Summer’s Nearly Here – and So Is the Next Wave of Identity Security
If the Spring sunshine is anything to go by, we’re in for a spectacular Summer. Just like the weather, things have been heating up at BlueFort. Over the past few months, we’ve been on the road across the UK, supporting organisations as they tackle one of today’s most urgent cybersecurity challenges: identity security.
We’ve had the privilege of running workshops with some of the UK’s most critical sectors. In Liverpool, we partnered with Silverfort to deliver a hands-on IAM session for North West NHS organisations, packed with practical guidance on discovering and enforcing correct service account behaviours and providing MFA everywhere. If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry – more dates, industry vertical events, and locations are coming soon.
We also brought identity front and centre whilst exhibiting and speaking at the Financial Services Infosec Conference 2025, where it was clear just how much DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is shaping 2025 strategies. Identity is no longer just a cybersecurity conversation; it’s a boardroom priority.
As we head into June, there’s another big moment on the horizon: the 30th anniversary of Infosecurity Europe, now at London’s ExCeL. From its early Olympia days, to becoming one of Europe’s flagship cyber events, we’re proud to have walked this journey with the community and we’re incredibly excited to catch up with friends, partners, and new faces once again from 3rd-5th June. We’d love to see you there, and it’s not too late to register for your free pass HERE.
To our customers, partners, and supporters: thank you. Your trust, collaboration, and commitment fuel everything we do. We’re just getting started, with more insights, events, and hands-on support coming your way to help your organisation stay secure, resilient, and always a step ahead.
Enjoy the sunshine – and stay cyber safe.
Warm regards
Dave Henderson
