Cyber Security Cluster – April 2016 meeting<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The North Wales Cyber Security Cluster is meeting on 21 April at Solvings Ltd<\/a>, in Mold, Flintshire. Solvings provide a\u00a0great location and the cluster is a wonderful opportunity to learn about cyber security.<\/p>\n

Access to cluster meetings is free and everyone is welcome. No prior knowledge is needed. There really are no stupid questions!<\/p>\n

Clusters exist across the UK<\/a> and grew out\u00a0of the UK Governments Cyber Security Strategy. In North Wales, meetings are monthly. Each session comprises a mix of presentations, information sharing and networking.<\/p>\n

Halkyn Consulting is proud to be presenting a session on cyber attacks for the April meeting. We will look at why cyber security is different & why it matters. Following this, we will cover hackers. This will include what motivates them and what techniques they use.<\/p>\n

In this session we will also present a case study involving a live “hacking” demonstration. This is based on an investigation we carried out for a UK client. The demonstration will show, in near real time, how swiftly hackers can compromise a system. This is true, even for a fairly well secured system.<\/p>\n

If time allows, we will cover some additional cases involving blended attacks and newer tools. All of this is based on real-world examples of attacks hitting UK businesses.<\/p>\n

To close our session, we will talk about incident response. This is a crucial part of every cyber security plan. We will look at three common IR models. We will also briefly cover the six steps of incident response. A future session will concentrate\u00a0this in more detail.<\/p>\n

Everyone really is welcome to the Cyber Security Cluster. Free up a couple of hours on Thursday and pop in to say hello. Please help to spread the word. North Wales can be a centre of Cyber Security excellence.<\/p>\n

You can register for a seat via EventBrite<\/a> or even just turn up on the day. See you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
