Cyber security and AI company Arctic Wolf has been named as headline sponsor of the East Midlands Cyber Summit 2027.

The partnership with East Midlands Cyber Security Cluster (EMCSC) supports the return of the regional cyber resilience event, which will take place on Tuesday 23 February 2027.

The second Summit will bring together business leaders, cyber security professionals, educators, public-sector stakeholders and organisations for a day of practical learning, insight and knowledge exchange at The Venue @ DMU, Western Boulevard, Leicester.

Headline sponsorship

Arctic Wolf’s headline sponsorship follows early interest in the 2027 event. The Summit comes 12 months after the inaugural event was sold out and 58% oversubscribed.

Arctic Wolf provides security operations services. It helps organisations monitor for threats, investigate alerts, respond to incidents and improve their overall cyber-risk management. Its offering combines a cloud-based technology platform with 24/7 security expertise and guidance from specialist teams.

Many organisations don’t have the in-house capacity to watch their systems around the clock, decide which alerts are serious, or coordinate an effective response when something goes wrong.

Arctic Wolf aims to provide that operational support. It collects and analyses security information from across an organisation’s technology environment, uses AI and automated tools to identify potential issues, and combines this with human security analysts who help customers prioritise and respond.

Dr Ismini Vasileiou, founder of the East Midlands Cyber Summit and founder and director of EMCSC, said: “Having Arctic Wolf as headline sponsor of the East Midlands Cyber Summit 2027 is a fantastic endorsement of the event and its purpose. 

“Their support reflects the growing importance of cyber resilience for organisations of every size, and the value of bringing businesses, cyber specialists, educators and public-sector partners together to share knowledge and take practical action.

“The rapid interest in the event reflects the growing recognition that cyber resilience is a business priority.

“Having Arctic Wolf’s support will help us build on the success of our first Summit and continue creating a space where businesses, specialists, educators and public-sector partners can share knowledge, build connections and take practical action.

“Our aim is to make cyber resilience more accessible for organisations across the East Midlands. The Summit is about giving people useful insight, trusted signposting and the confidence to take the next appropriate step for their organisation.”

Clare Loveridge, Arctic Wolf’s Vice President and General Manager of EMEA said: “We’re excited to sponsor the EAST midlands Cyber summit because regional collaboration is where real cyber progress happens. 

“We believe cyber security works best when teams across industries connect and support one another. We’re committed to helping the East Midlands thrive by making cyber resilience accessible and actionable for every organisation in the region.”

East Midlands Cyber Summit is designed to help organisations understand and act on cyber risk in a practical and proportionate way.

It focuses on the issues that matter to businesses of different sizes, including business continuity, cyber risk, leadership responsibility, workforce skills, supply-chain security and incident preparedness.

The 2027 event will build on the conversations and learning generated by the first Summit, helping organisations move from awareness of cyber risk towards realistic action within their own operations.
