CyberThreat Conference 2025

When students reach the Sixth Form, work begins immediately to prepare them for life after Isleworth & Syon - particularly in terms of future career paths. One such example came from the computing department earlier this week, forming part of their studies on cyber-security. Protecting wider society against external computer threats is an ever-growing career, such is its importance. Therefore, it is useful for students studying the vocational Cambridge Technical and A level computer science courses to learn more about it.

The conference was called SANS CyberThreat25 and took place at football stadium Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea FC, on Thursday afternoon. It was a fantastic day, with students learning more about the cyber-security industry from trained practitioners and experts. There was also a series of hands-on workshops, including a hacking demonstration and a talk from Katie Moussouris (pictured right, click to view full size) - an American computer security researcher, entrepreneur and pioneer in vulnerability disclosure. As students travelled home, they were full of praise for the trip - with many now considering cyber-security undergraduate degrees and careers!
