Countries covered: Global

Cyber warfare has become a major concern for international governments, militaries and civil agencies over the last few years. Recently a wave of cyber attacks against NATO member Estonia in 2007, and then Georgia in 2008 have highlighted the crippling impact cyber warfare can have against a nation’s critical national infrastructure.

How do you protect national security in a borderless world?

SMi’s Cyber Defence 2010 is well timed and brings together international experts from across the cyber security sector. Being run in partnership with the Estonian MoD the event will examine the threats you face in cyberspace. Take the opportunity to attend our most interactive conference to date where you will have the chance to take part in panel discussions and multiple stream sessions.
