UKsec Summit Explores Connected Defence and Preparing for Cyber Resilience Regulation

The ninth UKsec Cyber Security Summit brings senior security leaders together in London to examine evolving threats, resilience and the regulatory changes ahead. This year's agenda gives particular attention to preparing for the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill.

Senior IT security leaders will gather in London for the ninth UKsec Cyber Security Summit, which this year focuses on securing infrastructure, identity and intelligence as new UK cyber legislation approaches.

The summit returns on 10 November 2026, exploring the most important trends in UK cyber security, how organisations can remain secure amid evolving threats, and what a cyber-resilient culture looks like in 2026. Its central theme is "Connected Defence: Securing Infrastructure, Identity, and Intel", and a key strand of the agenda covers how organisations can prepare for regulatory change, most notably the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill.

The programme combines keynotes, case studies, panel debates and roundtables, with the agenda shaped by an expert steering committee. One session looks at how vendors, managed service providers and enterprise partners can build defensible security postures using the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework, as the Bill brings MSPs and critical suppliers into direct scope. Speakers include security leaders from organisations such as Apex Group, Royal Mail, Wales & West Utilities, Haleon, OCS Group UK and Condé Nast Britain.

Security leaders preparing for the next phase of UK cyber regulation can register their place through the summit website.
