Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones, UK Government’s Special Representative to Business for Cyber Security will deliver the opening address
09:44 GMT, March 2, 2012 Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones, the UK Government’s Special Representative to Business for Cyber Security is to deliver the keynote presentation at ITEC’s first Cyber Security Training and Education Workshop, which will take place 23-24 May at ExCeL London.
Cyber attack costs British business an estimated £21 billion a year, including £7.6 billion from industrial espionage, and the UK Government has recently pledged £650 million to protect and counter against these crimes. Following last year’s publication of the Cabinet Office’s National Cyber Security Strategy, Baroness Neville-Jones will use ITEC to promote cyber skills for future fortification against this complex threat.
Characterised by ceaseless unpredictability, cyber space is now acknowledged as the ‘fifth domain’ of modern warfare. Tackling the immense threat is proving a primary concern in the shaping of government and military strategies around the world. Consequentially, the comprehensive implementation of robust training methodologies is acknowledged as essential if nations are to successfully secure their systems against this unprecedented attack.
ITEC, the internationally acclaimed conference and exhibition focused on military training, education and simulation, provides an ideal platform for a thorough exploration of this increasingly deadly dimension to global conflict.
The rise in digital danger has presented the global military training and simulation community with a unique set of requirements and opportunities for innovation. Responding to this, ITEC’s cyber workshop will see delegates from the public and private spheres join leading representatives from government, military and the defence industry, as well as eminent figures from across civil industry and academia, to discuss challenges and solutions to a major threat which faces us all.
