information security industry professionals come together to learn and exchange
ideas. Our 10th anniversary Conference programme showcased our reputation for
thought provoking speakers including Nick Leeson, the FBI, SOCA and others." 

"Although the current economic climate means training budgets remain tight, the
security industry continues to require rapid response to ever-present emerging
threats, so continued education is a must. Feedback about our move to central
London has been very positive and delegates continue to rate our content very
highly. We look forward to presenting an equally robust programme in 2010,
providing unparalleled access to the latest insights and intelligence to ensure
delegates` organisations are kept as secure as possible.
