In the world we live in today, a world that is internet-connected, cyber security is becoming increasingly important. More and more information is uploaded and stored online, often information that is sensitive and should be kept out of the hands of the wrong people. Every day, Hackers, digital terrorists and other cyber criminals cause severe damage to individuals, businesses and governments, damage that produces significant costs. To fight this cybercrime, people from different segments, e.g. policy makers, business leaders and IT security specialists, should work together, both nationally as internationally, to develop effective measures to fight and manage these cyber threats.
FT Cyber Security Summit
To help people from these different segments understand the latest trends in cyber security and to work together on new ideas, FT organises the Cyber Security Summit on September 3, 2014, in London. This event has the goal to develop resilient and collaborative strategies in a digital world, through the exchange of ideas and discussions. The event brings together people from different backgrounds, ranging from public sector officials, business executives and cyber security experts, to talk about current and emerging cyber threats and to discuss policies and strategies to combat these threats. Speakers at the summit also come from various backgrounds, among others, from the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), NATO, European Commission, International Cyber Security Protection Alliance, European Banking Authority (EBA), Vodafone, ING Bank and FT.
