Into the Breach: Building cyber resilience in a year of relentless attacks

Hard lessons from 2025’s biggest breaches, and how to stay ahead.

2025 has seen a surge in major cyber incidents across the UK, from ransomware at Marks & Spencer and Co-op, to data leaks at Ticketmaster and code exposure at Deloitte. Each breach has exposed the same challenge: how do organisations protect business continuity and their reputation in a world where digital risk is constant?

Join other senior leaders from across private and public sectors for an interactive breakfast roundtable analysing the latest cyber security threats and how to prevent them.

Led by Dr Martin Wilson, Cyber Security User Research Specialist at the Northeast Business Resilience Centre, together with CGI cyber experts Autin Bailey and Lee Parkin, the discussion will focus on:

From exposure to assurance: Managing insider threats, developer and shadow IT risks.

• Learn practical ways to identify and govern hidden internal vulnerabilities before they become entry points for attackers.

Seeing the whole picture: Closing third-party and supply chain security gaps.

• Discover how to assess supplier risk end-to-end and build shared visibility into your extended digital ecosystem.

Ready for Ransomware: Building confidence in your crisis response.

• Test current cyber playbooks and take away actionable steps to strengthen incident readiness across people, process and technology.

Beyond compliance: Turning cyber investment into measurable business value.

• Explore how to align cyber priorities with organisational goals and demonstrate tangible ROI to your board.

Strength in numbers: Collaborating for sector-wide cyber resilience.

• Learn how cross-industry intelligence and partnerships can enhance long-term resilience against emerging threats.

By the end of the session, you’ll take away actionable intelligence from recent breaches, proven strategies to strengthen organisational resilience, and practical recommendations from CGI’s cyber experts, along with a concise summary of next steps to support your security priorities.
