We’re pleased to announce that global cyber security leader, Forescout, has become an official partner for the 2025 CNI Cyber Security Summit.
The summit was held for the first time in April of this year and brought together senior cyber leaders, regulators, and industry bodies operating within Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). The event featured numerous keynotes and provided a forum for discussing the latest trends, regulations, and threats affecting the UK’s cyber security landscape, and how CNI organisations can best increase their cyber resilience.
Forescout’s support of next year’s summit builds on the recently announced strategic partnership between Bridewell and Forescout. The 2025 Summit will take place on March 20th at Convene 133 Houndsditch in London, with Forescout’s Vice President of Security Intelligence, Rik Ferguson, joining our lineup of speakers to share insights into the challenges facing organisations in securing their OT environments and how the IT/ OT stack is transforming. Forescout will also be hosting a breakout session alongside Bridewell’s Managed Security team where they will look at the risk of unmanaged devices and how you can use security monitoring tools to increase visibility.
“Having Forescout join as an official partner for our 2025 CNI Cyber Security Summit underlines the success of the inaugural event.” said Anthony Young, CEO at Bridewell. “The feedback we received from attendees was incredibly positive, and we’re proud to have created an event where CNI cyber security leaders can come together and have meaningful conversations about their challenges. The 2025 Summit promises to be another great event, featuring a broad cross-section of the CNI cyber security community and we’re grateful to have Forescout on board.
“We’re delighted to be on board and supporting the CNI Cyber Security Summit,” added Andy Milne, RVP Sales Northern Europe at Forescout. “The event’s commitment to enhancing cyber security across CNI sectors aligns with our own strategy and goals. Like Bridewell, we share a strong commitment to securing CNI, and this summit provides an excellent opportunity to advance that mission together.”
The theme of the 2025 CNI Cyber Security Summit is ‘Collaborating Against Critical Threats: Securing the Future of UK CNI’ and will look at how CNI organisations can work together to protect themselves against ever-evolving risks, including mounting nation-state and supply chain attacks. There will also be chances for delegates to network with industry peers, including a post event networking and cocktail reception.
