ScotlandIS Cyber

We’re embarking on a transformative journey to unite the cybersecurity and business communities like never before.

At UK Cyber Week – Expo & Conference 2024, our mission is clear: to foster collaboration by bringing world-class experts together, allowing them to share their invaluable knowledge, tools, and skills. Our ultimate aim is to empower individuals and organisations with the latest insights and cutting-edge strategies. Together, we’ll fortify our teams, companies, supply chains, and infrastructure against the ever-growing threat of cyber attacks.

By participating in UK Cyber Week, you can engage with a specialised and enthusiastic audience, leading to potential time and cost savings.

Our event draws attendees from various stages of the cybersecurity landscape, actively seeking solutions for their current and forthcoming projects. With a substantial turnout of participants, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with a discerning and highly focused audience actively seeking their next cyber solution.

The ScotlandIS Digital Technology Awards showcase excellence within the industry, rewarding the innovation, expertise and ambition of businesses large and small – and the people who drive them. Let’s highlight some of the great achievements within the tech sector over the last 12 months – nominate your organisation or an individual for the chance to be recognised amongst your peers.  Running for 14 years, the Awards are well established within our industry, offering winners the opportunity to use our platform to promote your business. Sharing your official winner’s badge on your website and social channels acts as a stamp of credibility and highlights quality standards to potential new clients.

We have two brand-new awards for 2024: Cyber Trailblazer, looking to recognise companies that have a novel solution to a cyber challenge, and Digital Tech Rising Star, shining a light on early career talent and the leaders of tomorrow.

If you have created a product or service that brings benefit to society, you could be eligible for the Tech for Good award, while innovative applications of data to transform businesses could indicate our Data Trailblazer.

If your organisation shows employees they are valued, and goes that extra mile to provide a positive working environment, then you might just have the Best Wellbeing at Work. The Digital Tech Business of the Year category looks to recognise start-ups, scale-ups and large companies that impress the judges with their outstanding tech, commercial success and growth over the past year.

There are a variety of different awards up for grabs that could shine a light on the fantastic work you’ve been doing, and all the criteria for each category is on our website so you can prepare your application answers in advance. Digital Tech 2024 will take place on 2nd May, at the Radisson Blu hotel in Glasgow. We look forward to you joining us for a night of food, fun and celebration of the industry. If you have any questions about the Digital Tech Awards, please contact marketing@basilinfracon.com.

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re taking up ‘Netwalking’ – having a catch-up whilst on the go!

We know how important taking a break from your laptop is for your physical and mental health, and some of the best ideas and brainstorming can happen on the move.

Join the ScotlandIS team for a walk around Linlithgow loch on Wednesday 15th May; for those that live locally or fancy jumping on a quick train from Edinburgh or Glasgow, we’ll be meeting at White Dove Coffee near the train station between 12-12:15pm.

We hope to see you there!

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MomentsForMovement

Now in its 10th year, Scotland’s largest annual cyber security summit will host a sister event in Glasgow, Scot-Secure West. The event brings together senior InfoSec personnel, IT leaders, academics, security researchers and law enforcement, providing a unique forum for knowledge exchange, discussion and high-level networking.

The programme is focused on improving awareness and best practices through shared learning: highlighting emerging threats, new research and changing adversarial tactics, and examining practical ways to improve resilience, detection and response.

This event is geared towards InfoSec & IT personnel and C-suite leaders.

Scotland’s leading and most anticipated tech conference will once again be held at the EICC on Thursday 26th September.
