This cyber transformation session shares the challenges in the West’s approach to cyber security, which is akin to a pick ‘n’ mix store, where lots of piecemeal capabilities are procured in an attempt to avoid single point of failure and potential vendor lock-in. Considering how this approach is hindering the effectiveness of cyber security organisation and making data and CNI more siloed due to different capabilities and a lack of interoperability, the panel will share:

• The immense value in procuring integrated and intelligent infrastructures for delivering cyber security capabilities,
• How to ensure cyber security capabilities are secure by design, collaborative and interoperable with other processes and technologies,
• The value in removing the pick ‘n’ mix approach to deliver cyber transformation for the UK and its allies and expanding feedback loops.
