The Cyber Conference that's putting people back at the centre of security.
Cybersecurity has spent years talking about technology... but we haven't fixed anything!
Perhaps focusing on Firewalls, zero-trust models, AI and the latest trend isn't improving things.
We think it's time for a change.
This isn't a Cyber conference... it's a community coming together who want to do something different.
We know that every major breach involves people. Not just when someone clicks a link, but when a developer doesn't check a release (because they're too busy or didn't know they had to).
And every breach impacts people, either directly or indirectly.
That's why we are running this conference to begin a new conversation...
Who should attend.
Join security professionals, business leaders, data protection experts and innovators for a conference that tackles the one subject every organisation needs to understand.. Human Risk Management.
What you can expect.
A full day of world-class speakers, practical workshops, honest conversations and meaningful networking, followed by the prestigious Real Cyber Awards celebrating the people making a genuine difference across our
profession.
No fear.
No endless sales pitches.
No buzzword bingo.
Just real conversations about the future, and how we
can protect those we value most.
WHEN and WHERE?
30th October (9am to 5pm), The Milner Hotel, York. This beautiful hotel sits next to the train station in the heart of York.
TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW.
Why This Conference Exists
We were bored of going to events where everyone talks about technology, but very few are talking about people and even fewer are offering genuine solutions that will improve security.
The Real Cyber Awards & Conference was created because we believe cyber security isn't just a technical challenge. It's a human one.
Every phishing email, deployed software, insider threat, AI 'adoption' requires human interaction. And behind every incident is a person. Behind every successful defence is one too.
This conference exists to change the conversation and move beyond fear, compliance and technology. In other words; We need to go further than 'Security Theatre'!
We need to understand how people can become our human advantage and our greatest strength. Because when we understand people we build security practices that actually work (imagine that!?)
Why Attend?
Come on! Are you still not convinced?! This is more than 'just another cybersecurity conference'. You'll leave inspired with far more than a 'totebag' packed with notebooks and pens!
You'll leave with practical advice you can use and insights that will make a difference to your career.
We can promise you that there will be NO Vendor-led product demonstrations, but talks that last just 20 minutes (TED style) so that we can ask each speaker to get to 'the good stuff' as quickly as possible!
You're going to discover why human risk management is becoming the most conversations in cybersecurity.
WORLD CLASS SPEAKERS
We're about to announce the speakers, but I guarantee there'll be some surprises, and more importantly you'll get to hear something different.
NETWORKING
Meet hundreds of professionals from across cyber security, information security, data protection and business leadership.
Build relationships that continue long after the event ends.
CAREER INSPIRATION
Whether you're just starting out or leading security programmes, you'll leave with renewed purpose and fresh ideas for your own journey in this industry.
Why You should NOT Attend!
This event probably isn't for you if...
You're looking for endless product demonstrations.
You want every conversation to revolve around AI.
You enjoy fear-based marketing.
You expect vendors to scan your badge every five minutes.
You're only interested in technology.
But...
If you believe security starts with people...
If you're ready for deeper conversations...
If you want practical ideas you can take back to your organisation...
You'll fit right in.
Ready to be part of something different?
