Ireland’s second annual cyber security conference, Dublin Information Sec 2017, will take place this year on Wednesday November 1st 2017 in the RDS, Dublin. The event aims to highlight cyber security trends and threats facing business in Ireland and the technologies to protect against them.
Specialists in the industry will update businesses on the issues of data security, ransomware, attacks within the Internet of Things (IoT) and the human factor in data breaches, looking at these areas in the context of the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). A panel of experts is in place to map out the threat landscape confronting businesses and guide through best practices to reduce risk and protect systems against infections and breaches.
Topics including machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), cloud technology and cloud security will also be explored at the cyber security conference. The event is sponsored by eir Business and will be chaired by Adrian Weckler, Technology Editor INM.

· Joseph Carson, Cyber Security Strategist at Thycotic

Commenting on the event, Technology Editor at INM, Adrian Weckler said, "While 2017 set new records for cyber security issues, 2018 looks likely to be an even greater challenge. Regulatory issues such as GDPR will have a huge impact on how companies can be punished for not responding correctly to security breaches, while the gradual move to cloud applications creates new risks never before experienced by Irish organisations. Dublin Information Sec aims to help businesses and public sector bodies deal with some of those issues."
Sponsorship and Events Manager at INM, Cliona Carroll added, "Businesses have faced huge IT security threats in the first half of 2017. It is crucial that businesses of every size are prepared with the most up to date technologies and data security tools. Dublin Information Sec aims to help businesses understand current cyber security threats. We are very pleased to welcome eir Business, a Cisco Gold Partner, once again this year as sponsor for the second annual event."
