“NISC has rapidly established itself as one of the highlights of the information security calendar,” says John Morrison, Sapphire’s Managing Director. “It gives delegates the opportunity to enhance their practical and theoretical knowledge in a relaxed and informal environment, while at the same time enabling delegates, presenters and sponsors to benefit from peer-to-peer networking and collaboration.” This year’s event features over 30 presentations on topical security issues. Keynote speakers include Bryan Littlefair, Vodafone Chief Information Security Officer, who will present on “Recent and Future Trends of the Information Security Space”, Superintendent Brett Lovegrove, Head of Counter Terrorism at the City of London Police, who will highlight the criticality of partnerships in the fight against this threat and Vernon Poole, Head of Business Consultancy at Sapphire, presenting on the IT Governance issues around shared services. The event will also include vendor technical sessions covering specific products and services. These will enable attendees to participate in practical demonstrations while evaluating the functionality of the latest security solutions. In addition, there will be business-focused breakout sessions, panel discussions and an exhibition, with a broad range of products from leading security vendors on display. Microsoft is a platinum sponsor of the event while leading enterprise systems management vendor, Quest Software has taken out gold sponsorship. A further 23 organisations are either silver or bronze sponsors.
