Is the UK’s public sector prepared to withstand the next wave of cyber threats?

In an era of increasing digital interconnectivity, the UK’s national resilience is being put to the test. The threat landscape is growing more complex, with ransomware attacks on public services up 75% over the last two years and critical infrastructure facing unprecedented levels of cyber intrusion. The Government Cyber Security Strategy 2022–2030 outlines an ambitious vision to enhance cyber resilience across all public sector organisations, aiming to make the UK a global leader in cyber defence and digital trust. Yet challenges persist—fragmented systems, legacy IT, and a shortage of skilled professionals continue to expose vulnerabilities in government networks and data systems.

The Institute of Government & Public Policy's Public Sector Cyber Security Conference and Exhibition 2025 has been designed around the current cybersecurity challenges, strategies for resilience, cultural transformation, innovations in cybersecurity, the importance of collaboration and learning, and the outlook on emerging trends and potential threats in public sector organisations.

Join us for the Public Sector Cyber Security Conference and Exhibition 2025, which will explore strategies for minimising cybersecurity risks for public sector organisations, safeguarding public data and staff data, and implementing measures to ensure rapid recovery from cyber-attacks.
