INTERNATIONAL CYBERSECURITY SUMMIT 2017

PURPOSE The world around us is not just changing — it is transforming at an accelerated pace across several dimensions that affect us all. Geopolitical conflicts driven by globalization and climate change, the consequences of several billion more people joining the global Internet, unprecedented advances in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and the "Internet of Things" — all of this requires us to respond to today's threats while anticipating future challenges. At the same time, there is a lack of knowledge and experience to address the cybersecurity problems that governments, businesses, non-profit organizations, and ordinary users constantly face. The International Cybersecurity Summit 2017 (GCS 2017) will bring together experts to discuss these important topics, which are critically important for our cyber and economic security, in a highly relevant setting. For more detailed information, please visit the website https://www.GCS17.com BRIEF OVERVIEW Over the 2 days of the summit, participants will be introduced to best practices in cybersecurity, state-of-the-art developments, new opportunities, and emerging challenges in areas such as cybersecurity for government authorities, the "Internet of Things," VR/AR, and the industrial internet. Confirmed sessions include:
  • Building the next generation of cybersecurity professionals
  • The completely new world of "Internet of Things" security
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning
  • Securing infrastructure, manufacturing, and control and data acquisition systems.
PARTICIPANTS More than 1000 of the brightest minds in the cyber industry — technical specialists, educators, hackers, DevOps specialists, developers, designers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, cybersecurity experts, and others interested in this issue — will gather together in Kyiv, the stunning capital of Ukraine, to exchange deep knowledge and cutting-edge ideas.
