The UK government’s draft industrial strategy, “Invest 2035”, is a comprehensive 10-year plan aimed at fostering long-term, inclusive, secure, and sustainable growth. It sets out a number of objectives that NCC Group believes are relevant to, and should be underpinned by, the UK’s world-leading cyber security industry. Here, UK Market SVP Matthew Thomas comments. https://bit.ly/4f3Gqg4

🇮🇳On this Independence Day, let’s reflect on the journey of our nation and commit to building a future rooted in integrity, innovation, and inclusivity. Independence is not just about freedom; it’s about the responsibility to shape a better tomorrow for everyone. Together, let's drive progress and honor the spirit of our nation. 🇮🇳Independence Day makes me think about the importance of keeping our digital world safe. Just like our forefathers fought for our freedom, today we need to protect our online spaces from cyber threats. By staying alert and using the right tools, we can secure our nation's digital future. Let’s celebrate our independence by working together to keep our online world safe and free for everyone.

The June CA magazine includes a column from me on Shaping the Profession, a major program of research, consultancy and consultation with stakeholders. We are asking fundamental and difficult questions, including about how qualifications, professional accountants and the profession will all need to change to be relevant, valued and trusted in a world enabled by technology and challenged by critical concerns including sustainability, inequality, ethical failures and globalisation. It’s an essential program; one in which I’m delighted to say ICAS is brave enough to take the lead.

Thank you ICAS - The Professional Body of CAs, Ryan Herman and Sarah Speirs for helping UK firms to prepare for the upcoming commercial risks associated with working with EU financial services clients. This month’s magazine includes my article on what UK firms need to do now.   Many firms are unaware that their EU clients are conducting thorough risk assessments for Information and Communication Technology, which include evaluating the risk exposure to and from other financial entities and critical or important functions.    This means that EU firms may contact their UK third parties to review their risk analysis and cyber controls. Based on this, the client will decide whether it can continue the business relationship without regulatory issues. This could be a make-or-break discussion, and the deadline is only seven months away.

⚡️ Guten Morgen, liebe Leute – Delighted to reveal the 4th panel of the Summit (out of 12 in total): 🎙️ CYBER ATTACKS: THE ARCHITECTURE OF AGGRESSION 🎙️ Over the last few years, cyber security threats have significantly increased in level, complexity and scale. Whether you talk to insurance companies or to regional law firms, the topic is becoming more and more in demand. We will look at the most common types of cyber attacks from a technical standpoint, use a games industry related case study to explain the role of a lawyer and the internal processes that are triggered once an attack happens, and then move to the discussion of what a legal team can do to be prepared for the future cyber attacks (and, to a certain degree, to help prevent them). 🇩🇪 Tobias Schelinski (Taylor Wessing Germany) will lead and moderate a panel with 🇩🇪 Hans-Peter Fischer (FTI Consulting Cybersecurity), 🇩🇪 Christoph Ritzer (Norton Rose Fulbright) and 🇵🇹 Ana Bastos (Antas da Cunha Ecija & Associados). The panel is scheduled for the afternoon of September 5. #cyberattacks #videogames #gamesindustry #privacy
