Topic - Automated compliance: the next generation of less headaches.

Topic Description: In today’s evolving threat landscape, organisations want to take a proactive approach against cyber attacks, and create an environment of continuous compliance. Reducing risk exposure and driving down security operations costs is becoming a growing concern for everyone. The reality is, for organisations limited by financial or human resources, information security compliance presents a challenge more complex than most. Navigating the world of information & data security has become increasingly complicated and time-consuming. This got us thinking; in this day and age, surely there has to be a better way? Wouldn't it be great to simplify the process by harnessing the power of technology? What if we could get rid of the need for manual lists, word docs and tedious box ticking exercises and replace it with a fully automated, self-service product that helps organisations to achieve cyber essentials certification within a matter of hours, instead of weeks and months?

In this talk we will explore an alternative reality in which compliance no longer equals pain and systems become self-securing.

Topic: Response to a breach

Topic Description: The data breach is a problem but is only the beginning of the fun and games. Then there is the regaultor and the notification and the news cycle and those pesky customers as well.

So how do you handle the process or at the least follow basic rules on how NOT to handle it.

There are a few simple basic rules that can help to manage the item whilst you buckle down to the nitty gritty of fixing the root causes.
