Overview

Digital transformation is moving at a rapid pace across every sector, but so is the velocity and scale of modern cyber threats. If you are currently putting the finishing touches on your Cyber Scotland Week 2026 plans, ensuring your defensive strategies are informed by real-world data is non-negotiable.

To move past the typical industry buzzwords and complex corporate noise, Acumen Cyber has teamed up with ScotlandIS to host a special Tech Tidbits webinar. This concise, 45-minute session is designed to cut through the hype and show exactly how every organisation - regardless of its size, sector, or current cyber maturity - can meaningfully apply threat intelligence to safeguard its operations.

Turning Intelligence Into Action

• Speaker: Cian Heasley, Principal Consultant and Threat Function Lead at Acumen Cyber

• The Focus: Showing how businesses of all scales can leverage threat data to transition from a posture of passive defence to one of active resilience.

In an era where threat actors exploit digital blind spots indiscriminately, relying on a "deploy and hope" mentality or assuming threat intelligence is exclusively for multi-national corporations creates massive risk. In this session, Cian will break down how small, local businesses and enterprise teams alike can use targeted threat insights to validate their existing security controls. He will outline how to anticipate changing adversarial tactics without adding operational friction or requiring a massive, dedicated internal team.

• Small business owners and corporate risk decision-makers
