SUMMARY:Community Engagement Meeting – May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is reshaping cyber security on both sides of the equation. Adversaries are using AI to accelerate attack development\, craft more convincing social engineering\, and automate reconnaissance at a scale previously impossible for all but the most sophisticated threat actors. At the same time\, defenders are harnessing AI to detect threats faster\, reduce analyst fatigue\, and close the resource gap — particularly in the SMB market where skilled headcount is hardest to retain. \nThis webinar brings together a CrowdStrike specialist MSSP and a CrowdStrike technical expert to explore what the AI arms race actually looks like in practice\, what SMBs and mid-market organisations should prioritise right now\, and how the next generation of security tooling is changing the calculus for resource-constrained teams. \nTopics to Be Covered \n1. AI as an Offensive Weapon\n– How threat actors are using large language models to generate phishing content\, malware variants\, and social engineering scripts at scale\n– AI-accelerated vulnerability research: from discovery to exploit in compressed timeframes\n– Deepfake audio and video as a vector for business email compromise and identity fraud\n– The democratisation of sophisticated attack tooling — and what it means when script-kiddies have AI\n– Nation-state actors and their use of AI to enhance persistence\, evasion\, and lateral movement \n2. AI as a Defensive Tool\n– How AI-native platforms like CrowdStrike Falcon detect threats in real time by correlating telemetry at scale\n– Behavioural analytics and anomaly detection: moving beyond signature-based approaches\n– AI-assisted triage: reducing mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR)\n– Charlotte AI and the role of conversational AI in the SOC — accelerating analyst workflows\n– How MSSPs leverage AI tooling to extend defence capacity without expanding headcount \n3. The SMB and Mid-Market Challenge\n– Why SMBs are disproportionately targeted — and disproportionately under-resourced\n– The cyber skills shortage and how AI changes the calculus for smaller security teams\n– Supply chain risk: how attackers compromise large organisations via their smaller partners\n– What the UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey tells us about AI-era exposure for SMBs\n– Practical steps organisations without dedicated security staff can take today \n4. Building the Right Security Posture for an AI World\n– Platform vs point solution: why consolidation matters when threats evolve faster than tools\n– The role of managed services in delivering AI-powered defence to organisations that can’t build it themselves\n– How to evaluate AI security claims — separating genuine capability from marketing noise\n– Incident response in the age of AI: faster attacks demand faster containment\n– Frameworks and practical guidance: NCSC\, CISA\, and CrowdStrike’s own adversary intelligence \n5. Looking Ahead: The Next 12 Months\n– Autonomous agents as both an attack vector and a defensive capability\n– AI regulation in the UK and EU — and what it means for how organisations manage AI risk\n– The evolving attacker economy: AI-as-a-Service on the dark web\n– Where the industry is investing and what that signals for defenders \nSpeakers \nTom Exelby — Head of Cybersecurity\, Red Helix / OxCyber Ambassador\nTom leads cybersecurity at Red Helix\, where he is responsible for product strategy\, partner programme development\, and GTM across the firm’s CrowdStrike-managed service portfolio. He brings a practitioner’s perspective on how AI-driven threats are landing in the UK SMB market and what organisations at varying levels of security maturity should prioritise. As an OxCyber Ambassador\, Tom is a regular contributor to the community’s thought leadership programme. \nJames Jenkins — CrowdStrike\nJames Jenkins represents CrowdStrike’s technical and commercial expertise\, with direct visibility into how the Falcon platform is being used to counter evolving\, AI-enabled threats across customer environments. His contribution will ground the discussion in the operational reality of what defenders are seeing — and what the tooling is capable of — right now. \nWho Should Attend\nThis webinar is designed for:\n– IT managers and senior leaders in SMB and mid-market organisations responsible for security decisions\n– CISOs and security professionals looking for a grounded\, practitioner-led view on AI and cyber risk\n– Business leaders (CFOs\, COOs\, CEOs) seeking to understand AI-era risk exposure and investment priorities\n– OxCyber members and the wider Oxfordshire technology and security community\n– Security consultants and advisors supporting clients through AI-driven threat uplift \nKey Takeaways for Attendees\n– A clear-eyed view of how AI is changing the threat landscape — with specific examples\, not abstractions\n– Practical guidance on the defensive technologies and approaches that are making a material difference\n– An understanding of what ‘good’ looks like for SMBs and mid-market organisations facing AI-accelerated threats\n– Direct insight from CrowdStrike into how one of the world’s leading security platforms is evolving to meet these challenges\n– A framework for evaluating your own security posture in light of AI-era risks \nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/b54d29ef-fb5b-47e9-b023-509908046235@158e39a1-001c-44f0-90d6-35872708c845 \nThe future is digital\, and OxCyber is leading the way! \nWe look forward to having you attend the event!

