Nasstar: Securing the Edge: Winning Against Cyber Chaos in Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities
Discussing Points
The Threats Are Smarter—Your Security Should Be Too
Why traditional models are crumbling under the pressure of modern threats—and how Zero Trust and SASE are stepping up to protect OT and IT environments.
SASE Isn’t Just a Buzzword—It’s a Blueprint
What SASE really means in practice for MLEU, and how a unified approach can cut through complexity, vendor sprawl, and compliance challenges.
From Firefighting to Future-Proofing
How to overcome adoption hurdles—from legacy infrastructure and skills gaps to securing remote sites—and build a security strategy that’s ready for what’s next.
Securing the Edge: Winning Against Cyber Chaos in Manufacturing, Energy & Utilities
Manufacturing, energy and utilities organisations are under siege. From ransomware targeting operational technology (OT) environments to phishing campaigns exploiting supply chain vulnerabilities, the stakes have never been higher. Add hybrid workforces and cloud-first strategies into the mix, and traditional security models are stretched to breaking point.
Join us for a high-energy roundtable dinner where we will unpack how Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is helping MLEU organisations fight back. We will explore how a unified SASE approach can simplify your security stack, protect critical infrastructure, and deliver a seamless experience for both IT teams and frontline operations.
Expect real-world insights, practical takeaways, and a few laughs as we tackle the chaos head-on

About the hosts
Nasstar is a UK-based managed services provider with over 25 years of experience, employing around 780 staff, including 176 engineers. They deliver a broad range of services across cloud, data, AI, cybersecurity, secure networking, and managed IT, working with both private and public sector clients. In recent years, Nasstar has shifted focus away from legacy technologies to next-generation services, while restructuring its balance sheet to reduce net debt and streamline its portfolio. Their acquisition of KCOM’s National ICT services in 2021 expanded their scale and strengthened their presence in the public sector, followed by the launch of a dedicated channel business to better serve partners. With strong credentials in cloud and security and partnerships with major platforms like Microsoft and AWS, Nasstar is positioning itself for growth in the enterprise transformation market. However, the company faces challenges, including financial pressures, customer support concerns, and the need to manage internal change effectively following acquisitions and strategic pivots.
