Confirming the event will take place in London between April
22 and 24, 2015 at BT’s headquarters in London, to DigitalSENSE Business
News ,the Secretary-General of the CTO, Professor Tim Unwin, said that they were delighted that BT has agreed to
partner for the second consecutive year for this important event.
“Over the last few years, cybersecurity has rapidly become a
key issue for governments across the world, requiring them to take action to
protect citizens, infrastructure, intellectual property and cyberspace from
cyberthreats. This event will contribute to building capacity among key
decision makers from across the Commonwealth and beyond to tackle cybercrime in
a holistic and concerted manner.” said Professor Unwin.
Also commenting, the President of BT Security, Mark
Hughes, said in a press statement available to DigitalSENSE Business
News
“Cybersecurity is
critically important and BT is pleased to be hosting the Commonwealth
Cybersecurity Forum 2015. As the threat landscape continues to evolve at pace,
it is important that governments and companies invest in cybersecurity and
educate their people in the IT department and beyond. The stakes are too high
for cybersecurity to be pushed to the bottom of the pile. This is why we see conferences
like this as critical,” Hughes explained.
