Employees across the country were removed from usual network boundaries when the UK went into lockdown in March, leaving IT professionals scrambling to keep them operational.

Bytes CTO Dave Rawle, Sapphire CEO Annabel Berry and Computacenter network and security CTO Colin Williams will reveal how they are preparing end users for a hybrid model of remote and office-based working.

Meanwhile analysts Maxine Holt and Ketaki Borade will offer insights on how the threat landscape is evolving, and how cybercriminals are adapting their approach.

Alarmingly, both expect cybersecurity budgets to be cut in 2021, with countries around the world staring into the prospect of recession.

Senior execs from a host of vendors - including Barracuda, Cyren, Mimecast and Webroot - will also talk through how they're helping partners tackle the changing demands of customers.
