The European Information Security Summit 2013
Defending your enterprise and ensuring data security for tomorrow’s technologies
6–7 February 2013 • Central London, UK
Take control: steps towards better hack-proofing of your business
Nearly 200 Information Security experts and CIOs gathered at The Mermaid Theatre in London for two days of stimulating conversations, thought-provoking presentations and interactive roundtable discussions. The highlights video captures some of the excitement of the event, including remarks from key speakers and delegates.
IT security and data privacy is at the centre for most IT and security professionals, and is of growing importance to the boardroom and business managers. Threats to the security of systems and information include everything from cyber terrorism to viruses, malware, human error, new technologies and accidental data loss.
Organisations that fail to take effective measures are courting disaster, with the danger of legal action by authorities over breaches of – and devastating damage to – brands, reputation and customer confidence.
Hear from Chris Soghoian, US privacy researcher and activist, about the looming mobile security update crisis:
Hundreds of millions of devices, many holding sensitive personal and financial data, are now running software with known, exploitable software vulnerabilities. This talk will delve into the smartphone security update problem, examine its causes, and propose a way out.
High-level end-user insight to secure your systems
This exclusive summit will bring together CEOs, entrepreneurs, CIOs, IT directors and department heads from blue chip companies together with world-leading experts in cyber security to focus on strategic solutions.
- How should organisations protect themselves, their employees and their customers from IT attacks? Stay ahead of the cyber criminals with the latest information on viruses, malware and botnets.
- What to do when under attack? Prepare for a security breach and develop an effective response plan for your business.
- What about securing data in the cloud? How do companies decide what to put in the cloud, what to keep within their systems and how to secure both? Is the scale of cloud security safer than the individual security of a proprietary system? Get to the truth about the security of cloud computing and discover the security measures the experts recommend.
- Debate the security issues around employees working on personal devices. How to deal with consumerisation of IT and BYOD (bring your own device)? How to share corporate data confidentially with secure access, backup and file sharing while retaining a flexible work environment and remaining compliant?
- Learn about the threats to social media and how to protect your business and customers.
- Prevent data loss – and if the worst happens, learn ways to mitigate the problems and heal the wounds.
- Find the middle ground – how to strike the balance between money spent on IT security, the loss of flexibility entailed by security processes and policies, and the seemingly insatiable legal demands of accommodating an open-ended set of regulations and data protection expectations.
Food for thought for strategic thinkers
This is an exclusive, by invitation only, event for the executives of major organisations responsible for information security and data privacy. The debate will be rigorous, the information invaluable, and the opportunities for networking unparalleled.

Media
UK business is harbouring a time bomb. Research shows that many businesses leaders are woefully ignorant of risks surrounding the security of their information. Security breaches ruin reputations, cost fortunes and end careers – but even those businesses that understand the danger they face rarely know what to do about it.
In 2013, Business Reporter aims to change that. The European Information Security Summit forms a key part of a suite of information products designed to expose the dangers businesses face and highlight the actions they can – and must – take. The end result will be a “manifesto for change” that Business Reporter will use to inform, educate and mobilise business leaders – before it’s too late.
In addition to the summit, the product suite will include:
- A print report highlighting the major risks businesses face and a call to action, distributed with the national press.
- Online coverage, including a live broadcast of the European Information Security Summit, with archive access after the event and additional video content.
- Bespoke research conducted by a leading third-party market research agency, assessing business’s readiness and ability to face, and understanding of, this major emerging risk.
Senior editorial experts from Business Reporter will combine these outputs to inform a whitepaper entitled: “Information Security: A manifesto for change”. The culmination of the campaign to raise awareness, the white paper will include a straightforward set of recommendations for the public and private sector organisations, which will achieve maximal national attention through a concerted PR campaign.
