SECURITY BY INDUSTRY:

Cyber security and data analytics are growing fields as we advance in a period of increased reliance on data storage, exchange, and systems networking. Understanding the current state of cyber security and the threats that lurk on data and information is key in staying ahead of the race against threats and data privacy. Here are some of the key areas, among others, we will focus on at CyberDataCon.

1. HEALTH CARE

Healthcare contains some of the most sensitive and personal patient data and an uncontrolled cyber attack could mean jeopardizing information that can put your organization and the lives of many people at steak.

2. INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)

As IoT expands and we become more dependent on it as a global network, cyber threats and attackers not only become more prevalent, but also more advanced and well-equipped.

3. Mobile Security

Mobile security is perhaps the most commonly attacked and amidst the most damaging security attacks.

Join us as we uncover factors that influence cyber attackers and explore the latest in research, technology, and future directives to keep security ahead of the game.
