CYBER AND INFORMATION SECURITY BREAKFAST BRIEFING
Friday 26 March 2010 (08:30am - 11.30am)

Cyber attacks and E-crime have shot right back to the heart of the news agenda in 2010, with Google's rift with China, and this month's discussions around a UK Strategic Defence Review.

Now experts including our Military Chiefs warn that the era of sustained homeland cyber crime and terror battles has begun. What can your organisation do to lower your vulnerability? And what should your staff be on guard for?

To end Business Continuity Week, this event brings together some of the country's best placed speakers to outline the UK Cyber threat, government approaches, and practical counter-measures for employers to take back to the office.

Topics include:
 - Government strategy
 - Commercial espionage and data vulnerabilities
 - E-crime and organised crime a corporate perspective
 - E-crime and organised crime a police perspectives and support

*Given each presentation's content and speaker backgrounds, Cyber and Information Security Briefing is strictly in accordance with Chatham House rules.
