New cyber security conference
Speakers
Organised by the Mzanzy Cyber-Security Institute, the conference will feature global and national security experts presenting the latest advances in cyber security. Additional highlights include panel and collaborative discussions with industry chief security officers, security entrepreneurs, industry analysts and a technology showcase.
TJ Jacoby, the New York City Housing Authority chief information officer, will deliver the keynote address and provide a strategic view into the constantly morphing aspects of cyber security and its impact across all aspects of business.
Among the other international speakers are Dr Alain Nkoyock, senior ICT coordinator for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (Austria), Professor Memon, a professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering and director of the Information Systems & Internet Security (ISIS) laboratory at New York University and Jay Renade, director of education services at TechnoDyne University, New York.
Local security experts will join Brian Gerber, operations director at Siyenza Holdings in discussing security issues pertinent to South Africa. Among the topics to be discussed is the need for a common legal and regulatory framework that takes the changing nature of cybercrime into account.
"We aim to lay the groundwork for building the capacity of key decision-makers in government and industry, helping them to implement strategies aimed at preventing and responding to cyber threats in a timely manner," explains Richard Young, conference organiser. "Moreover, it is also crucial that we arm these decision-makers with the means to adopt resilient technical measures, establish appropriate organisational structures and create a robust regulatory framework to deal with cyber threats on a personal, business and national level."
