From cyber resilience to smarter security conversations, here’s how PMD Data Solutions and Barracuda made an impact at one of the UK’s leading security events.
Cyber security is now a boardroom priority
With one small business in the UK reportedly falling victim to a cyberattack every 19 seconds, organisations are under more pressure than ever to strengthen their defences. That urgency was front and centre at the National Cyber Security Show 2026, where businesses gathered to explore the latest strategies, technologies and expert insights shaping the future of cyber protection.
Held at the NEC in Birmingham, the show brought together security specialists, solution providers and decision-makers all focused on one goal: building stronger, more resilient organisations in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
For visitors, it was an opportunity to discover cutting-edge cyber security solutions, see innovative technologies in action and connect directly with experts who understand the real-world challenges businesses face every day.
PMD Data Solutions and Barracuda: a powerful partnership in cyber resilience
Sharing the stand with trusted partner Barracuda Networks, the PMD team showcased how a joined-up approach to cyber security can help organisations stay protected, productive and prepared. With one of the industry’s broadest security portfolios, Barracuda brought the technology, and PMD Data Solutions brought the expertise to help visitors understand how to improve resilience, reduce risk and keep business moving when it matters most.
A standout moment: Steven Peake takes the stage
One of the highlights of the show came on day two, when Steven Peake, Solutions Architect at Barracuda, delivered a packed-session talk at the Cyber Solutions Theatre. His message was clear and compelling: by supercharging email security, organisations can dramatically cut response times from days to hours, giving security teams the speed they need to stay ahead of evolving threats.
Steven also highlighted the strength of BarracudaOne, a platform-led approach that gives organisations a broader, more connected view of their security environment, spanning email protection, Managed Detection and Response, Zero Trust Network Access, and backup with resilient recovery.
The response was immediate. Visitors left the session wanting to learn more, and many headed straight to the PMD and Barracuda stand to continue the conversation. With a high volume of follow-up requests still being worked through, it’s clear the appetite for practical, outcome-focused cyber security solutions is only growing.
What happens next?
Following the event, the PMD team is building on the momentum with targeted follow-ups, deeper technical discussions and live demonstrations already being booked. If the National Cyber Security Show proved one thing, it’s that businesses are actively looking for trusted partners who can help them turn cyber security from a challenge into a competitive strength.
