Well that is the big day over for this year and I am not sure it wasn’t better than the time before. Rory and I had a tiring two days. Day one we had to drive from rural Argyll to Glasgow not once but twice with 320 delegate bags, 50 sponsor/speaker/crew bags, the CryptoCake and […]

A presentation by Paul Midian, CISO of Dixons Carphone and ex-chairman of CREST The talk will address the reasons that a lot of good security consulting advice does not seem to get acted on by clients.

It was rather unfortunate that they didn’t manage to announce this before my partner Rory drove all the way from Argyll to Dundee this morning after he was assured it was going ahead. The picture shows what the weather was like when he […]
