Synopsis
Falling victim to a cyber attack is something organisations fear. So why do many fail to implement the controls to help protect themselves?
In this talk Les will discuss a real world security incident, the investigation that followed and the steps that could have been taken to prevent it.
This talk is an opportunity to learn from someone else’s mistakes and will highlight key actions that can be taken by you and your organisation to help protect against similar incidents.

He is passionate about finding the right solution for the problem whether that is commercial, open source or bespoke. Having also worked as a lecturer and a commercial trainer, Les also has extensive experience of delivering technical courses.
The world of IT is full of terminology that many non-technical people are unfamiliar with, so Les firmly believes that being able to clearly communicate is essential to ensure everyone is well informed and can follow best practices.
