SUMMARY:IoTSF Webinar: "Beyond CRA Compliance" and "From THx Links to Tiny Sensors"
DESCRIPTION:With Olcay Sevim (CyberWhiz) – ‘Beyond CRA Compliance: Building Product Security\, Organizational Readiness and Audit Evidence for the Cyber Resilience Act’ and Carlo Ottaviani (University of York) – ‘From THz Links to Tiny Sensors: Practical QKD Across Frequencies and Hybrid PQC-QKD Architectures’. \nTalk 1: \nThis talk explores how manufacturers can move beyond understanding the CRA to implementing a practical\, auditable compliance programme. It covers risk assessment across the full product ecosystem\, organisational readiness\, vulnerability management\, governance\, supplier management and evidence collection\, with practical guidance on preparing for conformity assessments and building sustainable compliance. \nTalk 2: \nThis talk examines advances in quantum-safe communications\, including extending quantum key distribution (QKD) to terahertz and microwave frequencies for future wireless networks\, enabling QKD on resource-constrained IoT devices\, and combining QKD with post-quantum cryptography. It highlights practical implementations that improve security while significantly reducing communication overhead on constrained hardware.

SUMMARY:AESIN Webinar: How to cut the cost of continuous cyber compliance
DESCRIPTION:Protecting automotive manufacturing and supply chains from cyber threats is a serious issue\, but the financial viability of maintaining continuous cyber compliance over a vehicle operational lifetime seems almost out of reach.\nVulnerabilities in vehicle systems connected everywhere\, all the time\, are a serious and escalating concern for authorities\, regulators\, and operators as well as industry. \nHow can the continued safety of\, and frequent updates to\, vehicles dependent on complex software be achieved at a cost that anyone can afford? \nLearning from past Connected and Automated Mobility projects\, the SecureTCU team has demonstrated a solution that provides real-time in-vehicle detection and reporting of security events to a VSOC\, rapid identification and Security Incident Response\, and OTA Updates that substantially reduces the time to mitigate issues\, potentially eliminating the need for vehicle recalls. \nTight integration of this cyber defence capability with ISO26262 safety & ISO 21434 security databases allows real-time documentary evidence. This AESIN Tech Talk will outline how suppliers and manufacturers and operators can cut the cost of continuous cyber compliance. \nJohn McNicol\, CEO\, Nova Modus \nOriginally a semiconductor guy\, John has been working in Connected and Automated Mobility since 2014 with self-driving shuttles\, urban delivery vehicles\, and passenger bus services. \nAs technologies have advanced and regulations matured\, focus has shifted to include support for operating autonomous vehicles. \nJohn authored BSI Flex 1886 teleoperation standard for highly-automated vehicles and the co-wrote BSI Flex 1888 standard for what self-driving vehicles should do “when things go wrong”. \nIn recent times\, John has looked after research and development of cyber security solutions for automotive applications\, both on-board and cloud-based.

SUMMARY:Women in TechWorks: From Qubits to Confidence - Verifying Quantum Error Correction
DESCRIPTION:With Rojalin Mishra\, Lead Verification Engineer (Riverlane)\nThis talk explores the engineering realities behind quantum computing\, focusing on the role of hardware verification in building reliable quantum systems. Drawing on experience as a lead verification engineer working on FPGA-based quantum error correction systems\, the speaker shares both personal career insights and the technical challenges involved in developing hardware at the frontier of emerging technology. \nThe session begins with a reflection on the speaker’s journey into hardware verification\, highlighting the importance of persistence\, analytical thinking\, and systematic problem-solving in a highly specialised field. It also examines the challenge of communicating verification work to wider teams\, and the need for collaboration across multiple engineering disciplines in quantum hardware development. \nA central theme is the demystification of quantum error correction. Through practical analogies and examples\, attendees will learn why qubits are fragile\, how errors accumulate\, and how engineers design and verify systems to maintain reliability. The talk demonstrates how abstract quantum physics becomes practical engineering through FPGA-based implementations\, error-detection circuits\, and rigorous testing methodologies. \nUsing real debugging stories from high-stakes projects\, the presentation also shows how verification provides a broader framework for structured problem-solving across engineering domains. Attendees will gain practical insights into quantum hardware\, verification engineering\, and the mindset required to innovate effectively in advanced technology sectors. \nBiography \nI am an Electronics and Communications engineer with over a decade of experience in ASIC verification\, specializing in complex digital systems and verification methodologies. I currently serve as a Lead Verification Engineer\, driving FPGA-based verification for Quantum Error Correction within the rapidly evolving field of Quantum Computing.

SUMMARY:Women in TechWorks: From Engineer to Leader: Building Diverse Teams That Deliver
DESCRIPTION:With Vicky Larmour\, SVP Engineering at Plextek\nWhat does it actually take to move from the software engineering coal face to leading a team of people delivering complex multi-disciplinary technology projects? In this talk\, Vicky Larmour draws on 30 years in engineering\, from hands-on software development to her role as Senior Vice President of Engineering at Plextek\, to give a candid account of that transition. She looks at the mindset shifts involved\, the mistakes she made along the way\, and what she’s learned about building teams that are both diverse and genuinely high-performing. \nVicky explores the tangible benefits diversity brings to innovation and problem-solving\, reflecting on a moment where looking at a problem in a different way allowed the team to break through an impasse; alongside actionable strategies – which can be as simple as making a genuine effort to demonstrate allyship to minority groups – for fostering inclusive team cultures where individuals can thrive. She also discusses approaches to inclusive hiring\, covering everything from reducing bias in recruitment processes to creating environments that attract and retain a broader range of talent. \nThis session offers valuable insights for engineers considering leadership paths\, as well as for current managers aiming to build stronger\, more inclusive teams. Expect honest reflection\, practical takeaways\, and a few things Vicky wishes someone had told her 20 years ago! \nBiography \nVicky Larmour is Senior Vice President of Engineering at Plextek\, leading a multidisciplinary team of RF\, radar\, AI/ML\, electronics and software engineers. \nWith 30 years in technology consultancy in the Cambridge cluster\, she’s led teams of 250+ across three continents\, delivering projects to unlock value for clients ranging from banks to medical device startups to global satellite operators; developed software for consumer goods\, medical devices\, and LEO satellite systems; and held technical leadership roles spanning embedded systems\, RF design\, and short- and long-range wireless communications. \nA Cambridge Computer Science graduate who initially entered the field through a STEM programme for girls\, Vicky remains committed to STEM outreach\, creating pathways for the next generation – particularly young women – into engineering and technology. She mentors women across the industry and is focused on building a team culture at Plextek where people from different backgrounds feel welcomed and supported.
