Cyber security professionals are facing unprecedented challenges due to increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks that exploit advanced technologies such as AI and automation.
Criminals and hostile state actors are deploying more complex threats, making detection and response harder. A significant skills shortage in the UK is limiting the availability of qualified experts to manage growing risks. Budget constraints further compound the issue on the one hand, and compete with the need to invest in robust defences. Increased digital adoption and reliance on cloud systems expand is creating more surface to attack, leaving many teams stretched and under-resourced in protecting critical infrastructure.
Trying to navigate all this can be overwhelming. That's why our partners Elastic have setup a new UK Security Network, designed to help you connect with other security professionals facing similar challenges, and to be part of a new, ongoing space for exchanging insights, practical knowledge, and sharing real-world use cases.
Here's what to expect:
- A collaborative environment focused on shared experience, best practice sharing and not product pitches*
- Insights from teams using Elastic Security in real-world operations
- Space to ask questions, offer ideas, and build peer connections
- A first look what we’ve got planned for the Elastic Security Network over the coming months
*As good journalists should do, we challenged Elastic whether it's just another a sales event in disguise! They resoundingly answered no! This is evidenced by their strong commitment to Community, collaboration, and shared insights. They also hear common themes across their customer base in the UK, so wanted to provide a safe space to provide solutions through collaboration.
