Leveraging Federated Machine Learning to Improve Intrusion Detection in Internet of Things

The rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has significantly increased network attacks and cyber threats, necessitating robust and efficient Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Traditional IDS approaches often struggle with the unique challenges posed by IoT environments, such as data privacy concerns, device heterogeneity, and limited computational resources. This talk will focus on the innovative use of Federated Machine Learning (FML) to enhance intrusion detection in IoT environments. FML mitigates data privacy risks while maintaining the ability to learn from a diverse range of data sources using decentralised model training approach. Highlighting the potential of FML as a solution to strengthen IDS effectiveness against evolving cyber threats, along with other real-world applications in IoT networks.

SSEN Low carbon Technologies

The distribution electricity networks in Berkshire are owned and maintained by SSEN. This presentation is to discuss how Low Carbon Technologies (LCTs) such as renewable generation and BESS are connected into SSEN distribution electricity networks and the challenges it is facing. And to briefly introduce SSEN's efforts to release the capacity of the local distribution networks in Berkshire to help accelerate the LCT connections in the area to help reach the net-zero future.

British Large Light Cruisers - Barrow-in-Furness

During the 1930s, with the London Naval Treaty of 1930 placing limitations on heavy cruiser warship construction and characteristics, the US, Japanese and British navies attempted to circumvent the restrictions on heavy cruiser construction by building light cruisers (vessels with an armament no heavier than 6.1in / 155mm) of similar size and fighting power to conventional heavy cruisers with 8in artillery. In Britain, this resulted first in the 10 Town class vessels, and latterly the reduced Fiji (aka Crown Colony) and Minotaur classes, built to fulfill the obligations of the Second London Naval Treaty of 1936.

National Energy System Operator Viewing Gallery

The National Energy System Operator (NESO), known as ESO before, is making sure that Great Britain has the essential energy it needs by ensuring supply meets demand every second of every day. From hospitals to households, telecoms to transportation, our society relies on electricity. NESO control centre makes sure there is always a reliable and safe supply as we move megawatts around the country. You will have the opportunity to visit the heart of the GB electricity power system and ask any questions to the system control expertise during the visit.
