Weak Links: How Cyber Threats Are Breaking Britain's Supply Chains

Speaker: Susanna Whawell, Director, Auxilium Auditing

Time: 10 December 2025, 18:00 - 19:30

Where: Zoom

Join us for a critical examination of cyber threats devastating UK supply chains. Through detailed analysis of three catastrophic 2025 incidents—Co-op (£206m loss), Marks & Spencer (£300m profit loss), and Jaguar Land Rover (£1.2-4.7bn potential impact)—you'll discover why supply chain attacks are accelerating and how to defend your organisation. Learn practical strategies for implementing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC2 standards, conducting robust supplier assessments, and building cyber resilience. With attackers exploiting third-party vulnerabilities to bypass even sophisticated defences, this session provides the actionable framework you need to transform cybersecurity from an IT problem into your competitive advantage.
