Bletchley Park

The Ballroom in the Mansion, Sherwood Dr, Bletchley, Milton Keynes MK3 6EB

As providers of cybersecurity technology solutions, we can be guilty of preaching that we fully understand the challenges and pain our customers are dealing with in today’s extraordinary threat landscape.

But, the reality is that we cannot possibly know precisely what your individual challenges and priorities are.

What we do know, however, is how important it is to listen, learn and collaborate with organisations facing modern cyberattacks as the attack landscape evolves, and to do that, we need to hear from you.

And so, we are inviting 15 people to an exclusive Dinner and Discussion in the Mansion at the historic Bletchley Park – the undisputed home of intelligence gathering in the UK – where we will be joined by Sir Dermot Turing who will be sharing stories and contributing to the discussion.

Dermot is the award-winning author of ‘X, Y and Z – the real story of how Enigma was broken’ and numerous other books relating to his internationally-renowned uncle Alan Turing, codebreaking and computing history. He is a trustee of Bletchley Park and a regular speaker at historical and other events.

Over a three-course dinner, you and your industry counterparts will be joined by experts from CrowdStrike and 4Data for an evening of discussion as we explore the pain points we are all experiencing, and what you are seeking in the way of support from vendors today.

    Registration for this event is now closed.

    If you are interested in receiving details of our upcoming events please email us on: info@4datasolutions.com

    The event will be co-hosted by Ian Tinney, CEO of 4Data Solutions and Chris Lord, Senior Solution Architect at CrowdStrike.

    Ian, a seasoned cybersecurity expert, co-founded 4Data Solutions to address modern cybersecurity threats. With a deep technical understanding and a keen business sense, Ian bridges the gap between complex security issues and practical business solutions.

    With over 25 years of experience in IT, including five years at CrowdStrike, Chris has extensive knowledge of cybersecurity challenges. He has worked with customers and partners in the UK and Ireland, helping them implement effective security solutions. With a diverse background, including roles in defence and retail, Chris provides a unique perspective on cybersecurity challenges.

    • We will delve into:
    • The state of SIEM today: The problems associated with legacy SIEMs and why a new approach is needed
    • The challenges around cloud security: The skills gap between traditional security teams and their cloud-based counterparts
    • The role of identity as the most significant attack vector: The challenges associated with detecting and stopping identity-based attacks

    Bletchley Park’s legacy is one of innovation and problem-solving in the face of adversity. From data analysis and pattern recognition to intelligence gathering and proactive threat hunting, the skills and techniques developed by the remarkable individuals at Bletchley Park continue to inform the field of modern threat intelligence, helping organisations stay ahead of emerging threats and protect their valuable assets.

    Fast forward to 2024, and together 4Data and CrowdStrike are taking the same approach, combining innovative technologies with niche, advanced skills to gather, analyse and protect mass volumes of data and empower organisations to maintain a strong security posture in the face of an ever-changing threat landscape.

    Our highly skilled consultants possess a combination of analytical, technical and interpersonal skills that are essential for protecting against complex threats.

    We do hope you can join us for this open and honest discussion at what we hope will be a very enjoyable evening in the company of Sir Dermot Turing and peers.
