The format provides early access to game-changing technologies, credible peer insights, and meaningful conversations under Chatham House rules. Senior leaders explore topics such as AI in security, regulatory change, human risk, and real-world enterprise strategy.For CISOs and CTOs:I offer early access to emerging technologies before mainstream adoption. Whether you want to benchmark, explore new ideas, or stay ahead of the curve, I connect you with credible insights and trusted peers — without sales pressure.For Founders and Growth Teams:I help you break into complex enterprise environments, secure strategic pilots, navigate long sales cycles, and close high-value deals with the right senior sponsors.With deep networks across the UK, Europe, the US, and China, I bring together the right leaders, ideas, and opportunities — enabling innovation to scale faster and more effectively.

The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) reports that the UK faces a severe cyber attack problem since they now track four major incidents weekly, which represents a 129% increase from last year.

The increase in cyber attacks stems from nation-state actors and criminal groups who use advanced persistent threat tactics, which makes cybersecurity a critical survival factor for businesses.

The NCSC demands that organisations enhance their security systems by implementing basic protection measures because they must take immediate action to defend against the growing cyber threats.

UK cyber attacks surge 129%: 4 major incidents weekly

Anthropic conducted a study which demonstrated that the biggest AI systems become vulnerable to data poisoning attacks through only 200-300 contaminated documents.

The research shows that both small and large models remain vulnerable to data poisoning attacks when exposed to minimal amounts of malicious data.

The researchers stress that organisations must implement enhanced security measures and proper data handling practices because they should protect their data streams with the same level of attention as supply chain management systems.

The countdown to Black Hat Europe 2025 is officially on — and it’s great to have it right here in London, 8–11 December.

I’ll be there all week, and I’d love to catch up with the many CISOs, cyber leaders, founders, and sponsors who joined our Cyber & Beats roundtables throughout 2025.
If you’re attending, let’s grab a coffee, reconnect, and swap notes on what’s coming next in AI, security, and the changing risk landscape.

You can easily book a time with me here:

According to reports, the UK’s critical systems have been compromised in what is being called the world’s first AI-driven cyberattack.

This incident has the potential to shatter the trust in the sectors that provide necessary services to the people and, therefore, it has been a call for all public and private entities to implement strong security measures in their infrastructures.

To be on the safe side, these organisations have to implement a defence strategy that comprises of several layers of security, each digging deep into the next one, so that they are able to resist cyber incidents of this nature in the future.

UK’s infrastructure cyber resilience questioned after first AI-orchestrated attack confirmed | New Civil Engineer

AI adoption is accelerating — but only organisations with the right guardrails can deploy GenAI safely and at speed. I’m working across the UK with CISOs, CTOs and AI-first teams to help them do exactly that. Scott Petty’s approach captures the shift perfectly.

This week, I had the privilege of speaking at the Microsoft CIO Summit in San Francisco, themed “Becoming Frontier.” Together with 250 industry leading CIOs, we explored best practices and discussed how AI is reshaping our industry, including transforming the security landscape and introducing both new opportunities and risks. I was proud to share Vodafone’s AI adoption journey of connecting everyone and driving real transformation through innovation.
 
Vodafone’s AI journey began with clear business objectives: simplify work, enhance customer experience, and unlock innovation at scale. When AI is used in the correct way within a robust framework and clear policies, it becomes a true game changer. Generative AI is now embedded in Vodafone’s core operations, from customer care to network management and software development, delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, satisfaction, and productivity.
 
By building on a strong foundation of architecture, platforms, governance, partnerships, and people, we’re accelerating innovation and unlocking new products and revenue streams. Our approach delivers operational excellence and better service, fundamentally transforming how we work and serve our customers.
 
When my colleague Silvia Neumann, Digital Experience Design & Engagement Manager, presented our real-life examples of Copilot deployment, she emphasised that success depends on staying curious and creative. It also requires matching business challenges with outcomes that create real value for customers, removing barriers, tracking and sharing experiences, and making AI part of our daily conversation. I echo these transformational steps. 
 
As we continue our journey, I’m excited to keep learning, experimenting, and sharing best practices with my peers so together we can shape technology that benefits society.

Transhumanism is being increasingly referred to as the country seeks to assert its leadership in AI and other frontier technologies.

It advocates for using tech to fundamentally change human abilities and is laying out the blueprints for research and government initiatives, but isn't getting much traction from the general public.

Transparency and accountability in the public eye are necessary to make sure the moral implications of these high-stakes technologies are considered.

Transhumanism is quietly influencing UK tech policy

As the end of 2025 draws near, UK small firms will be faced with a stark choice: concentrate on survival, or growth.

Cost pressures and the rising expenses of doing business have caused almost 60% of small business owners to focus on managing costs, but there are opportunities to scale, for example in technology and online retailing.

Digital transformation and sustainability will be key for those who want to go forward, as companies respond to evolving consumer expectations and work to create a resilient platform for growth.

Small Business Trends in the UK: Survival or Scale in 2025? - The UK Times

2025 has experienced an unprecedented increase in cybercrime, with small businesses being easy targets.

Notable trends include shrinking cybersecurity budgets in the face of growing attack counts, greater AI use for defenders and attackers, and some surprising tactics like deepfakes being used in scams.

Challenging organisations is a complex threat landscape, amplified by a growing skills gap, and driven by an environment requiring increased global collaboration. Stronger public-private partnerships are needed to address these challenges and build resilience.
