Bletchley Park, Milton Keynes  – Digital Origin Solutions and Franklins Solicitors LLP, both proud members of the Chamber of Commerce, recently joined forces to host a cyber security event at the historic Bletchley Park. The event brought together local business leaders and IT professionals to tackle one of the most pressing challenges facing SMEs today: cyber resilience.

This collaboration exemplifies the strength of the Chamber network, creating opportunities for businesses to share expertise, build relationships and deliver real value to the wider community. By pooling knowledge and resources, members can help each other navigate complex issues like cybercrime, which increasingly impacts organisations of all sizes.

Why Partnership Matters

Events like this demonstrate how Chamber membership goes beyond networking. It’s about mutual benefit, sharing insights, supporting growth and strengthening the local business ecosystem. For Digital Origin and Franklins, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping businesses future-proof their operations and protect their people.

Highlights from the Event

The day featured expert-led sessions, including a presentation from fellow Chambers member, Fortis Cyber Security on ethical hacking, mobile security, email protection and business continuity planning. Key takeaways included:

• Be politely paranoid – question everything.
• Make security easy – biometrics and user-friendly policies drive adoption.
• Focus on the big pieces first – patching, MFA, and foundational practices.
• Face-to-face training beats e-learning – it resonates and sticks.

The overarching theme? People are where cyber attacks start. Train and empower them.
