Secure Logiq and Cortech Developments have announced a collaboration for a CPD-accredited event named Resilience by Design. This initiative aims to encourage consultants and specifiers to factor resilience into the early stages of security system design.
The event will convene at The British Library in London on 16th September and at The Lowry in Salford on 7th October, bringing together Secure Logiq's knowledge in HD surveillance server and storage solutions with Cortech Developments' expertise in intelligent security management software.
Focus on Resilience in Security Design
The event highlights that resilience should be ingrained in the project from the beginning rather than being an afterthought. The CPD session will shed light on how software, hardware, and infrastructure decisions affect the enduring availability and reliability of security systems. It will also emphasize the importance of enhanced cooperation among manufacturers, integrators, consultants, and specifiers to achieve optimal results.
Key discussion areas will include failover and redundancy strategies, continuity planning, cybersecurity measures, infrastructure design, and risk assessment across various project phases. Ben Yoxall, Managing Director of Secure Logiq, expressed that resilience isn't merely a single product or feature to be appended later. Instead, it's about understanding system interactions and making informed decisions early on.
Comprehensive Sessions and Networking
Participants can choose from morning or afternoon sessions identical in content
Participants can choose from morning or afternoon sessions identical in content. Besides the main presentation, there will be introductory talks by Secure Logiq and Cortech Developments, an open Q&A session, and networking opportunities with industry professionals.
Nicole Davies, Marketing Manager at Cortech Developments, stressed the importance of combining expertise from various domains—software, hardware, and infrastructure—for building resilient security systems.
Outcome and Opportunities
The Resilience by Design CPD will provide attendees with practical insights and foster discussions among peers facing similar challenges. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of failover and redundancy, the role of secure infrastructure in cybersecurity strategies, and approaches to risk management throughout the system's lifecycle.
The Southern event is set for Wednesday, 16 September 2026, at The British Library, London, while the Northern event will be held on Wednesday, 7 October 2026, at The Lowry, Salford. Both events offer free admission and CPD accreditation tailored to consultant and specifier needs.
Secure Logiq and Cortech Developments are joining forces for Resilience by Design, a new CPD-accredited event designed to get consultants and specifiers thinking about resilience from the very beginning of the security system design process.
Taking place at The British Library in London on 16th September and The Lowry in Salford on 7th October, the sessions will bring together Secure Logiq’s expertise in server and storage technology for HD surveillance with Cortech Developments’ intelligent security management software experience.
Operational stages of a project
The central message is simple: resilience is not something that can be added at the end of a project. Instead, the CPD will examine how decisions made across software, hardware and infrastructure all contribute to the long-term availability and continuity of a security system and why greater collaboration between manufacturers, integrators, consultants and specifiers can lead to better outcomes.
Topics will include failover and redundancy, continuity planning, cybersecurity, infrastructure design and assessing risk throughout the design, deployment and operational stages of a project.
Collection of individual technologies
“Resilience is one of those words that gets used a lot, but the important question is what it actually looks like when you start designing a system,” says Ben Yoxall, Managing Director of Secure Logiq. “It isn’t one product, feature or box you can bolt on at the end. It comes from understanding how every layer of the system interacts and making the right decisions early enough for them to make a difference.”
“That is really what these sessions are about. We want to get people talking about resilience at the design and specification stage and looking at the infrastructure as a complete system, rather than a collection of individual technologies.”
Resilient security systems
Each event will offer identical morning and afternoon sessions, giving delegates the option to attend at a time that best suits them. Alongside the main Resilience by Design CPD presentation, attendees will hear introductions from both Secure Logiq and Cortech Developments, take part in an open Q&A and have the opportunity to network with other consultants, specifiers and industry professionals.
Nicole Davies, Marketing Manager at Cortech Developments, adds: “There is a real benefit in bringing different areas of expertise into the same conversation. Software, hardware and infrastructure all have a part to play in creating resilient security systems, so it makes sense for us to look at those challenges together."
Role of secure infrastructure
“We want delegates to leave with useful ideas they can take into their own projects, but also with the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and have conversations with other people facing many of the same design challenges.”
By the end of the CPD, attendees will have explored resilience as a wider lifecycle principle, identified key failover and redundancy approaches, considered the role of secure infrastructure within cybersecurity strategy and examined how risks to continuity can be addressed throughout a system’s lifetime.
The Southern Event takes place on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London, NW1 2DB. The Northern Event follows on Wednesday 7 October 2026 at The Lowry, Pier 8, The Quays, Salford, M50 3AZ. Both events are free to attend and provide CPD accreditation aligned with consultant and specifier requirements.
