📰 As the UK cyber community gathers in Glasgow for CyberUK 2026, the Laboratory for AI Security Research (LASR) has released new research that speaks directly to one of the conference’s most pressing challenges: securing AI systems at scale. 🔗 Read in full: https://lnkd.in/etiYZnQD The ‘AI Supply Chain Security: From Visibility to Action’ report, developed by Plexal and supported by Cisco, explores why and how traditional software supply chain security approaches fall short for AI. It shows how data-defined systems, fragmented ownership and weak attribution across AI ecosystems create systemic risks that are difficult to detect, trace and remediate. Visibility alone isn’t enough. Transparency mechanisms such as model cards and SBOMs only become meaningful when they’re connected to continuous validation, clear accountability and enforceable action. 🌐 LASR SMEs, including Secure Agentics and TIKOS®, as well as partners Plexal, University of Oxford, The Alan Turing Institute, Queen's University Belfast and HMG are present at #CyberUK26 demonstrating crucial cross-industry representation. And as Cisco’s ongoing collaboration with LASR reaches the one-year milestone, our research reflects the practical, systems-level thinking needed to support secure, resilient and trustworthy AI deployments – particularly across the public sector and critical infrastructure.

🧱 UK startup SAIF Autonomy is building the trust layer for AI, enabling trustworthy deployments of agentic systems in business-critical workflows to advanced robotics in safety critical applications and beyond. 🇸🇬To that end, it’s used the CyberBoost Catalyse programme (delivered by the CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre) to explore use cases for its technology in Singapore – its first stop for Asia Pacific expansion. 🛡️ SAIF Autonomy provides a real-time guardian for AI-driven systems capable of monitoring actions and intervening to prevent unsafe behaviour and mitigate emerging cyber vulnerabilities. The company’s technology operates predictably and securely, even in the most demanding operational environments. 💵 Having secured $3.4m in funding, SAIF Autonomy is keen to connect with investors, customers and partners – especially in Singapore.

Really looking forward to CyberUK kicking off today. Lots of milestones coming for Golden Valley in the next few days and weeks! The sun is shining, and as a proud Weegie advertising my Scottish brogue and dialect as often as possible, (just ask the team about ‘stooshies’ or ‘dreich’ weather hopefully you won’t get a ‘glaikit’ look!)…I’m mostly looking forward to having my friends from the South West, “back tae mine”! Come for a ‘blether’, or a ‘swallie’ tonight? Golden Valley Cheltenham Borough Council HBD Plexal https://lnkd.in/eyaHn28n

The CloudPeek team are delighted to be attending #CYBERUK26! Come and see us at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology SME Innovation zone on Wednesday and Thursday. We'd love to discuss how our flexible autonomy solution can transform your security. Plexal Plexal Cyber Ben A Wesley Paul Graham Complin Glen Griffin Oliver Bridal Craig Hollington Steve Latchem

🏁 No enterprise wants to fall behind in the race to adopt generative AI. That’s why Vulcan - Security for GenAI helps organisations deploy AI safely and confidently, while preventing unintended consequences that can damage trust and reputation. 🛡️ The company specialises in generative AI security for enterprises, delivering scenario‑specific red teaming for complex AI systems to uncover security and safety vulnerabilities early. 🔎 Vulcan’s platform also provides real‑time monitoring and custom guardrails to detect and defend against evolving threats such as jailbreaks, cultural‑context exploits and sensitive data leakage. 🇸🇬 As a panel tester for Singapore’s Global AI Assurance Sandbox, Vulcan is a trusted partner for regulated enterprises and public agencies. By taking part in the CyberBoost Catalyse programme (delivered by the CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre), Vulcan is deepening its customer base in Singapore while accelerating its expansion across Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

🌏 Why Singapore is a launchpad for global cyber security growth 🇸🇬 Business‑friendly, digitally advanced and consistently recognised as a world‑class smart city, Singapore continues to cement its role as a cyber and AI security hub for the APAC region. 🌐 That unique combination is exactly why CyberBoost Catalyse was launched from Singapore in 2024. Delivered as a trilogy of programmes, the six‑month hybrid initiative brings together ambitious international cyber security leaders to connect with the APAC market, accelerate growth strategies and unlock investment and commercial opportunities. Established by the CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre, supported by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and National University of Singapore and powered by Plexal, the results speak for themselves. Across three cohorts, participating companies have raised tens of millions of pounds in investment and created over 60 cyber security jobs. We’ve spoken to founders from Singapore, Israel, the UK, South Korea, Oman and the US about what it really takes to scale internationally – and what’s next. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/exrGE8a6 🤝 Thank you to CloudsineAI CEO and founder Matthias Chin, SQR CEO Shelley Langan-Newton, VulnCheck CEO Anthony Bettini and CMO Thomas Bain, Zeroport CEO Joseph Gertz, Goldilock Secure's Director of Asia Chris Hurd and Vulcan - Security for GenAI's Director of Partnerships Sue Yen LEOW for the insights.

🌐 CyberUK begins tomorrow and the Plexal team – represented by Saj Huq, Monika Radclyffe, Tom Jeffery, Diane Gilbert, Ben Edginton-Thomas and Patricia Jamelska – will be in Glasgow as the UK Government’s flagship cyber security event celebrates its tenth anniversary. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 As over 2,500 cyber leaders and professionals head to Scotland for the event, we look forward to working alongside the National Cyber Security Centre, setting up stall in its Ecosystem Zone and furthering our commitment to strengthen the UK’s technology and innovation base. 🤝 We’ll be in good company, as alumni from our NCSC For Startups programme will be attending, including ANGOKA, coc00n cyber, Configured Things, Cyber Defence Service Ltd, Cyber Tzar, cyntegra, Ethicronics, Goldilock Secure, Lexverify (acquired by Trust Stamp), Lupovis, Meterian, Naq,Redflags., RevEng.AI , Rowden, Trustd Mobile and Validato. And on the AI security side, LASR cohort companies Secure Agentics and TIKOS® will also be present. 🚀 The theme for the 2026 event is The Next Decade: Accelerating our Cyber Defence. We’ll be readily discussing how we're applying strategic innovation, research and collaborative cross-industry partnerships, delivering for initiatives such as the Laboratory for AI Security and Research (LASR) and Golden Valley, to enhance our national resilience. #CyberUK26

📡 How do we close the gap between cyber innovation and the real security needs of the UK’s critical national infrastructure? At BT Group's Adastral Park – its primary R&D site and home to advanced network, cyber and satellite capabilities – Plexal brought together SME leaders, government officials and CISOs as part of our Cyber Runway CNI programme. Across sectors including energy, water and telecoms, one thing was clear: there’s strong appetite from both public and private sectors to work more closely, not just on cyber risk, but on skills, investment and how SMEs are supported to scale into CNI environments. Based on the discussion, we’ve captured the key challenges and the biggest opportunities from AI onwards for anyone serious about strengthening the UK’s critical national infrastructure. 📰 Read the full piece: https://lnkd.in/ehUJ8dWS APIContext | CloudPeek AI | Goldilock Secure | Hacktonics | KETS Quantum Security | PRAEFERRE | Monika Radclyffe | Diane Gilbert | Sarah Pye | Michelle Zhu | Robert Kearney | Alan Every | Maria Barr | Niki Benning| Adam Bishop | Zen Terrelonge |
