Gef’s Daily Roundup
Monday was very Monday today
Hacking Through
Learn about human hacking, the threat to our national security, how to love security and why paying doesn’t pay with ransomware at this year’s CyberIsle. Preparations are well underway for the event on October 19, as guest speakers and sponsors are added to the line-up.
Industry experts and contributors will be covering case studies, practical tools and insights to promote the importance of cyber-security and cyber forensics and the Deputy Director of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), part of GCHQ, Eleanor Fairford, will be giving a cyber-security threat update.
Other panels and presentations will look at the cyber skills gap, cyber forensics and insurance. The topics chosen for CyberIsle 2022 aim to help Manx businesses, institutions and the general public better understand cyber-crime, build resilience and highlight its impact on users at home, at work and in the community.
CyberIsle 2022 will take place on Wednesday October 19 at the Comis Golf Club in Santon. The event will run from 9am to 4.30pm with opportunities for networking and Continuing Professional Development throughout the day. The event is free to attend, and registrations can be made online.
