Cyber Security and Awareness Seminar

On the 23rd November 2011 we held a unique Cyber Security and Awareness Seminar, targeted to all groups and held at MITA’s offices, who also sponsored the event.  Entrence was free with complimentary refreshments. 

The seminar was organised by ICT Gozo Malta Project and its co-founder Synaptic Laboratories Limited in partnership with BCS Malta Section as part of the Project's cyber awareness campaign, promoting Maltese sourced ICT skills and innovation, and building international relationships and collaboration for future economic and social development activities.

Synaptic Laboratories Limited has drawn on its international relationships, both old and very recent, to bring together an exceptional list of speakers who participated in this Seminar remotely from around the world.

The Seminar also linked into the Security Leaders Congress  being held in Brazil.

Synaptic Laboratories' Chief Technical Officer Benjamin Gittins was invited to participate in the Annual Brazil Security Leaders Congress on the 23 Nov. 2011.  This 2 day Congress was attended by some 800 CEO/CIO/CTO level executives from public and industry sectors.

Further details on the panel members are also listed on our site here: https://www.ictgozomalta.eu/events/news/latest-news/189-news-participation-in-brasil-security-leaders-congress.html

Synaptic Labs participation took place remotely from Malta and was the first such international participation in the history of the Congress.  The Congress was streamed live onto the Internet with translation into English.  In the panel called "Securing Legitimate Access", Benjamin Gittins participated along with several prominent Brazilian Information Security Leaders from Government, Industry and Academia.
