CyberSIPs Doncaster Event - 1st July 2025

A very successful new coffee morning at Highfield Coffee Social for the the very first cyber security focused event in Doncaster, called CyberSIPs Doncaster. This was hosted by Guy Kramer, and was sponsored Cyber Intelligence & Advisory Ltd as a local Doncaster company (Chamber Member).

A couple of highlights:

• 17 attendees (inc industry newcomers, no cyber experience to industry professionals)
• +2 specific business opportunities/leads from events
• More than 20 new local connections between attendees (business, academia, local government)

The agenda covered an update on the cyber threat landscape, policy changes in UK for business resilience and government (DSIT) ambition to grow the UK cyber industry.
Later with on Supply Chain Risk inc Doncaster Airport (DSA) the Holtec's SMR factory for Doncaster and the planned Doncaster Tech Hub. These are great initiatives for the local economy and prosperity, however it does mean local SMB and Micro businesses need greater awareness to mitigate the increased risk that hacktivists, cyber criminal and nation-state pose to them.  Link to slides here
