A Warm Welcome from Bluecube
On 15th September 2026, business leaders, IT professionals and cyber security experts joined Bluecube at Charlotte House for a morning dedicated to one of the biggest challenges facing organisations today: cyber security.
Attendees were welcomed by Bluecubes Managing Director, Paul Reames, who set the tone for the event. This wasn’t a discussion centred on fear, uncertainty or technical jargon, but a practical session designed to help businesses better understand cyber risks and build a stronger, more resilient security strategy.
With a complimentary breakfast and opportunities to network with industry peers, guests heard from expert speakers including Sasha Roshan from Huntress, Matthew Murray from Giacom and Bluecube’s Cyber Security Lead, Ollie Cole. Together, they explored the evolving threat landscape, the rise of identity-based attacks and the proactive measures organisations can take to strengthen their cyber security posture.
A key message ran throughout the event: cyber security is no longer just an IT concern. It is a business-wide responsibility that impacts operations, reputation, compliance and business continuity.
Understanding Today’s Threat Landscape
A key theme throughout the event was how rapidly cyber threats continue to evolve.
Speakers highlighted the growing risks associated with phishing attacks, compromised credentials, identity-based threats and the increasing sophistication of cyber criminals. Attendees gained valuable insight into how attackers target businesses and why organisations of every size remain a potential target.
The message was clear: cyber security can no longer be approached as a reactive exercise. Businesses must adopt proactive security measures to reduce risk and improve resilience before an incident occurs.
Advanced Threat Detection and Response
Our main speaker, Sasha Roshan from Huntress, shared insights into the growing use of AI by cyber criminals, the rise of token theft attacks and the challenges facing businesses in today’s threat landscape.
During the session, Sasha explained why being “too small” for a cyber attack is a myth, highlighting how organisations of every size are regularly targeted by hackers seeking easy opportunities.
Attendees also learned how modern threat detection and response services, including Huntress Managed ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), help businesses identify and stop threats before they escalate into serious incidents.
By combining advanced technology with 24/7 human-led monitoring, organisations can gain greater visibility into suspicious activity, reduce response times and minimise the impact of potential security incidents.
Through real-world examples and attack scenarios, attendees gained a clear understanding of how proactive monitoring forms a critical part of a layered cyber security strategy.
Making the Most of Existing Security Investments
Matthew Murray from Giacom explored some of the security capabilities available within Microsoft 365 Business Premium.
The discussion highlighted how many businesses already have access to valuable security features designed to help protect users, devices and data, but are not always taking full advantage of them.
From multi-factor authentication and device management to identity protection and security policies, the session demonstrated how organisations can strengthen their security posture by making better use of the tools they already own.
This served as an important reminder that improving cyber security doesn’t always require significant new investment. In many cases, it starts with maximising the value of existing technology and implementing security best practices consistently across the business.
Bluecube’s Approach to Cyber Security
Bluecube’s Cyber Security Lead, Ollie Cole, brought the day’s key themes together by demonstrating how businesses can take a practical, layered approach to cyber security.
The session showcased how Bluecube helps customers strengthen their security through a combination of user awareness, identity protection, endpoint security, proactive monitoring and ongoing support.
Attendees also gained insight into recognised frameworks such as Cyber Essentials and how they can form part of a wider cyber security strategy.
The key takeaway was clear: effective cyber security isn’t about a single product or solution. It’s about combining the right technology, processes and expertise to protect your business against evolving threats.
Expert Conversations and Networking
Alongside the presentations, attendees had the opportunity to speak directly with security specialists and technology experts.
The discussions throughout the afternoon highlighted a common challenge faced by many organisations: finding the right balance between productivity, usability and security. These conversations allowed businesses to explore their own security concerns and gain practical advice tailored to their individual environments.
