Tech Events by CyberQ Group

CyberQ Group and Drop Table run a roundtable at Alpha Tower on Suffolk Street Queensway on identity as the real attack surface, 10:00 to 12:00. The premise is in the title: attackers overwhelmingly use legitimate login paths rather than breaking in. The session covers how authorised access gets exploited, where access control actually fails in practice, and how to build resilience in from the start rather than bolting it on. Stijn de Voogd, Chris Woods and Joel Hughes lead it, and the roundtable format keeps it candid rather than presentational. Free, in person, two hours. Why go: credential and session abuse is where most UK breaches now start, and a roundtable gets you other people's incident experience rather than a vendor's slide deck. Best for security engineers, IT leads and CTOs.

CyberQ Group and Rocketgx on technical debt — locating where yours actually sits, what it is costing, and the practical order in which to pay it down before it compounds. Free, at Alpha Works, during Birmingham Tech Week.

CyberQ Group and Microsoft on turning Zero Trust from a framework diagram into something that actually runs, at Alpha Works on the 22nd floor of Suffolk Street Queensway. The session is about execution: the operational alignment it demands, the identity groundwork that has to come first, and the order in which organisations sequence the work so that it does not stall halfway. Two hours, 13:00 to 15:00, free, during Birmingham Tech Week. Why go: most Zero Trust content stops at the principles, and the hard part is everything after. Best for security architects, IT leads and CTOs who have the mandate and are working out where to start.
