From Lecture Theatre to Live Threats: Cyber in the Real World
How Threat Intelligence, Threat Modelling, Privacy and Cyber GRC come together on real client engagements

Wednesday, 25 February 2026
Kingston University, London
Cybersecurity in the real world rarely follows a script. In February, Talan's Cyber Threat Services Partner, Ian Hirst, will meet and speak with students from Kingston University, offering an inside look at how cyber threat intelligence informs decisions, how threat modelling shapes secure design, and how privacy and Cyber GRC turn good security into defensible governance.
This event bridges the gap between academic learning and industry practice — expect practical examples, trade-offs, and what “good” looks like in industry.