SUMMARY:Ox Tech Week: Quantum in the Quad 2026: From Lab to Frontline Support – Dual‑Use Quantum Innovation Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Join Oxfordshire’s Regional Defence and Security Cluster (OBC RDSC) and the Oxfordshire Cybersecurity Cluster (OxCyber CIC) for an evening exploring the security implications of quantum technologies as they move from research labs into real applications. Part of OxTech Week 2026\, this second edition of Quantum in the Quad spotlights real-world demonstrators\, dual-use innovation\, and the operational impact of quantum capabilities. \n​Quantum technology is reshaping the security landscape far beyond the familiar “cybersecurity-breaking” narrative. Advances in quantum sensing\, timing\, secure communications\, navigation\, and detection are starting to influence how we build\, operate\, and secure the systems our society depends on every day. \n​Quantum in the Quad 2026 brings together innovators\, users\, security practitioners\, and researchers to explore how quantum capabilities are transitioning into practical security tools—and what this means for the future of the UK and society. \n​The programme includes talks by leading experts in the field\, including: \n\n\n​Professor Ian Reid\, Industry Professor of Adoption of Emerging Technologies at the University of Birmingham:\n“Emerging quantum sensing\, imaging and timing landscape\, and the challenges of defence adoption” \n\n\n​David Curry\, CEO\, Quantum Base Alpha:\n“From Biosecurity to Combatting Disinformation: Quantum Computing Use Cases in National Resilience” \n\n\n​Cassius Bandeen\, Lead Cybersecurity Consultant\, Avella Security:\n“Quantum-Ready Security: Protecting National Infrastructure in a Post-Quantum World” \n\n\n​Format: \n\n\n​10-minute talk\, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A for each speaker \n\n\n​Networking will follow\, leading into a panel on “From Lab to Frontline – Deploying Quantum Capabilities for Security.”\, featuring the above speakers\, joined by Mirella Koleva\, CEO of Quantopticon. \n​A candid conversation exploring:\n• What defence users actually need from quantum technologies\n• The practical\, ethical\, and strategic realities of deployment\n• How to bridge TRL gaps for operational readiness\n• The dual-use challenge: export controls\, standards\, and commercialisation\n• Where quantum creates security advantage versus security risk \n​Why attend?\n• A security-driven framing of quantum technologies\n• Insights from real practitioners\n• A platform spotlighting innovators ready for defence engagement\n• Opportunities for cross-cluster collaboration between cyber\, defence\, and quantum communities\n• A flagship moment for OxTech Week 2026 \n​If you are working in security\, cyber\, R&D\, innovation policy\, or emerging tech\, this event will give you a clear\, grounded picture of the security impacts of quantum systems. \nSecure your spot here: https://luma.com/bkbxaxkh \nThis event is free for OxCyber members. \nOption 1 – Already a member \nIf you are already an OxCyber member\, please register with the email address you used when initially registering for your membership with OxCyber\, and we’ll approve your ticket as soon as we can. \nOption 2 – Not yet a member?
