CyberIsle 2024
Cyber security is now more important than ever. With over £860,000 taken from Island residents and businesses in 2023 through various cybercrimes, CyberIsle 2024 will continue to highlight the importance of protecting the Island’s digital economy.
The Island’s premier cyber security conference returns in October, for what will be its sixth year, providing guidance on how to prepare for, respond to and recover from any potential cyber incidents for individuals and organisations alike.
Previous conferences have featured a range of speakers including representatives from the National Cyber Security Centre – part of the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) – and industry experts. This instalment will build upon the messages from previous years so that business leaders, community groups, charitable organisations and private individuals can work together to keep the Isle of Man’s cyberspace safe.
“We are continuing to see high profile cyber-attacks affect both organisations and governments globally,” said Minister for Justice and Home Affairs Hon Jane Poole-Wilson MHK. “It’s important we continue to raise awareness and help equip individuals and organisations with the knowledge to counter these threats.”
CyberIsle is organised by the Cyber Security Centre (CSC) for the Isle of Man, a part of OCSIA, and the Department of Home Affairs. The event is supported through sponsorship and aims to be run on a cost-neutral basis.
