to talk to our conference speakers and wider network.?: 11:00 AM - 11:30 AMProtect your organisationInfo: A highly practical, jargon-free session focused on what you can actually do today to strengthen your cyber resilience. We’ll walk through simple but high-impact measures — from access control to password policy to safe data handling — that most SMEs can implement quickly and cheaply. You’ll leave with a short priority list and clear next steps.?: 11:30 AM - 11:50 AMRegional Economic Crime UnitInfo: Hear directly from specialists in our Economic Crime Unit about the fraud trends they’re seeing right now — what’s rising, what’s changing, and how criminals are adapting. This session will break down real techniques currently used in the wild (business email compromise, invoice redirection, deepfake voice calls, supply-chain spoofing etc.) and set out evidence-based steps to reduce risk inside your organisation.?: 11:50 AM - 12:30 PMAn interactive cyber escape room gameInfo: Escape within 30 minutes — if you can. This interactive game is built using the same social engineering, misdirection and open source techniques real cybercriminals apply. While you play, you’ll also learn: strong password hygiene, spotting red flags, decision-making under time pressure, and how “small slips” lead to major compromise. It’s fast, fun, and sticky learning — without a single slide deck.?: 12:30 PM - 01:00 PMQ &amp; A Session
