As a proud sponsor, the ASSA ABLOY team would like to thank the INCA team for delivering a valuable security awareness event – an often underrepresented but critical topic. We were delighted to showcase our future-proof security solution and engage in meaningful discussions on the industry’s evolving challenges.
The sessions were rich with forward-looking insights, covering areas vital to progress but not always part of daily focus. The atmosphere was open, collaborative, and ideal for reconnecting with partners and building new relationships.
It reinforced why we support events like this – bringing the Telecom community together to share innovation and drive the sector forward.
Presentations and discussions across the day included
- Updates on the Telecom Security Act by Nihal Newman, Director Security & Resilience Policy at Ofcom
- Updates from NCSC
- Managed security and proportionate compliance for Altnets
- Securing SaaS, PII and office IT in growing Altnets
- From cabinets to campuses – innovative digital access control over Altnet fibre
Key learnings from the day
Know your assets, know who can access them, secure your perimeter and test – don’t trust – your processes. Ofcom were very clear as the regulator that they felt enforcement action means everyone failed, so to prevent that threat to your business the advice from all our speakers and panelists was: look at what your risks are, look at how to mitigate them AND TEST THAT MITIGATION.
