Cyro Chapter - The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill

6 Mar

The first Cyro Chapter of 2025 was a huge success, bringing together **cyber security leaders** from a plethora of industries. This session was a discussion on the upcoming **Cyber Security and Resilience Bill**. We examined its potential implications and the steps organisations should take to prepare for the evolving and upcoming cyber landscape this year.

Key TAKEAWAYS

New compliance requirements for suppliers to the public sector and critical infrastructure are on the horizon, potentially mandating adherence to CE, CE+, or ISO27001 through existing regulatory frameworks.

Some of the key takeaways of the session included:

An increased focus on threat-led intelligence and testing, ensuring a more proactive approach to cyber security.
The need for enhanced risk assessments, particularly in relation to supplier management and third-party security risks.
A robust incident management process, emphasising the importance of well-structured response strategies.
The inclusion of artificial intelligence within the bill’s scope, although the extent of its regulation remains to be determined.

The Power of Community and Networking

We were also lucky to be joined by Chris Spinks, Head of Operations at CYJAX, for our panel discussion. With his 20+ years of experience working with the FBI, Homeland Security and Europol, Chris shared his takes on what this Bill might mean for threat intelligence across a variety of sectors. The level of engagement, thought-provoking questions, and meaningful discussions throughout the evening played a key role in making the event a success.

Looking Ahead

As the regulatory and threat landscape continues to evolve, conversations like these are critical in helping organisations stay ahead. We look forward to continuing these discussions at future #CyroChapter events.
