Rapid experimentation, exploiting cloud, open source, containerisation and other concepts, bring challenges when the outputs are headed for highly secure environments. Join Tim Watts, Co-founder and Exec Director at SiXworks as he discusses the SiXworks approach to secure-by-design proofs of concept and related analysis for government.

Innovation and security: Doing both

'Developing low' through off-site and distributed working and 'running high' increased exponentially during the pandemic presenting significant opportunities and benefits that are likely to permanently change the way we work in the future. But this dramatic change is not without its risks. Join Matt Colman, Security Architect, IBM and Adrian Keward, Technical Architect, RedHat as they explore approaches to enhancing the integrity and confidentiality of containers created low-side and how this manifests itself in confidence high-side.

“If you think you understand quantum physics, you don’t understand quantum physics”. Join Neil Fagan, CTO National Security at CISCO, as he kicks off with an ‘easy to understand’ introduction to quantum computing, how it is evolving at pace and the critical challenges that are being addressed. Neil will also explore some of the considerations of maintaining a security posture within this revolutionary technical architecture.

Securing the post-quantum world

Join Bart Challis, UKCloudX Product Manager, for an insight into designing and building the UK’s first and only true cloud at Above OFFICIAL; looking at the founding principles behind the most ambitious project to-date at UKCloudX, how we addressed the challenges to remain loyal to the true-cloud model whilst offering uncompromising security and assurance. The session will close with what Cloud at Secret means for the UK’s Defence & National Security strategy, now and in the future.

Secret Cloud - Delivering the highest levels of integrity for critical systems

The shared responsibility model means that the adoption of a Secure Cloud service is a necessary first step, however this in itself is insufficient to effectively consume cloud services.  Consumers still need to consider Cloud Security for workloads running in these such environments.  Join VMware for a discussion on what steps both providers and consumers of cloud service should consider to achieve acceptable risk management levels for their respective organisations.

Secure cloud vs. Cloud security

Join Dean Wicks MCIIS, Principle Information Assurance & Cyber Security Consultant at Amethyst Risk, as he explores the critical considerations and recommendations for storing and processing medical, personal and physiological data in the cloud.

Considerations for personal data in the cloud

In this session, Neil Fagan, CTO National Security at CISCO, focuses on securing the journey to the cloud and within the cloud. Starting with some of the key themes and trends in networking and cyber security, Neil will then follow up with explaining and discussing software defined networking (SDN) and its applicability within the cloud journey.  Finally, the session will conclude with key points on building a consistent operational model, moving to a predictive environment, and moving from a threat centric to zero trust environment and then into continuous authentication and a broader "SASE" (secure access service edge) architecture.

Secure cloud connectivity

John Godwin, UKCloud's Director of Compliance and Information Assurance, will assess how information security, data protection and cloud resilience considerations need to be assessed during cloud transformation journeys, as well as the ongoing management of virtual environments. Supported by references to relevant standards and supporting frameworks, John will explore how the early detection of risks and the deployment of appropriate security controls can significantly contribute to the optimum protection for cloud-based workloads.

Securing the Cloud: Balancing risks and benefits

UK policing is becoming increasingly dependent on the collection of digital evidence from crime scenes. With evidence ranging from imagery to DNA stain reports, the data collected needs to be fully auditable for court presentation.  Join Charles James and Desmond High at Fish Forensics as they detail how their fully compliant digital evidence capabilities are used to gather evidence from crime scenes, transmit and then broker ‘analysis’ services.

Managing crime scene evidence

Cloud computing has offered huge benefit to anyone who consumes it, however often constraints such as security and risk can stop you getting access to the full potential of cloud. Join Ben Scowen and Rob Kernahan who will discuss the key success factors when working with critical systems in the cloud to enable any organisation to go fast and become high-frequency.

How to go fast with critical systems in the cloud

Experienced MSPs provide vital experience and expertise in the delivery of risk mitigated, cost-effective solutions. Join Ben Grantham, Director at Assured Digital Technologies as he explores how they drive digital transformation and provide complex, agile, and assured managed services to support the efficiency and effectiveness required by the defence sector.

The importance of the MSP in the cloud adoption journey

In this session, Leighton James, CTO of UKCloud will describe the value of sovereign cloud in providing a secure, connected and flexible platform which enables organisations to specialise on what they do best and deliver. Whereas Public Cloud enables innovation at lower security levels, Sovereign Cloud enables similar innovation at higher classification levels. Join this session to learn how you can differentiate in providing specialist, secure, innovative solutions to the Defence and National Security community.

The sovereign platform enabling secure innovation

National policy in NHS England is to direct patients who require Urgent & Emergency Care (UEC) to NHS 111 so that they are treated in the most appropriate care setting.  If the patient requires to be seen within a Provider facility (ED, UTC, SDEC etc), an appointment can be scheduled and advanced warning of a patient’s arrival sent to the receiving service.  The first phase of this policy was delivered in December 2020 with a number of tactical solutions deployed due to time pressures, together with the backdrop of the Covid pandemic.
 
There are significant advantages in providing UEC Scheduling services that are integrated into a Provider Trusts existing PAS/EPR systems to avoid administrative overheads and improve clinical safety.  Join UKCloud Health as we welcome Adnan Riaz, Program Head, NHS Bookings and Referrals at NHS Digital, Nick Sinclair, Director of Operations at Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust and Michael Brett, CEO at WASP Software to break down the situation faced by MTW, the role tech has played in dealing with these challenges and how best NHS Trusts can use integrated UEC pathways.
