TechHQ is partnering with Europe’s largest information security event, Infosecurity Europe.

This year it will open its doors from June 4-6 2019 at Olympia, Hammersmith in London, bringing together business, technology and cyber communities to discuss and discover the best way to protect organizations and individuals today. TechHQ will be on hand to share key takeaways and expert interviews.

The annual event attracts over 19,500 unique information security professionals from every part of the industry, including 400+ exhibitors showcasing their products and services, industry analysts, worldwide press and policy experts, while over 200 industry speakers are lined up to take part in the free-to-attend conference, seminar and workshop programme

It presents an invaluable platform for vendors to showcase their security products and solutions, with established vendors joined by startups and innovative new companies.

In 2018, Infosecurity Europe welcomed visitors from more than from 82 countries – the largest gathering of information security professionals anywhere in the world. Visitor numbers have grown by 50 per cent over recent years.

Cybersecurity 4.0

Infosecurity Europe is home to the world’s largest complimentary conference programme with 240+ free to attend conference sessions, which have been accredited by leading industry associations (ISC)² and ISACA since 2012. Visitors have access to 140+ hours of insight, debate and thought-provoking content that is unmatched at any other event.

The theme this year is Cybersecurity 4.0: Complexity, risk and resilience. As organizations become increasingly complex, we are moving into a new area of cybersecurity – one where increased connectivity, machine learning and rising cyber threats to infrastructure pose new and complex risks. Against this background the infosecurity community is tasked with simplifying information security to manage and mitigate increasing risks and enhance organizational resilience.

Security leaders

The Keynote Stage addresses the challenges of building strong cybersecurity strategies and tactics to protect an organization’s critical information assets as the world around us transforms. Following extensive research with the information security end-user community and consultation with an Advisory Council of senior industry practitioners, the Keynote Stage is the vibrant hub of the Infosecurity Europe conference program. Delegates gain direct access to information security knowledge and expertise from some of the industry’s leading end-user practitioners, policy-makers, analysts and thought leaders.

This year’s Keynote Stage line-up includes:
