Scottish Cyber Awards: Are You Ready?

Scottish Cyber Awards 2021

We’re all excited to be going to the prestigious Scottish Cyber Awards 2021 happening in a few short months. In its fifth successful year, it is the go-to event for everyone in our industry and celebrates the cyber stars of Scotland.

Now, we did win ‘Best Cyber Start-up’ in 2019, but this year, we’re eager for the awards ceremony for completely different reason. Because rather than winning an award, we’re proud to be sponsoring one. And not just any one. As we’re all about great teamwork, it seemed only natural that we sponsor the ‘Outstanding Cyber Team Award’. After all, we believe that good cyber security is backed by a great team. We’re sure whoever this year’s winner is, they’ll agree with us.

Taking place during Cyber Scotland Week, the awards are being held on 18th November at the Sheraton Hotel in historic Edinburgh. We hope you’ll join us there for what’s sure to be an unmissable evening.

There is still time to enter as applications are open until 31st August. You can apply for best cyber team here: https://scottishcyberawards.co.uk/outstanding-cyber-team

Good luck!

I had the opportunity to speak at Futurescot Digital Scotland in November last year alongside our partner, Fortinet . The event was a fantastic opportunity to delve into the latest innovations shaping the Scottish public sector from a digital perspective. One of the key themes of my talk was Zero Trust adoption.
Infrastructure modernisation is no longer a luxury—it's imperative. For organisations relying on legacy systems, the transition from F5s iSeries to rSeries represents more than a hardware upgrade; it's a critical step in maintaining technological resilience and competitive advantage. 
As the CEO of FullProxy, I've always believed that staying ahead of technological disruptions is increasingly the most pressing concern for businesses and public sector organisations across the globe – not just from a cyber security perspective, but as a fundamental safeguard against business interruption.
Peak shopping seasons like Black Friday and Cyber Monday are digital pressure tests that separate robust businesses from vulnerable ones. Modern enterprise infrastructure must go beyond basic load balancing, creating adaptive systems that anticipate and manage extreme traffic fluctuations.
