The Forum

A UK-focused discussion on how public sector organisations are modernising access control within real-world constraints. Panelists will share lessons learned from education, healthcare, and local government deployments, highlighting how innovation and resilience can coexist.

• Public sector procurement in the UK is its own discipline. Framework agreements, budget cycles, risk aversion baked into the process. What is the single biggest structural change that would allow better security outcomes in that environment?
• Healthcare, education, and local government all have different threat profiles, different user populations, and different political constraints. Where do you see genuine innovation happening right now despite those constraints?
• The public sector holds some of the most sensitive access environments in the country. What is keeping those institutions from modernising at the pace the risk environment demands?
