How Cyber Warfare and Information Operations are changing Everything!
Presented by Dr Leigh Armistead
This one-day seminar presents an overview of the key issues which are of concern in today’s challenging world of cyber warfare and cyber security.
There is increasing concern that our systems are vulnerable to attack from numerous sources and that these attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated. It is therefore essential to understand these threats and to be able to create and implement a robust policy of self defence.
This programme takes participants through all the important issues to be considered to ensure that cyber attacks do not disrupt an organization’s operations.
