Futurescot's Cyber Security Conference 2026

Futurescot's Cyber Security Conference 2026 serves as a major gathering point for Scotland’s public sector security leaders. The program highlights the growing pressure placed on national agencies and public institutions as attacks become more frequent and more sophisticated. Delegates can expect a strong focus on national coordination efforts, including the introduction of Scotland’s new Cyber Observatory. The event attracts senior figures from law enforcement, digital government, health services, education networks, and critical infrastructure, creating an environment where complex security issues can be discussed with clarity and shared purpose.

The agenda also explores how AI and automation are influencing both offensive and defensive security practices. Sessions take a practical direction, guiding attendees through real cases of ransomware, phishing, social engineering, and insider risk. The goal is to provide clear strategies that organizations can use to strengthen their cyber resilience and reduce exposure to disruptive attacks.
