Security in the digital world is a fundamental issue for all users, be they individuals or governments. Although we are fully immersed in the digital world we remain somewhat ignorant about our security and that of our organisations. Prof Buchanan, leading expert and visionary will discuss the multiple implications of cybersecurity along with future developments that would impact our lives, businesses and governments. Join us for a rare opportunity to interact with a global expert on a fascinating topic.
