Subject Matter Presentation 1B: Cyber Resilience and Digital Trust

In an increasingly connected world, digital trust has become one of the most valuable assets a public sector organisation can hold. This session explores how councils are strengthening cyber resilience whilst protecting the services, data and communities that rely on them. Bringing together perspectives on organisational maturity, business continuity and workforce awareness, panellists will share practical lessons on preparing for cyber threats, responding to disruption and creating a culture of shared responsibility. The discussion will examine how organisations can move beyond compliance-driven approaches to build genuine resilience, maintain public confidence and support the safe adoption of emerging technologies. Join us to discover why the most cyber-resilient organisations are those that treat resilience not as an IT challenge, but as a whole-organisation capability.
