Security for Senior Leaders Speaker Line-up

Paul Ducklin, Sophos: Cybercrime – Why We’re Not Doomed After All

When it comes to cybercrime, it’s easy to think we’re stuck on a slippery slope, headed inexorably downwards on the path to perdition. Google coded malware-friendly bugs into Android; Apple stored your passwords as your password hints (some hint!); Yahoo lost data on one billion accounts, then realised it was probably *three* billion; ransomware keeps jumping up and punching businesses of all sizes squarely in the face, and then demanding money to go away.

Are we all doomed? Paul Ducklin doesn’t think so – and he’s raring to pass on his optimism. Of course, there are a few things we all need to do to help out along the way… so he’ll tell you what those are too.

Claira Miles, C5 Alliance: Cybersecurity: the Holistic Approach

Having recently been awarded the MBA in Cyber Security with Distinction from Coventry University, one of the first cohorts of professionals to gain this qualification; and as a qualified GDPR practitioner, Claira’s insights are not to be missed.

Gus Fraser, C5 Alliance: Cyber Security on the Board Agenda

As Group Chief Technology Officer for C5 Alliance, Gus leads the strategic technical direction for the company and for our clients. Utilising his experience, Gus’ talk will address the imbalance of cybersecurity knowledge at board level and empower attendees to consider ways in which they can engage with cybersecurity practices to derisk their businesses and future proof their strategy. A real must for C-level executives.

Ken Munro, PenTestPartners

Ken is a respected speaker and pulls no punches during his annual Tech Talk presentations at Infosecurity Europe, where he can also be found performing practical hack attacks on the company stand. This session is one you shouldn’t miss – an accessible and fun talk on how the IoT and its devices can be weaponised, subverted and abused, using real-life examples. From toys that spy, to an IoT botnet that could take down the national grid.

Please register for the session you’d like to attend. There will be the capacity to pick and mix sessions on the day, although admittance will be strictly first come, first served.

Martin Anwyll, Phish Me: Cybersecurity Awareness 101: Removing the Risk of Human Error

As the security industry has continued to under invest in the human element of security, phishing has become the top attack vector for cyber criminals. Breaches continue to occur in record numbers, identification takes an exorbitantly long time, and the most preferred target is an organisation’s human assets.

In this presentation, Martin will discuss:

• Why the cybersecurity industry is broken
• How to reduce susceptibility to human-targeted attacks
• How to empower users to become human sensors to recognize and report suspected attacks
