LEADING INDUSTRY EXPERTS TO COME TOGETHER FOR RETURN OF CUTTING EDGE CYBERSECURITY CONFERENCE
TOP tier industry experts are to come together for the biggest cybersecurity event of its kind to take place in Staffordshire.
Following the success of 2025 – Cybercon Staffordshire – will this year welcome the award-winning Graham Cluley as keynote speaker for the conference, which will take place on Wednesday 8 April, at the Wade Conference Centre, in Hartshill Stoke-on-Trent from 9am – 4pm.
Graham – who was named as one of the World’s Top IT Security Influencers and was inducted into the InfoSecurity Hall of Fame in 2011 – has held many senior roles in cybersecurity companies such as Sophos and McAfee.
He also wrote Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus Toolkit – one of the world’s first anti-virus products for Windows.

Graham – whose talk will centre on AI and Cybercrime at the event- said: “AI in the workplace is no longer science fiction – and neither are the threats it introduces.
“From prompt injection to rogue agents, organisations face a new class of risk they’re woefully unprepared for. I’m delighted to be bringing that conversation to Cybercon Staffordshire.”
Cybercon Staffordshire is organised by leading IT firm – Abzorbed IT Solutions – and is designed for key decision-makers, including CEOs, IT Managers, CTOs, CISOs and other tech professionals – who are all seeking to stay ahead in today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
Usman Shah, Director of Abzorbed IT Solutions, said: “Last year the response to Cybercon Staffordshire was fantastic and it was great to see so many local businesses attend.
“Cyber threats occur on a regular basis and bringing leading industry experts together for events like these is so important. We would encourage as many organisations as possible to book on to the event where valuable insights will be shared, questions can be asked and connections can be made.”
Other speakers on the day include Global Director of Cyber Security Services Nick Jackson, who works with organisations across EMEA, the Americas and APAC, including ANZ and the Middle East.
Nick has expertise spanning offensive security testing and strategic cybersecurity advisory and helps organisations strengthen resilience and move beyond compliance-led security.
Birgitte Skorge Steen, who is the Head of Microsoft Cyber Security Sales and Strategy, will also be sharing insights on the day, plus Scalefusion will be delivering insight and strategies discussing the Evolution of Zero Trust and the Unconventional Endpoints.
