Nineteen Group, organisers of International Cyber Expo, have announced the speaker line-up for its annual Global Cyber Summit sponsored this year by Snyk, and hosted at Olympia London on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 27 and 28. Introduced by former CEO of the UK official National Cyber Security Council (NCSC), Ciaran Martin, pictured, the Summit offers roundtable discussions, fireside chats and presentations.
The themes include cyber warfare, ransomware, and the legal landscape around data privacy, building diversity into one’s business culture, and the questions raised by emerging technologies such as the metaverse, blockchain and quantum computing. Having introduced the summit, Ciaran Martin will on day one be accompanied on stage by:
Dr Victoria Baines, British Computer Society Fellow and former Trust and Safety Manager for Facebook EMEA, who will speak about online trust and safety in the age of surveillance as well as touch upon the politics of security, more generally;
Charlie Morrison, Head of the Cyber Griffin team – a programme which makes up one arm of the City of London Police’s Cyber Crime Unit – who will go over intelligence and trends observed within the Square Mile;
Christine Bejerasco, Chief Technology Officer at With Secure who will explore the agility of threat actors and the width of the attack surface; and an outcome-based approach to cybersecurity.
Lisa Forte’s Respect in Security Team will be taking to the stage for a panel discussion with TEDx speaker, Marilise de Villiers, Founder and CEO – ROAR, amongst others, and will be exploring how far the industry has come in embracing diversity, but within the context of the Respect in Security campaign. Jitender Arora, CISO at Deloitte, will be joining in the conversation.
On day two invited are:
Rob Shapland, ethical hacker and head of Cyber Innovation at Falanx Cyber, on how cybercriminals design, plan and maximise the success of their attacks in an effort to steal Covid vaccines.
Like all government agencies and in particular, with the National Cyber Security Centre being part of Government Communications HQ (GCHQ), anonymity is part of the game. However, the NCSC has confirmed a senior director to give real insights as to how they are keeping industry and the public safe from growing cyber threats and will be answering questions as to how to best use their services.
Scott Wilcox, CEO of Sicuro will be giving insights from a Dubai and Middle East perspective where he is based, examining why security departments are unprepared for persistent threats and more. What will be clear are the similarities that transcend international borders.
All sessions will be ranked according to technicality, allowing attendees – be they non-technical or highly-technical – to find discussions best suited to them.
