About this event

The world of cyber crime is evolving at a fast pace.

Cyber criminals are managing to stay a few steps ahead of many of our defences. Criminals adapt quickly to new defence methods and can weaponise new vulnerabilities in a just few short hours. How can you ensure you’re not the next victim?

Join us to hear from Theta's Jeremy Jones, trained by US Cyber Command and ex-UK RAF Security expert.

After this session, you'll leave with the most up-to-date and accurate knowledge about how to "power up", aka best protect your organisation in 2021 and beyond.

We've designed this event for CEO's, CIO's, Business Owners and other roles who have a vested interest in the fight against cyber crime.

The first cyber attack that made the headlines was the 'Morris Worm'. Released in 1988, it infected almost 10% of computers at the time and sparked global awareness of an emerging problem.

Since then, cyber crime has continued to cause absolute chaos for all kinds of organisations – from locally owned and operated small businesses to seemingly robust, global enterprises. As this professional pool of cyber-attackers grows, so does the threat of disruption to your critical infrastructure. The era of hyper-advanced cyber attacks is now truly upon us.
