Sasig Events

We are SASIG (the Security Awareness Special Interest Group), a subscription-free members-only networking and thought leadership forum for the cybersecurity community. Established by Martin Smith MBE, over its 21 years, we have become the leading networking community for security professionals across all industries. Our events allow our members to engage with each other and develop through our full programme of in-person and online events. SASIG provides a hugely respected and trusted environment where cybersecurity practitioners can gather, enabling candid discussions and knowledge exchange on critical cybersecurity issues. Having held 35 in-person events annually before successfully moving entirely online during Covid with a daily showcase of presentations and discussions for our membership, we have now transformed into a highly successful business model. Today, we run daily webinars, weekly in-person events and our flagship Big SASIG conference each year, each attracting 50 - 200+ delegates and emphasising personal networking. All SASIG activities are free of charge for members to attend and the level of discussion is extraordinarily revealing and rewarding. While UK-centric, our members represent many thousands of organisations from across the globe, of all sizes and covering all sectors, both public and private. These highly engaged members are not only drawn from C-Suite, including prominent CISOs, CTOs, CIOs, decision makers and influencers, but importantly also from all levels of the cybersecurity profession, law enforcement, government and academia. We are delighted that most FTSE 100 companies are represented within our membership, and we are also proud to be especially accessible to those many smaller organisations that need cybersecurity help, counsel and advice but don't have access to huge resources or budgets.
