Cyber – Back to basics: State of the Nation

We have recently partnered with cyber security experts Dysart Solutions to enhance our existing risk, intelligence and security offerings – read more about our cyber security service.

In this briefing, the team of cyber security experts will deliver a ‘State of the Nation’ assessment on the current cyber threat landscape giving insight into cyber crisis and the effective management of cyber operations. A case study on ‘managing the Olympics’ will help put things into context for those new to this field.

There will then be an opportunity for Q&A with access to all speakers including three cyber experts.

We hope you can join us to discuss these issues. If you are unable to attend in person, we will also broadcast the briefing as a live webinar. Preference will be given to Risk Advisory clients.

Registration for this event is now closed.
