First technology evening for 2019
Following the AGM Cobus Pool from Proconics gave an informative presentation titled ‘Cybersecurity for critical infrastructure – legislation and regulation’.
Cobus Pool.
In today’s connected world, everyone benefits from advanced cybersecurity programs. At an individual level, a cyber-attack can vary from identity theft, blackmail attempts to the loss of vital information. Everyone relies on critical infrastructure like power plants, hospitals and financial service companies. Securing these and other organisations is essential to keeping our society functioning and needs to comply with legislation and the relevant codes of practise. The branch thanks Cobus for this informative presentation.
Technology evening dates for 2019: 7 March, 4 April, 9 May, 6 June, 11 July, 1 August, 5 September, 3 October and 7 November.
