\n\tInfosecurity Europe<\/a><\/span> – Infosec for short – is the largest and most comprehensive information security conference on the continent. <\/p>\n \n\tThis year\u2019s event at <\/span>Olympia London<\/a> brought together 400 exhibitors and nearly 20,000 delegates. I was back there this year (after a great event in 2017<\/a>) for three days of interesting insights and networking.<\/p>\n \n\tLast year, the skills gap, GDPR and AI were on everyone\u2019s lips: here are the topics that were creating a buzz twelve months on.<\/p>\n \n\tInfosec 2018 asked its attendees a big question with a great many aspects: \u201cdo you actually know your network?\u201d How many devices are connected, and how many other networks are within your range? How many of those are secure? What\u2019s being held on your servers, potentially visible? <\/p>\n \n\tGDPR has asked businesses to perform data audits, bringing to mind downloads, automated backups and archives that they may have forgotten – or never knew about to begin with. The end points of our networks are blurrier than they should be – as is so much of information security. <\/p>\n \n\tCrowdstrike\u2019s strategy talk<\/a><\/span> on cybercrime and statecraft built on the buzz of election interference, troll farms and data selling, exploring how data leaks become part of government and business strategy. Responses need to work the same way<\/a> – collaboratively, with businesses, governments and law enforcers building around the idea that leaks are to be prevented, not exploited or covered up. Endpoints also need to be carefully monitored – security needs to be kept up in transient locations<\/a> that are part of the network purely because workers are using them.<\/p>\n\n\tEndpoint security<\/h2>\n
