I found the event to be nothing short of outstanding. In my view 3CDSE has very quickly become a ‘must exhibit’ show for 2020.

David Lever
UK Sales & Marketing Manager, Qioptiq
One of the best events I have ever been to in over 20 years - highly targeted, the stand was stacked with people, an excellent event in terms of the level of interest, discussion and post-event follow up.

Paul Donoughue
Exsel Group
A niche event that provides MOD, DE&S and Industry SME engagement for specialist communities that is not replicated elsewhere.

MOD
A great event that is getting bigger and better every year. A really useful opportunity for those in the Defence and Security Sector to exhibit, network and do business.

Axiom International
Fortinet were delighted to be sponsors at the successful 3CDSE 2021 which sets a new industry event standard for combining technology innovation, industry collaboration and MOD staff engagement.

Chris Parker, MBE
Director, Fortinet
We had a brilliant day and made some fantastic contacts. We were really pleased with how many of the exhibitors and attendees wanted to speak with us and take away some of our Cyber Protect messaging.
