The Security IT Summit follows a similar<br />

format to the Total Security Summit, but is<br />

aimed specifically at senior cyber security<br />

professionals. In addition, all of the<br />

networking, learning and business-building<br />

activity happens in one day. It takes place on 2<br />

July at the Hilton London Hotel, Canary Wharf.<br />

As our VIP guest, you’ll be able to meet with<br />

suppliers to the sector based on your specific<br />

cyber security requirements and upcoming<br />

projects. As is the case with the Total Security<br />

Summit, all meetings are pre-arranged. No time<br />

will be wasted and there’s no ‘hard sell’ at all.<br />

Delegates can network with like-minded<br />

peers who share similar day-to-day challenges.<br />

Seminar sessions will be hosted throughout<br />

the day. One of the presentations this time<br />

around is entitled ‘Weaponising Data: The Dark<br />

Nexus of Hacking, Leaking, Journalism and<br />

Information Warfare’. Over the last two<br />

decades, hacking has become a cash-cow for<br />

organised crime operations. This hasn’t gone<br />

unnoticed by rich and powerful forces who’ve<br />

begun to harness hackers’ tactics in order to<br />

fight wars, control financial markets, skew<br />

elections and seize the news agenda.<br />

Without understanding the hackers’<br />

dynamics, we all risk being drawn into a world<br />

created to serve their interests alone.<br />

Journalist Geoff White will examine the<br />

growth of hacking as an organised crime<br />

machine, the emergence of hacktivism as an<br />

information warfare tool, the use of these<br />

tactics in the hacking of the last US Presidential<br />

Election and the nexus of journalists,<br />

whistleblowers, hackers and thieves actively<br />

fostered by Dark Web technology.<br />

about the event:<br />

• “A great event. Very well organised and an<br />

excellent venue. Well looked after throughout<br />

the day and a good experience. Kudos to the<br />

staff behind the scenes for putting this<br />

together. Attendance thoroughly<br />

recommended” (Global Switch)<br />

• “Well organised event. Great communications<br />

leading up to the day. Would definitely attend<br />

again” (Catalyst Housing)<br />

• “Works very well for all parties. There’s<br />

enough time to cover the basics of the products<br />

without prolonging conversations. Overall, it’s a<br />

fast and intense, but ultimately valuable source<br />

of vendor contact” (Nomura)<br />
