Event Organiser:CNI Security Group
The CNI Security Group’s latest date, is about one of the biggest risks facing critical infrastructure – ‘The Enemy Within – Mitigating the Insider Threat’. The day for all CNI stakeholders in the security sector, end users, consultants and system designers, will start at 10am.
‘Insider threat’ is often discussed as a technology problem or a failure of controls. In reality, it’s more complex, sitting at the intersection of human behaviour, organisational culture, and business pressure. As modern workplaces become more distributed, data more accessible, and employee trust more essential, traditional approaches to insider risk are becoming increasingly unsustainable. The event invites security and risk stakeholders to consider insider threat through a broader, more strategic focus. Through expert-led seminars and real-world insight, delegates will gain a clearer understanding of what can be done now to better anticipate, manage and mitigate insider threats.
Rather than concentrating solely on available tools or detection, the event will be taking a deep dive to explore how insider risks emerge, why they are so difficult to address, and what this reveals about the way organisations manage trust, accountability, and data access.
The event also highlights the Group’s technology members: barox, Hirsch, Nedap, ISM and Commend UK.
By addressing insider threat as a systemic issue rather than a standalone problem, the Group continues to champion the role of cyber assurance and resilience, backed by Government testing standards such as NPSA/CAPSS, as well as integration, visibility and joined-up security architectures in reducing organisational risk.
Sara Fisher, barox International Market Development Specialist and Chair of the CNI Security Group, says: “We have an outstanding line-up of speakers, including government agencies and end-user organisations, who will be sharing their perspectives on the evolving nature of insider threats, the challenges they present, and real-world experience of how this complex, global issue can be addressed through a combination of effective strategies, integrated technology, people and processes.”
Lunch will be provided on the day and the event will end with a Q&A panel discussion. Guests should arrive via the Basinghall Street entrance. An agenda and speaker list, with guest partner announcements, will be published nearer the event. For those wishing to stay longer, an evening drinks reception will be held at The Trading House, 89-91 Gresham St, City of London, London EC2V 5AY, after the event.
