We had the pleasure of hosting our second annual Smarttech247 Women in Tech dinner in Dublin alongside Splunk last week and it was great to see another full house. When we started these dinners, the idea was simply to bring more women across technology, cybersecurity and business together, and it’s been really encouraging to see how much interest there is! We strongly believe that the more visible we make women in technology and cybersecurity, the more we encourage others to see the opportunities available to them. And bringing women together like this is one small, but important part of that.
What’s been particularly nice is seeing professional connections develop into friendships. That’s what makes these evenings so worthwhile.
 
A big thank you to Splunk for partnering with us again and to all the brilliant women who joined us. Really enjoyed the evening and looking forward to the next one already!

Threat actor spotlight ⚠️

Qilin has published over 2,000 victims on its leak site since 2022, more than any other ransomware group operating today. No arrests. No sanctions. No law enforcement action.

Its growth accelerated when a rival platform, RansomHub, collapsed in April 2025 and its affiliates migrated to Qilin en masse. It also runs a negotiation tactic unlike most of its peers, reframing ransom demands around regulatory and litigation risk rather than data loss alone.

In June 2024, the group encrypted pathology systems at Synnovis, a key NHS partner, disrupting blood testing and forcing hospitals to cancel operations.

Read the full report for the group's most unusual claim to date, a breach of a US federal law enforcement agency, and what its negotiation approach means for how organisations should prepare.

Operational continuity sits at the core of Stagecoach's cyber strategy. That means reducing risk, improving visibility, and responding faster.

Splunk analytics combined with our own agentic AI help surface high priority threats quickly, with the context our analysts need to respond.

Cybersecurity has a well documented skills gap. Women remain significantly under-represented in the industry.

Our Women in Cybersecurity Academy gives women a practical way in. No prior experience needed.

Six weeks, remote, taught by working analysts, threat hunters and pe*******on testers from our own SOCs. A real final project. Strong graduates may be considered for placement with us.

Five editions delivered so far, with candidates from around the world.

Cancer research and hospital care can't stop for a cyber incident. Behind the scenes, our team keeps the systems that make that care possible up and running around the clock.

Right now our work helps protect the delivery of care to over 1 million hospital patients and supports the development of 21 cancer drugs. It also underpins a breast cancer study with more than 110,000 participants and services relied on by over 12,800 people with disabilities.

None of that shows up on a dashboard. It shows up in patients who get treated, research that keeps moving, and services that stay available when they're needed most.

That's the impact of security done properly in healthcare.
