Security experts take over London

THE UK and Europe’s top security experts are travelling to London next week for InfoSecurity Europe at Earl’s Court.

Celebrating 15 years in the industry, this event is by far the biggest in the information security calendar with exhibitors from all over the world displaying their products.

But that’s not all InfoSec has to offer.

Unlike other industry events, InfoSec offers a free Education Programme.  This includes seminars, workshops and round table discussions featuring talks from some of the most influential security experts in the world.

New to this year’s line-up are the Discussion Den and Security Workshops.  The Discussion Den involves an interactive panel session debating various topics including cybercrime and mobile security.  No doubt the Caretower IT Specialists talk on Tried & Tested Methods Of Securing Funding For Your Security Projects will be popular.

The eagerly anticipated Security Workshops are proving very popular with organisers asking people to pre-register to attend.  The four themes are Data Leakage Prevention, Global Corporate Challenges, Online Security and Threats & Mitigation. 

I hope to get the opportunity to hear the keynote address by Deputy Information Commissioner David Smith, where he’ll discuss the ‘ins and outs’ of the new £500k data loss fines.

I am well aware that I may be preaching to the converted but I can’t help stressing the importance of events like InfoSec.  The exhibition is designed to educate businesses on data protection in the hope that they will return to their offices armed with the information and contacts they need to implement a security structure.

However in some cases, the very people who should be attending to learn more about protecting their reputation and their clients’ privacy are the ones who are probably careless about personal identifiable information and are likely to get hit with the wrath of the ICO.

So if you want to avoid a nasty fine, speak to the experts at InfoSec Europe…
