The Cyber Security Forum is a BPIF community set up to support the industry in developing and improving its approach to data and cyber security and to provide a "go to" resource for IT leads in understanding options and best practice and in the event of incident management.

This forum is a curated and confidential Technical Forum of senior technical employees from organisations that handle and process critical confidential and financial data for their clients. The forum defines and shares best practice and learning ideas, strengthens networks and relationships.

The forum will also act as a peer to peer advisory network for incident management.

'Adare SEC are delighted to be supporting the BPIF's Cyber Security Forum. The nature of the work in this vital industry requires every Service Provider to manage client and customer data and whilst historically this has been largely limited to the creation of print output, the industry today is rapidly re-pivoting it's capabilities towards digital delivery and complimentary digital solutions and capabilities that will require a much sharper focus on data and information security. Preparing for this increased risk while re-platforming their business will be a significant challenge for many Service

Providers, as such having an established industry body that can help their members to safely

navigate these challenges is hugely important for Service Providers, their clients and of course, their customers.'
