Cheltenham, UK. March 30th 2026 – CyNam has announced Fortem IT as the headline partner for its flagship cyber security event, In the Eye of the Storm, taking place on 16th April, 2026.
Cyber security is not an isolated IT issue. When incidents occur, the impact cascades across supply chains, essential services, local economies and communities. From financial loss and reputational damage to operational shutdown and loss of public trust, the societal and economic stakes are higher than ever.
At a time when the impact of cyber security attacks is only increasing, In the Eye of the Storm explores what truly happens when a serious cyber incident strikes. Speakers will provide insights into not just the technical response, but also the human decisions, communication challenges, operational disruption and economic consequences that unfold in real time. The event brings together professionals from across industry, government and academia for an evening of shared learning, honest discussion and practical insight. CyNam and Fortem IT welcome anyone involved in preparing for, responding to and recovering from cyber crises. This includes those in security, operations, leadership, risk, communications and technology roles.
In the Eye of the Storm forms part of CyNam’s 2026 programme and reflects CyNam’s growing role as a convenor of the UK’s secure technology and resilience ecosystem, with a mission to strengthen collaboration, capability and preparedness.
Hollie Wakefield, General Manager of CyNam, said:
“Cyber security is not just a technical discipline, it underpins economic stability, public trust and national resilience. When a cyber crisis hits, the consequences ripple far beyond a single organisation. In the Eye of the Storm is about unpacking those critical moments – the pressure, the decisions and the collaboration required – and helping organisations build resilience. CyNam is the organisation at the centre of the UK’s fastest-growing cyber and secure technology ecosystem, and our partnership with Fortem IT ensures our community has access to the expertise and insight needed to improve the resilience of their businesses.”
As headline partner, Fortem IT will support the event and contribute expertise on how deep observability is essential for the modern business. Fortem IT will also offer complimentary cyber resilience reviews for organisations looking to reduce their digital risk and vulnerabilities. Interested organisations can register for a review at event registration or contact CyNam directly at info@cynam.org.
Fortem IT commented:
“We’re extremely proud to sponsor CyNam’s flagship event: In the Eye of the Storm. As a trusted technology partner, our mission is to strengthen organisational resilience and support the UK’s cyber ecosystem. This event shines a spotlight on what truly happens when a cyber crisis strikes: the decisions, pressure points, collaboration and real-time response required to navigate disruption. These are challenges our customers face every day, and supporting this event reflects our commitment to helping organisations build robust, practical resilience in an increasingly complex digital landscape.”
