Solihull Cyber Advice Network (SCAN) Business Resilience 2026

On 27 April 2026, the UK Government introduces significant updates to the Cyber Essentials certification scheme — affecting how businesses secure cloud systems, implement multi-factor authentication, and protect internet-connected devices.

The very next morning, SCAN – the Solihull Cyber Advice Network – is bringing together cyber security specialists and business advisors to explain exactly what these changes mean for local SMEs.

Join us on Tuesday 28 April 2026 at the National Motorcycle Museum, Solihull for a practical, business-focused morning designed to help organisations understand the new Cyber Essentials requirements and strengthen their cyber resilience.

Following the success of last year’s event, this year’s programme focuses on what has changed, what it means in practice, and how businesses can respond quickly and confidently.

• Understand the new Cyber Essentials requirements introduced in April 2026
• Stay ahead of emerging cyber threats affecting SMEs
• Hear directly from experienced cyber security professionals
• Connect with local business leaders facing the same challenges
• Gain practical guidance to strengthen your organisation’s cyber resilience

From phishing and ransomware to identity security, compliance risks and supply-chain pressures, the cyber landscape is evolving rapidly. Through expert talks, panel discussions and open networking, you’ll leave better informed, better prepared and better connected.

This event is free of charge, but places are limited.

For commercial reasons, this invitation is respectfully extended to owners, directors and senior managers of businesses within 40 miles of Solihull employing five or more staff.

If your organisation relies on email, cloud systems such as Microsoft 365, or handles customer or supplier data, this session will help you understand the practical steps needed to protect your business.

• Hear directly from cyber security and compliance experts
• Learn what the new Cyber Essentials changes mean for SMEs
• Discover practical solutions to real-world cyber risks
• Connect with local businesses and professional advisors
• Enjoy a complimentary light breakfast, refreshments and networking lunch in a unique venue

We’ll also be on hand to help with introductions – whether you’re looking to meet potential clients, partners or suppliers, just let us know.
