Cyber in Practice for 2026:
Essential Insights For Change Practitioners
In today’s organisations, the success of any major change initiative depends on how well we anticipate and manage cyber risk. For change professionals, this is not just about compliance. It is about protecting the organisation from harm, delivering value efficiently, and ensuring that it has the flexibility to embrace new innovations safely.
Cyber in Practice for 2026 is a four-part webinar series designed to help business analysts, project managers, and change practitioners stay informed about the developments shaping cybersecurity and enterprise resilience. It explores the practical realities behind the headlines, connecting recent incidents, upcoming changes to the regulatory environment, and new methods for controlling risk to the day-to-day work of delivering change.
Each 60-minute virtual session combines concise briefings with live Q&A. The format encourages participants to explore the relevance of each theme within their own organisational context. In addition to attending the live sessions, enrolled participants will receive six months of complimentary access to all recordings, together with ongoing entry to monthly security briefings and exclusive online content.
1. The State of Cybersecurity in 2025: What the NCSC Annual Review Tells Us
26 November 2025 – Free Preview
This opening session provides a broad overview of the UK’s cybersecurity landscape, drawing on key findings from the NCSC Annual Review. We will consider what these insights mean for organisations delivering change and how national priorities translate into practical expectations for governance, assurance, and resilience. The discussion will set the stage for the rest of the series by identifying the emerging trends that every change professional should be aware of going into 2026.
2. Lessons from Recent Incidents: What Went Wrong and Why It Matters
10 December 2025
In this session, we will analyse some of the largest security incidents of 2025 to understand what went wrong and what can be learned. We will look at how these events affected business operations, financial position, and reputations, as well as customer trust, and explore how change teams could have helped to make a difference. For change practitioners, the discussion highlights how effective analysis, communication, and governance can improve visibility and reduce the likelihood of similar incidents occurring in the future.
3. Navigating Frameworks and Regulations: Building Resilience Through Better Alignment
14 January 2026
An understanding of cybersecurity frameworks is one of the most effective ways to improve organisational resilience and raise confidence in change. This session explains how frameworks such as the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework and NIS2 can be applied to protect against the most common threats. We will also explore how demonstrating resilience and compliance can be turned into a competitive advantage by improving assurance, strengthening reputation, and enabling faster approval of change. Change practitioners will learn how early alignment with security expectations leads to stronger outcomes and greater acceptance across stakeholders.
4. The Future of Cyber Resilience: Direction, Disruption, and New Priorities
11 February 2026
The final session explores the key themes most likely to shape cybersecurity and resilience in 2026. We will begin with the proposed Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill and examine how it reflects wider international trends. The discussion will then look at other topics that are expected to dominate professional agendas, including AI governance, quantum readiness, and the latest updates to the OWASP vulnerabilities. Change practitioners will gain a clear view of where policy and technology are heading and how to prepare their organisations for the challenges ahead.
