ISACs Workshop
How Information Sharing can act as a Multiplier in Resilience Planning
Information sharing acts as a force multiplier in resilience planning by enabling organisations to identify emerging threats, learn from real-world incidents, and coordinate effective responses. In workshops run by Information Sharing & Analysis Centres (ISACs), participants exchange trusted intelligence, best practices, vulnerabilities, and lessons learned across sectors. This collaborative approach improves situational awareness, accelerates decision-making, reduces duplication of effort, and strengthens collective preparedness against cyber and physical risks. By fostering trusted relationships and timely communication, ISAC workshops help organisations anticipate disruptions, enhance incident response capabilities, and build a more resilient ecosystem where shared knowledge benefits all members and supports continuous improvement.

Transport & Logistics Sector Symposium
The transport (road, rail, air) and logistics sector is a cornerstone of critical infrastructure, enabling the movement of people, goods, and essential services. Increasing interconnectivity, digitalisation, and reliance on complex supply chains expose it to cyber, physical and hybrid threats. This session examines strategies to enhance resilience, protect key assets, and ensure continuity, focusing on risk management, cross-border coordination, and safeguarding operations against evolving threats in a dynamic global environment.
