Guest Speaker at Cardiff University

Invited by Complex Systems Research Group in University of Cardiff to present my talk "A holistic view on Cyber Security in evolutionary terms (food-for-thought)". This is also part of our OWASP (OWASP London Chapter) initiative to reach out to Universities and share expert knowledge in the security and cybersecurity space.

Feedback:
"The talk was one of the most useful I have attended during my PhD because it is unusual to speak to someone who can relate between research and industry in cyber security. It was really encouraging and made me look forward to working in the space after my PhD" Matilda Rhode 

"Very Inspiring and a Great Talk" Irene Anthi

OWASP London at JP Morgan (NCSAM 2018)

Due to the fact October is considered National Cyber Security Awareness Month (aka NCSAM) we were planing an OWASP London Chapter meetup. The meetup was hosted by JP Morgan at Canary Wharf, and it was an opportunity to deliver a talk around Cyber Security and how (cyber)threats have been evolving over the years. 

This time our lineup of talk included:

• "If You Liked It, You Should Have Put Security On It" - Zoë Rose (@5683Monkey)
• "Lessons From The Legion (The OWASP London Remix)" - Nick Drage (@SonOfSunTzu)
• "A holistic view on Cyber Security in evolutionary terms (food-for-thought)" - Dr. Grigorios Fragkos (@drgfragkos)

Cyber Security Awareness Month 2018

October is known as Cyber Security Awareness Month and in the US it is commonly referred as National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). This is a global initiative to raise awareness on emerging Cyber threats and best practices to defend against them, while educating the public and the private sector, on how to tackle cyber security challenges in a fast-evolving digital ecosystem.

‘Security’ is the enabler for evolving and scaling up in a secure manner, while minimising the risk of being affected at an irrecoverable level.

Cyber Security is promoted at an impressive rate during this month, with several awareness campaigns taking place. Typically, these campaigns focus on giving advice around having best-in-class practices when it comes to Cyber Security, sharing thoughts around exposure to unnecessary risk and try to communicate the benefits from having a Cyber Resilience strategy in place, while discussions around defence-in-depth tend to spawn recommendations around different products and services that might help an organisation’s security practice. 

To achieve this, during October several events take place to engage and educate the information security community, while focusing on sharing knowledge, lessons learned, and forward-looking ideas.
