Session teaser

This session is about good practice in cybersecurity, but we want to hear your case studies too: do they give you a warm fuzzy feeling, or a cold prickly feeling?

There’s an elephant in the room, but that’s OK… we’ve got it under surveillance.

Session description

It’s clear that cybersecurity threats can cross national boundaries; can cybersecurity defences? What are the challenges in doing so, and is anyone addressing them successfully?

Technologically, the direction of travel seems clear: it is easier to collect, share and process personal data than ever before, and to do so in greater quantities. Whole sectors of the economy are based on that principle. But how much does the technology improve our security, and how much does it erode our privacy?

And that elephant in the room: are cybersecurity concerns being used to undermine our fundamental rights?

OK - let’s acknowledge that cybersecurity has many stakeholders, and their interests often conflict. Is there a collaborative approach that can lead to better outcomes for all?
