Why working together is key to tackling cybercrime

Securing data is not a solo endeavour; it is a team effort. By helping one business, we can make a significant impact on the entire supply chain. That’s why Helen Barge, Head of Digital Resilience at Barnett Waddingham, will speak at the upcoming International Cyber Expo to share insights on reducing cyber risk together and protecting us all.

The importance of reducing cyber risk together

Helen Barge will share her expertise on collaborative approaches to cyber risk reduction during the International Cyber Expo. The annual event gathers a global community of security leaders to share insights, network, and showcase cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, including immersive demonstrations. Helen will join a panel session called ‘Collaboration: Why working together is vital’ on Wednesday 1 October — day two of the Expo at Olympia London.

In today’s environment, organisations are deeply interconnected and often rely on third-party capabilities. This makes supply chain security critical because protecting only ourselves is not enough when suppliers can create vulnerabilities that provide attackers with access through our defences. By collaborating, building strong relationships, and fostering trust, we reduce this risk.

Panel of experts

Helen said: “It’s an honour to take part in the International Cyber Expo and join a panel of experts to discuss how sharing threat intelligence and expertise is becoming ever more important.

“By working together and sharing insights, best practice and defence strategies, we can help protect ourselves and our partners from those who would exploit any vulnerabilities. Digital defence is only as strong as the action we take – and we’re only as strong as the weakest link.
“This panel will be a vital and thought-provoking discussion about the many benefits of collaboration and ideas for how to do just that.

“I’m also looking forward to hearing the many other speakers, exploring the industry pavilions dedicated to showcasing innovation and discovering the product launches and solutions on show on the Tech Stage.

“Thank you to event partner SASIG (Security Awareness Special Interest Group) for inviting me to take part as a representative of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).”
