Cisco security chief, Paul King, talks targeted cyber crime and commer

Yorkshire based network and security specialist, ITogether, has partnered with respected industry expert Paul King, Senior Security Advisor for global networking leader, Cisco, to host a must-attend webinar offering businesses vital insight into cyber crime and targeted attacks. 

The event, which promises a rare opportunity to hear industry leader Paul King share essential advice on a phenomenon estimated to be costing UK businesses £21bn* every year, is aimed at professionals responsible for corporate governance and network security. 

Paul King has 18 years security experience with Cisco and heads up the company’s Corporate Security Programs Organisation, advising on security matters, from specific threats to policy issues, both inside the business and for high profile external clients.  Paul is continually carrying out new research into sophisticated targeted attacks as well as representing Cisco at government level in the Home Office.
 

The webinar presents a key opportunity for organisations to submit their burning questions about network security and will consider the growing commercial and brand risks of targeted cyber threats for businesses, from SMEs to enterprises. 

The panel will also discuss why companies of all sizes should be looking for the highest levels of next generation network security, such as Securex and next generation firewalls, in order to keep sensitive information safe, to ensure that potentially lucrative issues aren't disclosed and private information isn't released.  They will also consider how organisations can recognise and protect themselves against targeted attacks in 2012 and beyond.

The ‘Cyber Crime and Targeted Attacks’ webinar will take place at 16:00 GMT on Wednesday 25 January 2012.  To register to join or to submit your burning questions to the panel visit www.itogether.co.uk/ciscocybercrime/ Alternatively call the dedicated phone line on 0113 341 0138 for more information or visit ITogether.co.uk  to download the webinar post event.
