Collaborating Against Critical Threats: Securing the Future of UK CNI
Date: Thursday 20th March 2025
Venue: Convene, 133 Houndsditch
The CNI Cyber Security Summit is Back for 2025
As the UK’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) faces a rising tide of sophisticated cyber threats, from geopolitical tensions to ransomware attacks driven by criminal organisations, resilience has never been more critical.
While new technologies continue to evolve, it is the collective strength of people, partnerships, and preparedness that forms the backbone of CNI security.
Collaborating Against Critical Threats: Securing the Future of UK CNI
The theme of the 2025 CNI Cyber Security Summit will focus on real-world threats facing CNI organisations and look at ways in which they can collaborate to protect themselves against ever-evolving risks.
From the increasing complexity of nation-state attacks from countries like China, North Korea, and Russia to the vulnerabilities within global supply chains, the summit will explore the most pressing challenges facing the sector today.
"Bridewell’s CNI Summit is my only must attend event each year. The carefully curated list of speakers, workshops and attendees in the inaugural summit were second to none. You’ll find bigger events, and you may find events which cover more topics, but you’ll seriously struggle to find anything which is more worthy of a day of your time.”
Jon Pocock – Global Head of Information Security, Alfa Financial Software Ltd

Take a look at last year...
With keynotes from Microsoft, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and Ofgem, the summit presented a unique opportunity to gain insight into the latest technology being deployed in the fight against cybercrime.
The summit covered the impact that regulations including NIS and the CAF are having in helping prevent cyber-attacks, as well as upcoming changes to regulations and data privacy legislation.
