Insights on Cybersecurity
Stephen Cook, Sales Director at Espria, emphasized the transformative journey toward 2026 in the cybersecurity landscape, where the complexity and scale of cyber threats are growing.
According to Cook, businesses adopting intelligent monitoring and integrated defenses will be better equipped to face future challenges. In the environment, customer trust hinges on data security, especially as AI technology enhances both operational capabilities and the sophistication of cyberattacks.
Focus on Cybersecurity Partnerships
The necessity of a consistent duty to sound cyber hygiene and defense practices that align seamlessly
"Espria has always prioritized our cybersecurity alliance partnerships as a critical solution for today’s security landscape, especially with the proliferation of AI-boosted attacks, which is why bringing experts, such as Microsoft and Sophos to the table is a key part of building a lasting strategy for SMEs from our previous Optimise events," said Stephen Cook.
He underlined the necessity of a consistent commitment to sound cyber hygiene and defense practices that align seamlessly with existing business operations.
Strategic Technology Integration
Stephen Cook further stated: "Our mission is to lead the conversation for enterprises of all sizes to navigate their modern technology needs, ensuring that AI tools and other technologies offer a strategic boost without compromising operations or expanding attack surfaces."
He stressed the importance of educating customers about endpoint security and the need for businesses with limited cyber expertise to seek guidance for bolstering network security.
Comprehensive Security Solutions
"Thankfully, we can provide those skills and, in this instance, the forum for expert minds to collaborate, providing those all-comprehensive security strategies needed to tackle the cyber threats of today and tomorrow," concluded Stephen Cook, highlighting the event as an opportunity to empower businesses through shared expertise and collaborative security strategies.

Digital workplace solutions and managed services pioneer Espria returns in December with another Optimise IT exhibition, pioneering the discussion on how IT solutions can best work together to provide the ultimate support for businesses and end-user experience.
Post-COVID, Espria hosted a series of Optimise IT webinar discussions, covering themes such as business peace of mind, business readiness and AI integrations for workplace teams. These discussions have featured key spokespeople from some of their pioneering IT solutions partners and provided industry pioneers with a platform to network directly with key decision-makers who are looking for increasingly efficient ways to deliver their IT strategy.
Event feature representatives
This year’s in-person event will feature representatives from premier vendor partners Gamma, Microsoft (hardware and software), Sophos and Omada by TP-Link, with more vendors to be confirmed. Marketing and Business Strategist, Bryony Thomas, will be giving a keynote speech during the lunch, sharing lessons in preparation, prioritization and attention to detail and how missing these can be catastrophic.
The event will be held from 9 am to 2 pm on 3rd December at the Down Hall Hotel, Matching Lane, Hatfield Heath, Bishop’s Stortford. Attendance is free but subject to prior registration on the Espria website.
Cybersecurity alliance partnerships
Stephen Cook, Sales Director at Espria, commented, “Turning to 2026, cybersecurity has entered a transformative phase, with the cyberthreat landscape accelerating in complexity and scale. Businesses that adopt intelligent monitoring and integrated, adaptive defense strategies will be best positioned to navigate 2026 with confidence.”
“Similarly, customer trust is entirely defined by uncompromising data security in today’s environment. Where AI has been rapidly adopted into operations, it has simultaneously amplified the quantity and quality of cyberattacks, creating this paradox for security."
"Espria has always prioritized our cybersecurity alliance partnerships as a critical solution for today’s security landscape, especially with the proliferation of AI-boosted attacks, which is why bringing experts such as Micrsoft and Sophos to the table is a key part of building a lasting strategy for SMEs from our previous Optimise events.”
Commitment to cyber hygiene and defense practices
Cook added: “Peace of mind with data security has always been a part of this and requires a continuous commitment to cyber hygiene and defense practices from experts and clients alike. It’s not just about the most high-technology solutions, but the ones that work best within businesses and align with existing operations seamlessly."
"Our mission is to lead the conversation for enterprises of all sizes to navigate their modern technology needs, and that ensures any technology introduced, particularly AI tools, provides a strategic boost without hindering operations or opening up wider attack surfaces."
Comprehensive security strategies
Cook concludes, “Educating our customer businesses who may be neglecting their endpoint security is an essential way to show security support. We’ve seen that customers, particularly smaller businesses with limited cyber skills or expert access, need that guidance when it comes to network security."
"Thankfully, we can provide those skills and in this instance the forum for expert minds to collaborate, providing those all-comprehensive security strategies needed to tackle the cyber threats of today and tomorrow.”
