Community

Join CENSIS for a catch up over a virtual coffee and connect with companies, researchers and stakeholders with an interest in the same space. This event has been organised with help from Scottish Enterprise and ScotlandIS.

There is no fixed agenda for any of our virtual coffees, and we aim for a forum that is open, friendly and encourages conversation. The direction of the discussion always follows whatever people on the call want to talk about, and the conversations are never recorded.

Led by CENSIS Business Development Director, Cade Wells, this session explore cyber security exporting – including products, services and expertise. Cade will be joined by Xavier Bellekens, CEO of Lupovis and Malcolm Warr OBE, Chair of CNI Scotland.

A thriving cyber security sector is important not only for UK national security, but also for our economic prosperity. On this call we’ll be discussing how we can share our knowledge and ideas with other countries for our mutual benefit. Join us to discuss how working together globally can lead to great security and prosperity for everyone.

Potential topics for discussion might include:

• How can we best share cyber-knowledge to gain export advantage?
• What cyber opportunities can be promoted on the back of certain initiatives, e.g., the UK/Australia/USA ( AUKUS) initiative?
• What export opportunities and/or risks exist in particular regions or countries?
• What about dual use and the ECJU (Export Control Joint Unit), part of the Department for Business & Trade?
• Is selling cyber solutions as hard as selling insurance?
• What about the ‘Cybersecurity Made in Europe’ label, an industry-driven marketing tool designed to promote European cybersecurity companies?
• From selling into Scotland to selling internationally – what are the next steps?

Join our next ITMS Community event on 12th March in Aberdeen, which will be a ‘Lunch and Learn’ session, kindly hosted by IFB.

This event aims to bring together ITMSPs from the region to foster networking opportunities, and facilitate the sharing of challenges and best practices.

ScotlandIS Head of Cyber, Beverly Bowles, will kick off the afternoon with an update on the cluster and charter, and how Scotland’s IT Managed Service Provider community is taking shape.

We’ll then have a speaker from Police Scotland offering a policing/forensics perspective to what ITMS companies should be securing themselves against, including insights on response and recovery practices and breach case studies.
