The Defence Simulation Education and Technology (DSET) 2025 is set to debut a new segment, the British Army Security and Cyber Conference, aimed at addressing the challenges of cyber warfare and security.
The new addition will run alongside DSET’s main event which is scheduled for 8 – 10 July 2025 in Bristol, UK.

It will offer a platform for expert discussions and insights into the protection of military personnel, information, and assets.
The British Army Security and Cyber Conference is part to DSET’s aim to enhance defence technology, wargaming, and cybersecurity in response to growing global threats and complex operational demands.
British Army chief security officer Kristina Evans said: “The British Army Cyber and Security Conference at DSET 2025 is a crucial step forward in addressing the evolving challenges of modern warfare. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, we must maintain advantage by fostering collaboration, innovation, and continuing to develop our skill and expertise across the Defence community.
“Our physical and personal security challenges are equal to that in the cyber arena and this event will serve as a vital platform to equip us with the knowledge and partnerships needed to safeguard our future.”
DSET, which marks its tenth anniversary this year, is a hybrid event brings together participants from the military, emergency services, and defence industries, aimed at enhancing training, cooperation, and robustness.
It claims to have evolved beyond its annual gathering to become a year-round working community.
This year, the event is expected to attract more than 2,000 international professionals from defence, government, academia, and industry. It is organised by Ruddy Nice.
The DSET 2024 conference featured Pete Morrison, chief product officer of Bohemia Interactive Simulations, who discussed how the company is adapting to the changing landscape of modern warfare.
The recent opening of the Serious Games, Simulation, and Wargaming Studio (The Studio) in Salisbury, UK, marks an advancement in defence training and research.
The Studio offers an immersive environment for collaboration and supports organisations such as ETSA, Fight Club International, First Coding, Valkyrie Technologies, Varjo, and Women in Security, Defence, and Medicine.
In addition, DSET continues to lead in educational initiatives.
The Analysis, Modelling and Simulation Course is making a return, and in partnership with Oxford Brookes University, the Wargaming Essentials CPD course is being launched.
These educational efforts are designed to further develop skills and knowledge in the defence sector.
