What You'll Experience

See the Attack.
Understand the Defence.

Legacy defence is dead. You won't just hear about threats, you'll watch them. We peel back the layers of modern cybercrime: the attacker's dashboard, the SOC analyst racing to stop them, and the decisions that determine whether your business survives the next 24 hours.

Live hacking: Watch an attacker work, from foothold to full compromise.
The cybercrime ecosystem: How stolen data moves, and who profits.
Gap analysis in action: Use industry-recognised frameworks to measure and prioritise.
Inside a SOC: How detection and response stops a breach in minutes, not days.

The Threat Landscape

Attacks don't
announce themselves.

They begin quietly. An unusual login, a new device, or a conversation that feels genuine but isn't. By the time the alarm bells ring, the damage is already done.

See, Don't Just Hear

Built for leaders who need to witness live threats, not just read post-incident reports.

Practical Defence

Leave with a clear view of your resilience and concrete steps to stop escalation before lunch.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before you arrive.

Who is the event for?
Senior business and security leaders: CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CISOs, CTOs, Heads of IT, and Heads of Risk. It's a leadership-level briefing, not a technical deep-dive. Vendors and press are not admitted.
Is the event free to attend?
Yes. This is a complimentary breakfast briefing hosted by Santander and Precursor Security. Seats are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is this a sales pitch?
No. The session is purely educational: a live demonstration of how modern attacks work, followed by what effective defence looks like in practice. No product demos, no sales presentations.
Will refreshments be provided?
Yes. A full breakfast spread is provided from 09:15, with coffee and refreshments throughout. Networking continues over coffee until 11:00.
Is there parking available nearby?
Yes. City Quays has on-site parking, and there are several public car parks within a short walk. Lanyon Place rail station is approximately five minutes on foot.
What time should I arrive?
Doors open at 09:15 for breakfast and registration. The main session starts at 09:30 sharp, so we recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early to settle in.
