Information Security risks evolve at lightning speed, creating many security challenges: Who should be responsible for it? Is it a matter of the Chief Information Security Officer alone or should the Directors deal with the issues as well? What are the risks arising from sensitive information leakage, cyber security attacks and cloud computing? The speaker will address the issues from a practical perspective taking into account the Cyprus reality, attitude obstacles and the role of IT as a technology innovation enabler. (English) |
|
|||||
10:00 – 10:30 |
Cloud Computing, Internet of Things and Big Data are emerging technologies which transform the way business is run and have a major impact on society at large. Organisations in Cyprus need to be aware of the opportunities and challenges that arise. The speaker will identify current IT industry trends and possible future implications. He will also present the obstacles to organisational change and the ways to overcome them. (English) |
|
|||||
10:30 – 11:00 |
Combatting cyber-attacks like malware, phishing and ransom-ware is becoming a daily challenge. To minimise the risk imposed by cyber-criminals, organisations need to be proactive and utilise an adaptive and robust behaviour. The presenter will go over the knowledge and intelligence that business executives and security managers should be aware of in order to be able to protect their organisations from such emerging cyber-attacks. (Greek) |
|

11:00 – 11:10 |
According to a recent study by the EU, Cyprus ranks 25th out of 28 in Digital Skills – Human Capital. This poor performance sends the necessary signals to all stakeholders: Government, businesses as well as academic and training institutions. Concentrating on the IT training and certification process, the speaker will demonstrate why and how IT staff and other employees can benefit from effective training and certification in IT. He will also show how the gap between the market expectations and what IT graduates offer may be filled. (English) |
