About the Cybersecurity Day 2019

The fourth edition held in Luxembourg, the PwC Luxembourg Cybersecurity Day brings together influential players from the cyber-industry, CEO’s, CISO’s and DPO’s.

PwC Luxembourg defined an agenda that covers 3 distinct though interdependent parts. The morning is dedicated to CISOs with technical updates, cybersecurity solutions and inspiring ideas to tackle today’s challenges. The afternoon is fully dedicated to separate sessions targetting CISOs, DPOs and CEOs.

Participants can get inspiration from international and distinguished speakers representing a rich panel of thought leaders covering challenging topics that are on the agendas of the cyber leaders of today and tomorrow… (check on website).

 

The PwC Luxembourg Cybersecurity Day- for CISOs offers security experts the opportunity to gain technical insight, meet five promising cybersecurity solutions and attend interactive workshops.

How to grow as a cyber leader, increase your cybersecurity effectiveness, SWIFT Customer Security Programme, what data tells about you, manage your third- party providers or how to react in case of a crisis are some of the key topics covered by the PwC Cybersecurity Day this year.

 

The PwC Luxembourg Cybersecurity Day- CEO Ticket tailored to provide CEOs, during one afternoon, an in-depth understanding on strategic challenges on cybersecurity, privacy and managing change. It provides an opportunity to discuss with peers, participate in workshops and provide you with the tools to understand cyber security from a strategic and organisational point of view. Followed by a keynote that explains how to increase our influence over others and go through the role of an effective cyber leader to equip you and prepare your organisation for the rising threats of tomorrow. Lastly, a Hacking Experience together with the CISOs offer a great opportunity for the CEOs to understand the complexity of an attack.

 

The PwC Luxembourg Cybersecurity Day – Privacy Corner will offer DPOs or persons in charge of Data Privacy the occasion to gain technical updates and attend interactive workshops. We’re delighted to have CNPD amongst us to provide feedback on the CNPD governance investigation, and give our invitees the possibility to assist in sessions on various topics like CARPA, the roles and challenges of a global DPO, an introduction of IAPP in Luxembourg, the challenge of data leak versus data breach and more. The Privacy professor, Rebecca Herold outlines her vision on how to prepare ourselves for privacy risk evolution.

 

For all our invitees, at the end of the day, the best-selling author, and 21-year cybersecurity veteran Jane Frankland will help the audience to understand how cross-industry collaboration, and embracing diversity are the keys to building strong, secure and stable connected platforms, able to run both today’s and tomorrow’s services.

“The era where management considers that their organisations are not at stake due to the preventative controls they have put in place is over. Many of these controls run within existing IT departments that never received the right training to provide adequate and timely response during an incident.  The more we become digitally dependent, and with the increase of connectivity regardless of the nature of the organisation or type of industry, the bigger the attack surface becomes. Attacks increase in volume and complexity making it difficult to stop them. With the integration of IoT and cloud adoption in our daily and professional lives it is crucial we do not repeat the errors from previous eras. This is precisely why we made an extra effort this year to extend the time and range for submissions for the Pitching Competition 2019 looking to attract companies with unique solutions that address major cybersecurity concerns in the field of fraud & cybersecurity investigation or AI for cybersecurity using the latest technologies. We are very happy with the number and quality of the companies that submitted this year. From these, we have selected five finalists who will pitch live at our Cybersecurity Day,” says Koen Maris, Director and Cybersecurity Leader at PwC Luxembourg.
