Join us for an afternoon of practical insight and expert discussion exploring today’s fast-moving cyber risk landscape and what organisations must do to stay ahead.
This event brings together leading practitioners to examine the latest adversary tactics, the real-world implications of emerging technologies such as AI, and the evolving regulatory and legal environment shaping cyber resilience. From understanding who is targeting organisations and why, to managing supply chain vulnerabilities and navigating the path from incident response to legal proceedings, the programme offers actionable perspectives for security, risk, legal, and business leaders alike.
Alongside expert sessions, the event provides valuable opportunities to connect with peers, exchange experiences, and continue conversations during our networking break and post-event discussions.
Special offer for in-house lawyers: We are pleased to offer a limited number of complimentary places for in-house lawyers (up to two per organisation), to support wider access to this important discussion.
Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
To apply, please email hello@scl.org.
Full programme details will follow shortly. In the meantime, we’re delighted to share an early preview of our headline Hacking Live session:
Understanding the Rise of Infostealers – Do You Need to Be Concerned?
The Attackers Aren’t Hacking In. They Are Logging In.
The traditional ransomware attack is no longer the start of a compromise; it’s the final, predictable outcome of a more silent, sophisticated threat: Infostealer Malware.
Your corporate security perimeter has quietly shifted from your servers to your employees’ web browsers.
This is now an industrialised, service-based criminal economy.
Why You Must Attend
This threat is a policy failure, and the solution must be management-led.
Join us to understand the new business model behind your biggest risk and learn how convenience and outdated processes are fueling catastrophic breaches.
-
The Smoking Gun: We reveal the direct, proven link between stolen employee credentials and subsequent ransomware attacks.
-
The MFA Blind Spot: Learn why the “silver bullet” of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is failing, and how attackers bypass it by stealing the digital “keycard” your browser holds.
-
The Commoditised Breach: Understand the “Malware-as-a-Service” economy and the market forces driving down the cost and accelerating the speed of initial network access for criminal groups.
-
Demo: See how the threat actors can easily and often use free/open source tools to perform session hijacking using the data found within Infostears to bypass MFA.

“It is difficult to over-emphasise the importance of understanding cyber-risk in today’s world. Ever developing technologies are enhancing the ability of threat actors at all levels of sophistication to launch increasingly effective attacks, and jurisdictions around the world are developing policy and legislation in an attempt to help businesses stay one step ahead. It is crucial that both in house lawyers and external advisors are up to speed with the latest developments. Come along to this Cybersecurity Conference to hear from experts in the field and ensure you are best placed to advise on and manage risk in this increasingly complex field”
Shelley Thomas, SCL Trustee
