This event has now passed.
We had an exceptional day at the EICC for Scot-Secure 2026. Now that the summit has concluded, we want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who joined the Acumen Cyber team alongside SentinelOne at our stand. It was fantastic to move past standard tool deployment and engage in such candid conversations about building a stronger, more proactive defence together.
With AI continuing to dominate the floor, the energy at the stand was brilliant as we dived into the practical realities of today's threat landscape:
-
The AI Arms Race: Moving beyond the standard industry hype to look at how polymorphic code is actively reshaping the landscape, and discussing how to safely scale enterprise AI with capabilities like Prompt Security.
-
Identity & Privilege: Exploring the operational shift of why "logging in" has effectively become the new "breaking in", alongside tactical methods to limit an attacker's structural blast radius.
-
Resilience in Practice: Examining how shifting toward autonomous security operations can alleviate alert fatigue and successfully free up internal defenders for strategic, high-value work.
At Acumen, these collaborative sessions reinforce our core belief that the best defence will always be powered by people and engineered by expert problem solvers. If you missed out on connecting with us in Edinburgh this time, we have a packed calendar of exclusive roundtables, interactive summits, and events planned throughout 2026. Be sure to keep an eye on our main events page so you can secure your place at the next table.
Safeguarding Scotland’s Digital Future: Acumen Cyber at Scot-Secure 2026

Overview
Digital transformation across Scottish enterprise is moving at a relentless pace, but the security landscape is shifting just as rapidly. In an era defined by AI-driven attacks, complex privilege sprawl, and heightened geopolitical tensions, maintaining clear operational visibility and resilience isn't just an internal IT target - it is a critical business dependency.
As part of our commitment to driving practical, human-led cyber security, the Acumen team will be joining forces with our partners at SentinelOne on their stand at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) for Scot-Secure 2026. Now in its 12th year, Scotland's flagship Cyber Security for Business Summit brings together senior leaders, decision-makers, and technical practitioners to move past the standard industry buzzwords and discuss how to build scalable, proactive defences.

Our Core Focus: Real-World Defence Over Hype
Turning Threat Data into Actionable Protection
The 2026 summit agenda targets the exact challenges our engineers help organisations solve every single day. We know that running a secure estate in today's environment requires moving past the standard "deploy and hope" mentality. True digital maturity comes from ensuring that your tools are properly configured, continuously validated, and backed by genuine human intelligence.
In an industry that frequently relies on automated black boxes and hands-off ticketing systems, we are focused on delivering measurable outcomes. Alongside SentinelOne, we will be discussing how combining market-leading visibility platforms with a flat, engineer-led Architecture allows businesses to confidently turn complex security data into a definitive corporate advantage.

Scot-Secure 2026 is specifically designed for information security and IT leaders across Scotland's public and private sectors, including:
-
Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and CSOs
