Artificial Intelligence, the IOT (Internet of Things) and compliance with GDPR are among the topics for (ISC)2 – the US-based not-for-profit membership body of cyber, information, software and infrastructure security people – at their Secure Summit UK in London, on December 12 and 13.
Speakers include Paul Taylor, Partner at the audit firm KPMG and Mark Stokes, Head of Digital and Electronics Forensic Services at the Metropolitan Police.
In the wake of the attacks on Ukraine’s nuclear plants, the summit has a session examining cybersecurity in industrial control systems by Cevn Vibert, who has worked on cybersecurity projects with clients including Thames Water, Network Rail and Sellafield.
With the full force of the EU-wide general data protection regulation (GDPR) months away in May 2018, some attendees will participate in a workshop aimed at charting cybersecurity professionals’ experiences on the road to GDPR, led by David Higgins and Yves Le Roux. Other confirmed speakers include Ken Munro, Founder of Pen Test Partners Ltd, James Packer, Cybersecurity and Cloud Specialist at KPMG and Joe Hancock, Cybersecurity Lead at the law firm Mishcon de Reya. A workshop on Security Awareness, Behaviour and Culture, will cover how to educate the biggest component of cybersecurity – people.
Dr Adrian Davis, Managing Director for EMEA at (ISC)² says: “As the world’s largest body of cybersecurity professionals, we have a significant opportunity and a responsibility to bring together cross-sector, front-line cybersecurity expertise, spanning governments, multinational companies, academia and those at the forefront of law enforcement to shine a light on the very latest threats and trends within our digital economy. Our summits draw on a unique breadth of talent and experience to inform policies and help businesses and governments alike contend with the major issues of our time, while looking forward to the future. Secure Summit UK is the last of five Secure Summits, a series of two-day events hosted by (ISC)2 within the EMEA region this year. Each event features varied sessions designed to showcase a range of perspectives and levels of practice, including hands-on cyber workshops to keynotes and panels with technology industry leaders tasked with protecting banks, governments and multinationals.”
