Driving Cybersecurity conversations into a new decade

Our regular chairman, David Bicknell, welcomes all delegates, sponsors, and speakers to our conference and sets out the day’s agenda.

Paul McKay, Senior Analyst – Security and Risk at Forrester takes a look at Cybersecurity across the public sector from the outside in, comparing it with activity across the private sector and suggesting potential focuses and areas of concern for the years ahead.

A look at all of the various aspects of modern cybercrime and government. What parts of government are most at risk? As we build better and more omni-channel government services does the risk profile change? How can government use resources best to fit the ever-changing needs of the cybersecurity landscape?

The management of cybersecurity threats is a costly game. It requires specialist personnel and specialist tools. Is the use of a third-party service in the form of a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) the way forward for government? What are the impediments to the use of an MSSP? Can an MSSP bridge the skills gap in government?

In this short but informative session Oliver Cronk the Chief Architect, EMEA at Tanium will talk about why a unified approach to endpoint management and security are critical. The 3 Ps of People, Process and Platform – are key to rethinking security during challenging times but also to prepare for the continued digital transformation and cost challenges that lie ahead.

Intezer Analyze automates some of the most advanced assignments government agencies face today, including malware classification and attribution, memory analysis, and reverse engineering.
