Breaking Point: Building Resilience in a Fractured World
Join CyNam for our final headline event of the year, a part of the ‘Secure the Future Series’.
The UK is fast approaching a breaking point in national security and resilience. Geopolitical volatility, systemic risk, and rapid technological escalation are reshaping today’s security environment. Resilience is no longer a theoretical exercise; threats are real, present, and converging. From sub-sea cable vulnerabilities to the growing political acceptance of sub-strategic weapons, the world is becoming more unpredictable and fragmented.
For the first time in decades, official strategy acknowledges “radical uncertainty,” “dangerous conditions,” and the return of the warfighter to the security lexicon.
Why Gloucestershire?
As home to a leading concentration of cybersecurity, defence, and national security expertise, Gloucestershire plays a pivotal role in shaping and protecting UK capability. With Cheltenham’s cyber ecosystem at its heart, the region is uniquely positioned to convene experts and practitioners tackling these pressing challenges.
