Using, managing and storing customer data effectively is paramount to all modern technology companies. Not only does strong data management help to build trust amongst consumers in terms of privacy and security, data is increasingly being used by companies to develop solutions that protect their customers from broader online harms.
In this session, our panellists will discuss how we can make tech roles more accessible, women’s health & wellbeing (including the menopause and how it can affect women at work), how we can get people excited about tech, and working with local schools and students.
In this session, our panellists will discuss a number of topics including connectivity and infrastructure, innovation, space and satellites, integration and opportunities for us as a region. They will also talk about how we can work together as a community to promote the region as a centre of excellence.
With the cost of living increasing and people navigating a post-covid world, and other uncertainties in business, there is a potential that we, the security function, could see a surge in risky behaviours that would be detrimental to the security of the organisations we serve. When people are under stress, mistakes happen, and people take short cuts, which leads to them becoming one of the hardest advisories to build resilience against – insider threats. In this session I will discuss how exciting research using Glassdoor for OSINT purposes can be applied to help you predict if your organisation is likely to engage in risky cyber activities, how to embrace grey area thinking to illuminate your blindspots, and how the tools and methodologies of anthropology can give us a strong foundation to build antho-centric security cultures within your organisation that will enable you to be proactive, not reactive to insider threats.
In this session, our panellists will discuss Chat GPT and security, developing technology, regulations and privacy, challenges and opportunities, and what the next 5 years looks like for AI.
