Sessions

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.

According to leading IT specialist Dave Maasland, cybersecurity deserves a prominent place on the agenda of today's educational institutions. 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. Hospitals temporarily unable to operate following cyberattacks, patient records exposed online and inaccurate treatment information reaching doctors are just a few examples of the consequences of inadequate digital security.

According to cybersecurity expert Dave Maasland, many of these problems can be prevented. 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.

Anyone can learn to hack; they simply may not realize it yet. Understanding how attackers operate is the first step towards building an effective defense. In this 30-minute session, we introduce executives, CEOs and other interested participants to the mindset of a hacker.

This engaging and eye-opening presentation explores cybercriminals and their tactics, offering practical insights into how organizations can start creating a safer digital working environment today. The session is suitable for everyone, including those without a technical background.
