Failures in planning, implementation and monitoring are biggest security threats to companies today, says Nuvias Cyber Security EVP Ian Kilpatrick

Free presentations on Nuvias (incorporating Wick Hill) stand from leading security industry experts - including State-of-the art Protection, Ransomware, DDoS, and Phishing

6/6/17 - Probably the biggest security threat to companies today, claims Ian Kilpatrick, EVP Cyber Security for Nuvias Group (incorporating Wick Hill) is the failure to strategically plan, implement and monitor a cyber security strategy. This is closely followed by the failure of companies to adequately train and monitor their staff in how to keep both themselves, and then by implication their business, cyber safe. Both of these security issues represent major tactical and strategic cyber risks.

Kilpatrick was speaking as Nuvias launched its prominent stand at this year’s Infosecurity Show (Stand D100). The two-storey, 99 sqm stand is located in a prime position and is visible from all areas of the venue. It features three large 3-metre screens, promoting the Nuvias vendor portfolio, and a presentation area for hosting free talks by leading industry experts.

The fascinating presentations, happening throughout the show, cover key issues in cyber security with titles such as A glimpse into the world of targeted attacks;
Preventing Fraud in a Digital World; Defending against Ransomware; Why hack when you can Phish; and DDoS – the stakes have changed. Have you? Those speaking include senior personnel from Kaspersky Lab, WatchGuard Technologies, KnowBe4 and Arbor Networks.
