Cybersecurity receives relatively little attention in the education sector. This is reflected not only in the inadequate security of many digital education systems, but also in the limited coverage of cybersecurity in ICT training programs. This is a concerning situation in an era when viruses, malware and hackers pose constant threats.

In his talk, Cybersecurity in Education, he explores how the sector rightly priorities educational programs while often overlooking the far-reaching consequences of potential security breaches.
Disturbing reports of security breaches in healthcare regularly make the headlines.

In his talk, Cybersecurity in Healthcare, he explains why hiring more IT professionals does not automatically lead to better protection of critical healthcare systems. What matters is implementing the right measures to safeguard sensitive personal information more effectively.
