Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2020

The cyber security industry has reached a critical point. In 2021, 4 in 10 companies in the UK reported having cyber security breaches or attacks. The increasing sophistication of cyber criminals, coupled with the rapid shift to digital technologies brought about by the coronavirus pandemic, has emphasised cyber security’s importance for both individual organisations and wider society.

Attackers employ a variety of threats with the goal of deliberately infiltrating, disrupting, exposing, damaging or stealing from their intended targets. These cyberattacks come in many forms, understanding the various types of cyberthreats and how to properly defend against them is imperative for enabling secure and successful business growth. Following the success of our inaugural Practitioner MicroSummit in December we will be hosting our second event in January. Join us for an afternoon of technical insights where we will look at how the network, endpoint and cloud all provide the necessary information to effectively identify, protect, detect and respond to these threats and Unit 42 - our class-leading Threat Intelligence and consultancy services arm - will bring these data-points into line with the essential processes needed to effectively recover from an attack. Post Summit, join the team for an informal evening reception whilst admiring the best views of London on the 55th floor of our flagship London office at 22 Bishopsgate.

By bringing together the top 80 Executives in the region, we will discuss the most pressing Technology and Leadership challenges we face in an ever-evolving corporate landscape. Over the next two and a half days, we will nurture meaningful relationships and tackle the challenges inherent to IT in a smaller, more dynamic setting. You will learn from your peers through various workshops, panels, roundtables and presentations. Our closed-door policy fosters an environment where all discussions are confined within the Forum walls, enabling more genuine and engaged conversations.

Cyber crime has increased exponentially over the part couple of years. Especially since the COVID pandemic resulted in a lot of businesses adapting to new measures and employees working remotely. Cyber crime now runs as a service, with the use of Botnets, Ransomware, The Darkness and Crypto-hacking. Cyber criminals are now using new technologies to pose harm and threats to people and companies world wide.
