Security is for life, not just for October

Cybersecurity Month may be over, but our cybersecurity activities and initiatives continue all year round. Here are a few important reminders for you.

Security Days 2025 – Securing What Matters

Now that you’ve saved the date for annual security conference (because you have saved it, right?), let me highlight the theme of this year’s event. It emphasises the essential task of safeguarding our most critical assets. Our aim is to encourage everyone to recognise and prioritise what needs protection while advocating for a comprehensive approach to security.

The Call for Proposals will open on December 1, and registration will begin on January 6, so please stay tuned for updates.

  • Ethics in Security
  • Usability and Security

  • Security Leadership
  • Securing the Network
