PwC Announces 3rd Cybersecurity Day

The 3rd edition of the PwC Cybersecurity Day will take place on 18 October 2018.

For this year’s PwC Cybersecurity Day, which falls within the Luxembourg Cybersecurity Week, the focus will be on why businesses are vulnerable to cyber disruptions and how leaders who participate at the event can help their organisations build resilience to sustain operations and boost economic performance.

For the third time in Luxembourg, the PwC Cybersecurity Day will bring together influential players from the cyber-industry. Business leaders, private and public decision-makers, investors or cybersecurity specialists will endeavour, through leading keynotes, interactive workshops or business meetings, to strengthen the fight against cybercrime and to find efficient solutions to current and future challenges from a national, European and international perspective.

This year, events have been organised into two distinct parts. The entire day will be dedicated to CISOs with technical updates and cybersecurity solutions while in the afternoon there will be a dedicated session for CISOs and CEOs with a broader approach to cybersecurity.  

Hot topics will include the latest trends in cyberattacks: technology watch from PwC Luxembourg’s Ethical Hackers, Maxime Clementz and Vladimir Kolimaga and the evolution of cybersecurity: towards 21st century risk management with Guy-Philippe Goldstein (Lecturer, Ecole de Guerre Economique (Paris) and Strategic Advisor, Expon Capital). In the afternoon more topics will be covered including key findings from the "Out of the shadows: CISO in the spotlight!" survey followed by an open discussion with Rodolphe Mans (President, Collège des Professionnels de la Sécurité et de l'Information (CPSI)) and Maxime Pallez (Cybersecurity Manager, PwC Luxembourg). Meanwhile, the topic of vulnerability in the infrastructure "If a country is being hacked” will be handled by Richard Oehme (Cybersecurity and Critical infrastructure Protection Director, PwC Sweden). There will also be six breakout sessions.

Among the event's highlights will be the be the pitch competition, featuring eight top companies (CounterCraft, CybeReady, Detectify, Hacknowledge, Jemmic, NormShield, Sixgill and Venafi) who will present how they meet cybersecurity challenges head-on with next-generation solutions, as well as an afternoon keynote by Dr Jessica Barker.  Dr. Barker is a world-reknowned leader in the human nature of cybersecurity and a winner of the Tech Women 50 Awards as well as one of the top 20 most influential women in cyber security in the UK in 2017.
