  • SJUK Leaders in Security Conference

    SJUK Leaders in Security Conference

    The ASC are pleased to be an Intellectual Partner for the SJUK Leaders in Security Conference, taking place at The Hilton Deansgate on Tuesday 16 July.

    The event promises over 30 speakers, with a fast-paced agenda covering multiple topics, from cybersecurity to supply chain, with panel discussions ranging from analysis about strategy to market challenges and opportunities.

    The ASC was asked to become an Intellectual Partner because of the value they can add to the conference. Many CSOs rely on consultants to help achieve their aims. Using a trusted register of professionals is vital to ensuring the correct service levels are contracted.

    Gary Thomas, ASC Chair “We are thrilled that we have partnered with SJUK for their Leaders Conference.

    “The Association of Security Consultants (ASC) is known for being the premier professional organisation for independent security consultants in the UK, what many people don’t realise is that we have also introduced a Corporate Membership for those employed in a senior security role in large organisations – private or public.

    “We highly value supporting events of this calibre to ensure our members remain up to date with developments in threats, technological solutions and industry best practices, helping to shape the security landscape of the future.”
