Speakers include:

Ant Davis
Security Awareness ?️ | Community, Learning, and the Human Side of Cyber | Co-host of The Awareness Angle | Security, made human.

All views and opinions are my own and do not represent my employer. I help security awareness professionals build programmes, confidence, and community. After more than a decade leading awareness and engagement inside some of the UK’s largest retailers, I now focus on growing the people behind awareness, not just the programmes they run. That means shared learning, honest conversation, and practical skills that actually work in the real world. I’m building a community and academy for security awareness practitioners who want to go beyond compliance, understand human behaviour, and get better at influencing everyday decisions. Less box ticking, more behaviour change. My work blends experience, creativity, and people first thinking, from shaping awareness strategy and coaching internal leads, to creating learning spaces where practitioners can learn from each other.

Daniela Waugh
Head of Information Security

I am a highly experienced and dedicated information security leader with passion for everything infosec. I have achieved a rapid growth within security, starting as a security analyst in 2018, progressing my career to take a role as a Head of Information Security for a FTSE100 company within 3.5 years. I have various industry certifications (CISSP, CEH, ISO27001 Lead Implementer etc), as well as MSc in Advanced Security and Digital Forensics (GCHQ accredited), and IT and Computing degree (Networking pathway - inc. CCNA), for which I've studied while on maternity leave with 3 kids, part time working and being on a board of directors for We Are Bearwood CIC I believe that communication is the base of any relationship and use the soft skill to get best result in every area of life, whether it is in work life or the private one. I am an advocate of online privacy and I love the ever changing world of information security, where no day is like another. I constantly study to better myself and I am a mentor to people who aspire to become information security professionals. I am very passionate about community life and environment we live in, about human rights and improving mental health through the sports. I always work at the top level, enjoy finding the most efficient way how to do things and this was proven by the success with every position I worked at - being head-hunted from the first position (T-Mobile) to start the department which ended up as huge success (Brightpoint) and then leaving for new position (Emerson) after short period I was offered to lead a department, that would be created for me due to the success of the methods I developed and the relationships I've built with the suppliers. "Free" time: I am a member of a running club, purple belt in Nearu (Martial Art), I do ballet, competitive cheerleading and I love swimming. At the weekends I volunteer as a teaching assistant in supplementary school and spend time with my family outdoors.

Milly Crossley
Cyber Risk & Assurance Specialist | Operational Resilience | IT & OT Security | Keynote Speaker | TechVets Community Volunteer

I make complex security problems legible to the people who need to act on them. That is the thread that runs through everything I have done — from operating classified systems in the Royal Navy, to leading risk and assurance activity across defence programmes. My background is not a straight line, and I do not think that is a weakness. The Royal Navy gave me discipline and decision-making under pressure. Running my own business gave me commercial instincts and accountability. In cybersecurity, I have built my career at the intersection of technical risk and human communication. I am most effective when the stakes are high, the audience is non-technical, and the job is to turn a complicated picture into a clear decision. That is what I did on a recent programme with sovereign partners and competing priorities. It is what I want to do as a consultant. I am currently exploring opportunities in GRC and cyber risk consultancy — roles where I can bring my knowledge and strong advisory skills directly to clients across sectors. If you are building a team that values people who can hold a room as well as read a risk register, I would love to talk.
