security event, Les Assises, working in
conjunction with SASIG. The forum’s

from leading UK businesses and
academics and included high level
content delivered through expert-led
presentations, keynotes and partner
workshops, designed to focus on
strategic cybersecurity issues that
are of concern to CISOs today.
