Within the afternoon session you will hear from:Holly Grace Williams, Founder and Technical Lead - Akimbo Core. Holly will discuss Cyber Security - How I Hack Companies. She has over fifteen years’ experience in breaking into the computer systems of major companies. In this session she’ll share some funny stories of breaking into computers and buildings. Plus, some lessons learned on how companies can keep their data safe. It’s not all about passwords, software patches, and perimeters. This session should be useful to the geeks and techies looking to see another professional’s opinions on how companies can more effectively secure their systems – but for less techie audience members it will also be an interesting look behind the curtain on how real-world cyber-attacks actually take place and why some companies seem so ill prepared for themThe afternoon session will also include presentations from The LGA Digital Construction Lead and James Butcher Director of Policy for the NFB.Breakfast and a buffet lunch included in the ticket cost as well as refreshments throughout the day
