Channel-Sec 2025 Announces Headline Speakers and Gala Host

The highly anticipated Channel-Sec 2025 event (8th-9th May) is shaping up to be a must-attend gathering for cybersecurity professionals, MSPs, and tech leaders. This year’s speaker line-up showcases a wealth of industry expertise—alongside an iconic figure who will bring inspiration and charm to the evening celebrations.

Taking the stage during the main event, Chris Johnson, Senior Director of Cybersecurity Compliance Programmes at GTIA, will share his deep expertise on raising cybersecurity standards across the MSP ecosystem. A former MSP and MSSP himself, Johnson now leads the global rollout of the GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark, helping solution providers enhance compliance and better protect their clients.

Joining him is Detective Inspector Chris White, Head of Cyber and Innovation at the South East Cyber Resilience Centre. With a rich background in both policing and technology, White brings unique frontline insight into the evolving world of cybercrime. He has been instrumental in delivering the National Cyber Security Strategy and works closely with businesses to strengthen resilience, support incident response, and reduce risk through education and innovation.

Rounding off the day’s insights with a dose of inspiration, Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards will host the evening gala dinner. Beloved for his underdog journey to the 1988 Winter Olympics, Eddie is now a celebrated motivational speaker and media personality. His heart-warming story of resilience and determination promises to set the tone for a memorable evening of networking, celebration, and community spirit.

Channel-Sec 2025 promises a full day of education, connection, and celebration for the UK’s channel and cybersecurity communities. Registration for this channel-only, overnight event is still open. More details are available at www.Channel-Sec.com.
