Dear Mr Ensign

 

I am writing to ensure you don’t miss the above seminar if
you are able to attend. Please note there is a charge for most delegates,
although concessionary and complimentary places are available (subject to terms
and conditions - see below).

 

This seminar will be a timely opportunity to discuss next
steps for cyber security in the UK - including key issues around preparedness,
international cooperation and how the response is organised.

 

The conference is timed as implementation begins of the EU
directive on the security of Networks and Information Systems (NIS
Directive) and follows the recent publication of the Cyber
Security Export Strategy.

 

It will be an opportunity for stakeholders, policymakers and
regulators to discuss latest developments and priorities for key sectors
involved in critical national infrastructure and their suppliers, and the wider
group of organisations and individuals affected by the threats to cybersecurity.

 

Further sessions will assess
the work of the National Cyber Security
Centre, as well as discussing key measures from the Secure by
Design review - which
outlines plans to build security into the design of internet connected devices. 

 

Overall, areas for discussion
include:

 
The threat to the UK
     - assessing its scale, priorities for raising awareness and how policy and
     business practice might best respond; 

 
Preparedness and resilience - examining key issues in the implementation of the
     NIS Directive; 

 
Addressing skills gaps - what
     should be the way forward for encouraging more people into careers in
     cyber security and developing the necessary curricula in the education
     system; 

 
International collaboration -
     latest on the impact of the UK leaving the EU and the rise in state
     sponsored cyber-crime, and how UK-international co-operation and
     intelligence-sharing on cyber security might be further developed; 

 
Standards and accreditation -
     examining the take-up and reputation of certification programmes, such as Cyber Essentials, and the potential for wider adoption - as well
     as discussion on standards development;
     and 

 
SMEs - assessing the challenges for smaller organisations
     and position of smaller UK players in the cyber security sector.

 

The draft agenda is copied below my signature, and a
regularly updated version is available to download here. The seminar is organised on the basis of strict
impartiality by the Westminster eForum. Follow us @WeFEvents
for live updates.

Networking

 

This seminar will present an opportunity to engage with key
policymakers and other interested parties, and is CPD certified (more
details). Places have been reserved by officials from the DCMS;
HMRC; Home Office; MoD and the National Crime Agency.
Also due to attend are representatives from ARM; Gemserv; Jisc;
NCSC and Thales Cyber and Consulting (TC&C).

 

Overall, we expect speakers and attendees to be a senior and
informed group numbering 100, including Members of both Houses of Parliament,
senior Government and regulatory officials involved in this area of public
policy, businesses and professionals involved in cybersecurity, infrastructure
owners and providers, as well as their suppliers and their advisors, academics
and commentators, a wide range of organisations and individuals affected by the
issues, and reporters from the national and trade media.

 

Output and About Us

 

A key output of the seminar will be a transcript of the
proceedings, sent out around 12 working days after the event to all attendees
and a wider group of Ministers and officials at DfT, DCMS, BEIS, Cabinet Office
and other government departments; officials at Ofcom and other agencies
affected by the issues; and Parliamentarians with a special interest in these
areas. It will also be made available more widely. This document will include
transcripts of all speeches and questions and answers sessions from the day,
along with access to PowerPoint presentations, speakers’ biographies, an
attendee list, an agenda, sponsor information, as well as any subsequent press
coverage of the day and any articles or comment pieces submitted by delegates.
It is made available subject to strict restrictions on public use, similar to
those for Select Committee Uncorrected Evidence, and is intended to provide
timely information for interested parties who are unable to attend on the day.

 

All delegates will receive
complimentary PDF copies and are invited to contribute to the content.

 

The Westminster eForum is
strictly impartial and cross-party, and draws on the considerable support it
receives from within Parliament and Government, and amongst the wider
stakeholder community. The Forum has no policy agenda of its own. Forum
events are frequently the platform for major policy statements from senior
Ministers, regulators and other officials, opposition spokespersons and senior
opinion-formers in industry and interest groups. Events regularly receive
prominent coverage in the national and trade media.
