DSET 2025 Expands Focus with New Cyber Conference

DSET 2025 is celebrating its 10th anniversary with the launch of the British Army Cyber and Security Conference. The British Army Cyber and Security Conference is a dedicated event running alongside the main conference to tackle the ever-evolving threats in cyber warfare, digital, physical, and personal security. This addition will offer new insights, expert panels, and collaborative discussions designed to strengthen the security and protection of Army people, information, and assets.

The conference will culminate in an exclusive Cyber and Security Awards Dinner, recognising excellence and innovation within the cyber and security community.

"The British Army Cyber and Security Conference at DSET 2025 is a crucial step forward in addressing the evolving challenges of modern warfare," said Kristina Evans, Chief Security Officer for the British Army. "As cyber threats become more sophisticated, we must maintain advantage by fostering collaboration, innovation, and continuing to develop our skill and expertise across the Defence community. Our physical and personal security challenges are equal to that in the cyber arena and this event will serve as a vital platform to equip us with the knowledge and partnerships needed to safeguard our future."

Beyond the annual event, DSET is now a 365-day working community. The newly opened Serious Games, Simulation, and Wargaming Studio (The Studio) in Salisbury, UK serves as a dedicated centre for training, education, and research. The Studio provides an immersive space for collaboration, supporting organisations such as Varjo, Valkyrie Technologies, First Coding, ETSA, Fight Club International, and Women in Security, Defence, and Medicine.

Additionally, DSET continues to pioneer education with the return of the Analysis, Modelling and Simulation Course, and the launch of the Wargaming Essentials CPD course in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University. From entry-level to foundation degree qualifications, DSET is committed to fostering #NextGen talent, with opportunities available for students as young as 12.

As DSET marks its 10th anniversary, this milestone event will be the largest and most dynamic yet. DSET 2025 will address these urgent priorities, bringing together over 2,000 international professionals from Defence, Government, Academia, and Industry.
