Excellent engagement at the CyBOK Showcase event in London

Published: 2 Mar 2023, 12:29 p.m.

The CyBOK Showcase event took place on the morning of 28 February 2023 at the Science Museum in London in partnership with the UK Cyber Security Council. The event was chaired by Dr Yulia Cherdantseva Director of the Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education at Cardiff University and a member of the CyBOK Executive Board.

Over 60 delegates attended and enjoyed a variety of presentations. Professor Awais Rashid, Head of Cyber Security Group at the University of Bristol and Steve Schneider, Professor of Secure Systems, Surrey Centre for Cyber Security, gave an update on the latest CyBOK news, and an overview of the wealth of CyBOK resources available. Following this, the CEO of the UK Cyber Security Council, Simon Hepburn, updated on the Council’s workstreams and standards.

Delegates were then given an update from the CyBOK Industry Champion Peter Loomes on his work on CyBOK and recruitment, as the CyBOK team looks to improve industry engagement and take-up of CyBOK. Finally, there was a chance to hear about the current CyBOK Funded Projects.

Next up, we look forward to exhibiting at the CyberUK 2023 Conference at the International Conference Centre in Belfast 19 to 20 April 2023.
