Committee

The nature and scope of the Information Security field is evolving. We are no longer are we just concerned with protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic, and we tend to consider both the organizational and technical aspects of information protection to be equally important. The Annual Security Conference provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy that enhance the understanding of current events, but also nurture future dialogues related to cybersecurity.
