Our future is destined to be filled with novelties and surprises. Predictions of the imminent take over by the Metaverse, the intangible, but very real NFTs, the shocking advancement and accessibility of generative AI are only a tiny portion of what we call innovation. When we think of innovation we must think of technology, but also processes and mindset. Whilst change is omnipresent, continuous and inevitable, we must protect ourselves against those who would use the technological advances against us.

The British Chamber of Commerce for Italy has chosen to focus on innovation as one of its pillars.  On 6 November 2024, starting at 9:00am, the Chamber will hold the second of its series of conferences on innovation, this time concentrating on cybersecurity and data protection.

Our keynote speaker will be Nicola Hudson OBE, Partner, Cybersecurity, Data & Privacy Global Lead, Brunswick

Nicola joined Brunswick as a Partner in the Cybersecurity, Data & Privacy practice in 2022. She has worked on hundreds of cyber security incidents and has deep expertise in cybersecurity issues and crisis management across both the public and private sector.
Prior to joining Brunswick, she was a member of the Executive Board at GCHQ and Director of Policy at the National Cyber Security Centre, having joined the centre as one of the founding Directors in 2016.
Previous to this, she was the Head of the UK Prime Minister’s Office, managing day-to-day business during a period of 2 referendums and 2 general elections. Her other government role was as Head of Government Strategic Communications for the Government Olympic Committee.
Before joining government, Nicola was Head of Communications at the business risk consultancy Control Risks Group and before this Head of Government Relations at Camelot during licence renewal.
Nicola brings a wealth of experience in crisis and reputational management, having coordinated the cyber communications response for FTSE250, NYSE, and NASDAQ-listed companies and critical infrastructure across a broad range of sectors and geographies.

We will also have the opportunity to hear from experts in the field who will guide us as we look beyond the sensational news and attempt to embrace innovation with fellow Chamber members and distinguished guests.

We invite you to join the conversation and contribute to shaping our collective future.
