About Jisc security conference 2022
Jisc security conference 2022, 7–9 November 2022
Come together as a community after three years apart to interact face to face, share stories and meet industry partners. This year's three-day event comprises:
- Day one (in person) - a targeted exhibition of key cyber security vendors and sessions addressing key challenges as a community
- Day two (in person) - a more intimate day featuring presentations dedicated to our members and customers and personal deep dive experiences
- Day three (online) - a fully virtual day where we aim to reach as many members of staff as possible to engage with cyber security
Why should security be at the top of every staff member’s agenda?
Any cyber security specialist will tell you that keeping an organisation secure requires a holistic approach – every staff member has a part to play. At the security conference 2022 we address this need head on with an in-depth programme of talks and training workshops designed to upskill all staff members. Staff from all teams should attend this event as we will examine the key areas where vulnerabilities lie across an organisation.
Attacks are on the rise; hackers have jumped at the opportunity to strike, as thousands work at home on unsecure networks. You need the latest knowledge to stay ahead of the curve and ensure you can mitigate ever changing risk.
Attending this event will give you the practical advice needed to safeguard yourself and your students, while gaining a greater understanding of cyber security threats. You have as much responsibility as your security team in keeping your organisation safe - after the conference, we hope you have a better understanding of how to do this.
