Turning Cyber Risk into Portfolio Value

The first 100 days after M&A are intense. They are also the most dangerous. Cyberattacks are 2.6x more likely during this period. We will show you how to turn this risk into resilience and protect portfolio value from day one.

You’ll see deep fake demos that show how easy it is to be spoofed. You’ll learn real-world lessons from examples that really matter to private equity decision makers. You’ll learn assessment techniques that quickly find and fix vulnerabilities before they become costly problems.

This is not theory. It’s practical, tried and tested advice from people who have been in the middle of live incidents themselves. You’ll leave with actions you can take immediately to secure your portfolio.

After the sessions, we’ll treat you to a delicious three-course lunch in Searcys’ incredible private dining room on Level 38 of the iconic Gherkin. Network with other PE leaders. Share experiences. Question the experts. Leave the event better prepared for whatever comes next.

Date and time: 9 October 2025, 11:00am – 3:00pm
Location: Searcys, Level 38, The Gherkin, London
