Infosec show: day two

by Mark Rowe

Privacy versus security: the tension between national security, privacy and information security is the title of the talk at Infosecurity Europe today by former Foreign Secretary William Hague, now Lord Hague. He will ask, how do we achieve information security, national security and personal privacy, and to what extent should intelligence agencies and government have the right to access personal data in the interests of national security?

Also on the Keynote stage at London Olympia on the second day of the three-day infosec event, is the final of the UK’s Most Innovative Small Cyber Security Company of the Year; judges from C5 Capital, IBM and Microsoft announce which of the 11 challengers exhibiting in the UK Cyber Innovation Zone will take the prize.

15:30-16:30: (Information Security Exchange) The Impact of EU Legislation on Cyber Security in the UK
As cyber threats increasingly impact society and economies, government regulation is evolving to reflect this risk and drive confidence in digital space. The EU recently took a huge step forward in strengthening its digital space. This legislation will have significant influence on EU Member States and businesses as they grapple with new requirements on data protection, cybersecurity and resilience capabilities to align with these mandates. Join our panel of experts, including Greg Day, VP and Chief Security Officer, EMEA at Palo Alto Networks, as we discuss the impact of this upcoming EU legislation on UK organisations.

17:00: (Pillar Hall) The European Security Blogger Awards; ceremony conducted by Infosecurity Europe Hall of Fame inductee, Brian Honan.
