New cyber challenges for the public sector

*** This event is free to attend for the public sector and accredited for 5 hours CPD ***

Advances in the internet of things, big data and artificial intelligence are creating immense potential for better public services; but they all come with new risks, especially with the growing array of internet connected devices and new sources of data. Cyber attackers can find new weak points and vulnerabilities, posing a serious threat to the data integrity and operational capabilities of public authorities.

UKAuthority Cyber4Good will be asking questions about what new threats will emerge from the IoT, big data and AI, and explore the strategies for providing protection and long term resilience across the public sector.

Delegates will receive five hours of CPD accreditation from attending this event.
