Quotes from SANS and NCSC

"I am very excited to be co-hosting the 5th CyberThreat conference - they just get better and better. With each iteration the quality of submissions, the content and the overall engagement has grown, and this is down to you - our speakers, our delegates, our sponsors and all of those involved in making it a reality. Cyber defence is a team-sport and this is one amazing team - thank you and I look forward to welcoming you to CyberThreat24 in December." - Paul Chichester, Director of Operations, NCSC

"Cyber Threat is probably the single most important, illuminating and innovative technical cyber security event in the UK. Every year, the threat analyst community - from CEOs to students, from the UK to our furthest-flung allies, come together to identify and tackle the very latest attack vectors and trends. An open, frank, and truly expert forum - it is not to be missed." - Professor Ciaran Martin, Director of the CISO Network, SANS and Founder & Former Head of the NCSC

"Many of us spend time and energy at conferences trying to get together with fellow analysts, hackers, responders, and engineers - but often a deluge of hype marketing or high-level hand waving is in the way of discussing what really works. CyberThreat is hands on, no nonsense, and packed with speakers with great ideas and real-world experience. We focus on building the best experience we can - we are proud to offer our very challenging hackable badges and ranges so you can stress test your skills, work in new teams and sharpen the latest practices. This is the way we at SANS, and our partner NCSC, engage the community who really do work at the keyboard, and together make life harder for cyber criminals." - James Lyne, CTIO, SANS Institute

"CyberThreat 24 is a collaboration between SANS and the NCSC. It is the UK's leading event for the cyber industry's technical practitioners. It is a partnership with the NCSC which ensures the latest issues and threats are the topic of the day. Anyone attending will leave enriched by the depth of the content and the input from real-world leading practitioners and speakers who are there to share their knowledge.

Over the past 6 years, "CyberThreat" has evolved and is now a unique, one-of-its-kind technical conference where experts and practitioners come together to share what best practices, threats and trends they are encountering daily. This event truly brings together the best in the industry and nurtures a community that is critical and committed to the ongoing challenge of keeping the world a safer and better place.

The same ethos that permeates through SANS and its "Training and Content" where every SANS instructor is a real-world expert practitioner committed to sharing their own expertise and the transfer of knowledge to our students.

For any hands-on practitioners, this is an event that cannot be missed!" - Stephen Jones, Managing Director, SANS Institute
