New threats, sophisticated cyberattacks, groundbreaking malware that is not detected by antiviruses, the imminent implementation of the NIS2 Community Directive with the major challenges/requirements it poses, the perennial problem of a shortage of cybersecurity executives, geopolitical instability, the use of AI and the concerns it raises, as well as the increasing complexity of cloud protection, all require the design and implementation of effective security strategies, as well as the continuous review of protection technologies and systems, here and now.
In this landscape, where technologies are becoming "smarter" and increasingly always connected, the workload of CISOs is increasing significantly as they are called upon to respond to today's challenges to ensure the future of their businesses.
For the 12th consecutive year, at the conference of CISOs, Cyber Security decision makers and InfoSec experts, leading experts from Greece and abroad will address pressing security issues, exchange views and share their experience by analyzing current trends, based on real case studies, as well as solutions based on innovation and technology.
Executives from the largest businesses that face digital threats daily, decision-makers, market experts, academics, institutions, politicians and government representatives will reveal strategies, practices and technologies that make a difference in the digital security of today and tomorrow.
The aim of this event is to highlight current trends and challenges in the security sector and to propose solutions, tools and best practices for continuously enhancing the resilience of companies.
