CSARN / Cyber & Information Security
MANCHESTER
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 months launch of the 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?
CSARN brings together a range of the country's best placed business and government speakers to outline the threat, Government approach, and practical counter-measures for employers to take back to the office.
Given the content of each presentation and background of speakers, CSARN's IT Attacks Briefing is strictly by invite only and accords to Chatham House rules.
