The Challenge of Tech

Rt Hon Baroness (Shami) Chakrabarti

Shami turned Liberty into an effective campaigning organisation, leading debate on civil rights from ID cards to surveillance. The Sun once dubbed her ‘the most dangerous woman in Britain.’ In presentations Shami weighs up the balance between privacy and security – for government, business and individuals. While privacy cannot be an absolute in the context of national security, as every brand is based on trust it makes sense to see it as a top priority.

Graham Cluley

Graham started work on anti-virus software 25 years ago, long before the term cybersecurity was coined. In a gripping presentation he describes the damage caused by targeted attacks - from theft of data and IP to loss of reputation. He reveals the real-world, everyday nature of many attacks, from ransomware to spear-phishing emails and the often quite mundane ways in which companies, even the likes of Google and Facebook, have lost millions through security gaps that are as likely to be human as technical.
