IDC Security Roadshow 2023

The Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC) brings together cutting-edge researchers, with a broad cross-section of security professionals drawn from academia, industry, and government, gathered to present and discuss the latest security results and topics. With peer reviewed technical papers, invited talks, panels, national interest discussions, and workshops, ACSAC continues its core mission of investigating practical solutions for computer and network security technology.

The global pandemic has changed the way we all live and work and now more than ever the IT/security department has become crucial in keeping businesses growing and employees connected. One of the unexpected, positive, changes for CIOs, CISOs and senior tech executives has been the rapid shift in digital technology to ensure businesses can stay ahead of their competitors and discover new opportunities to drive business growth whilst lowering costs, as we attempt to get back to normality. You've led your team through one of the hardest periods in our global history and overcome huge obstacles for not only your IT and security department but your entire business, but all of these challenges also bring many possibilities. This is why attending this CDM Media Summit will give you the chance to engage in peer-to-peer networking, whilst discussing the issues currently affecting senior executives from a variety of key industries.

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.
