At the occasion of the Hack.lu Convention on October 22nd, CIONET Luxembourg will have its first CIONET Highlight Event on IT security.

A CIONET Highlight Event is a CIONET Luxembourg roundtable and discussion on a IT dedicated topic. For the first time, CIO’s will have a discussion with Claus Cramon Houmann, Head of IT at the Banque Öhman SA Bank in Luxembourg, Andrea Barisani and Daniele Bianco, internationally known security researchers and speakers on IT Sec.

The event is supported by the CIRCL (Computer Incident Response Center Luxembourg), the national Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT – CERT) coordination center for the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. A CSIRT (or CERT) is like a fire brigade which can react when computer security incidents occur. CIRCL is operated by SMILE (“security made in Lëtzebuerg”), a State funded “groupement d’intérêt économique” (GIE), designed to improve information security and create new opportunities for Luxembourg.

The CIONET Highlight Event is exclusively reserved to CIONET Luxembourg members. To join the CIO’s Community, please contact raphael@cionet.com
