Speaker: Theo Blackwell, Chief Digital Officer, Greater London Authority
Resilience First is delighted to present our members with the unique opportunity to hear from the London’s first Chief Digital Officer, Theo Blackwell and the GLA’s plans for a cyber strategy for the capital.
The cyber strategy will direct the Mayor’s Smart Cities plan for London. The emerging strategy focuses on:
1) safer citizens
2) protecting public services
3) helping businesses invest in cyber
4) promoting the growth of the cyber sector
The Chief Digital Officer provides strategic leadership on the digital transformation agenda for London’s public services, across the GLA group and the wider public sector.
During this event, our business members will be able to engage with the Chief Digital Officer on the resilience focus of the strategy.
