We say it every year but InfoSec is one of our favourite exhibitions!
Starting today at Olympia, in their own words, Infosecurity Europe is – the sourcing and knowledge hub for Europe’s information and cyber security community. The event that brings information and cyber security to life.
There’s well over 400 ‘cutting edge’ exhibitors and they’re expecting 15,000+ infosec, cybersecurity and IT professionals from today until Thursday.
There’s even a Twitter hashtag to follow – #Infosec2019
Cool, But Is BBC Legend Kate Adie Going To Be There?
She is, and we’ll tell you for why. One of the fundamentals of businesses having a robust infosec policy is their ability to manage risk and to build resilience and who better to hear from the BBC’s former Chief News Correspondent.
She was on the ground (literally reporting live and unscripted from behind a car door) when the SAS stormed the Iranian Embassy in London in 1980. She was on the front line in Northern Ireland during the troubles in the 1980s. She reported on the American bombing of Tripoli in 1986 as well as the Lockerbie bombing, the Gulf War, the war in Yugoslavia, the Rwandan genocide and the war in Sierra Leone.
However her most famous assignment was to report on the protests in Tiananmen Square in China in 1989. Her crew were the only journalists in the square and documented much of what happened.
A remarkable CV aside, her presentation shares some of her experiences and she discusses how she managed risk, safety and security in dangerous situations. She gives insights into how she remained resilient in difficult situations and the inspiration she has drawn from her experiences.
At the time of writing her presentation will just have finished but it will presumably be available on YouTube or on the Infosec 2019 website. It will absolutely be worth watching.
Will There Be Free Pens and Flash Drives?
Of course there will as well as loads of other giveaway crap your kids will love but this year the exhibition is bigger and better than ever –
