ADS and Deloitte are bringing together the very best of defence, cyber security and industry expertise to address one of the sector's most pressing challenges.
The Defence Industrial Base is operating in an increasingly complex and evolving threat landscape, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions, economic instability, and the proliferation of sophisticated state-sponsored, criminal and hacktivist cyber operations.
For the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and its extended supply chain, this demands a coordinated and resilient approach to protecting critical capabilities, safeguarding complex supply networks and ensuring operational readiness.
This event will feature insights from Lieutenant General Sir Charlie Stickland KCB OBE RM, Former Chief of Joint Operations at the UK's Permanent Joint Headquarters and current Chair of REACT, and Lady Olga Maitland, Global Defence and Security Expert and Commentator, who will share their perspectives on the evolving security landscape and the challenges facing defence organisations today.
The MOD has adopted a new strategic approach to building a secure and resilient defence supply chain through the introduction of Cyber Security Model Version 4 (CSMv4). This framework represents a significant shift towards an evidence-based, organisation-wide approach to cyber security, supported by third-party certification through the IASME Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) Scheme.
Alongside our keynote speakers, delegates will hear from leading cyber security and defence specialists including:
- Angela Mitchell (Practice Senior Partner, Scotland & Northern Ireland, Deloitte)
- Richard Hird (Partner, International Defence & Integrated Defence Market Lead, Deloitte)
- Viccy Paterson (Partner, Cyber Defence & Resilience, Deloitte)
- Cy Paskell (Associate Director, Cyber Defence & Resilience, Deloitte)
- Kieran O'Sullivan (Supply Chain Security Manager, Integrated Defence Market, Deloitte)
- Alastair Leuchars (Deputy Director, Cyber and Digital, ADS Group)
Join us to gain unique insight into the changing cyber security requirements facing the defence sector and hear practical, industry-leading strategies for strengthening resilience across the defence supply chain.
