Secure policing: Defending critical public services for the future
Cyber attacks are on the rise, and their effects can severely disrupt the critical work performed by police services across the United Kingdom. With previous high-profile breaches putting officers and those they serve at risk, addressing these threats continues to be a major priority for police forces and related organisations.

Faced with attacks that exploit the constantly changing human and technological vulnerabilities present in our environments, it’s essential that our police forces are able to quickly identify and address gaps in their security before public services suffer the potentially devastating fallout of a successful attack.
Global security expert Conscia UK is hosting a security workshop for police forces and related organisations, focused on providing practical insights and actionable steps to improving their cyber security. Held on 14th May at STEAMhouse in Birmingham, the event will feature expert presentations and demonstrations, as well as opportunities to network with peers and access actionable guidance from experts from Conscia and Cisco.
