Computer security veteran Graham Cluley will take you on a journey through some of dumb mistakes that malicious hackers have made which made it easy for them to be identified - the goofs, the screw-ups, and the basic failings which led to the authorities knocking on their door.

Keynote by Speaker Graham Cluley: Unbelievable Stories of Cyber Horror

Every day we read headlines of data breaches, hacks, and malware attacks. Often they're identikit newspaper stories where you could easily just change the names of the companies involved and the number of customer records they have had stolen from them. But every now and then something extraordinary happens. Like the companies who pretended to be hacked when they hadn't, or the attackers who went to extraordinary lengths to steal millions from their employers.

In this presentation, computer security veteran Graham Cluley shares some unbelievable tales of cyber attack.

Keynote by Speaker Graham Cluley: Three Threats that should be Keeping You Awake at Night

If you're losing sleep over state-sponsored attackers you're approaching things the wrong way. Yes, intelligence agencies are hacking some firms, but chances are that they're not interested in yours. Financially-motivated hacks and frauds are on the rise because it has become so easy for attackers to steal large amounts of money. And there's no need for criminals to know how to write malware to potentially steal millions from your business.

Graham Cluley describes the ways businesses are losing data and allowing fraudsters to steal sometimes vast amounts of money, and what you can do to reduce the chances of your firm being the next victim.

Keynote by Speaker Graham Cluley: Targeted Attacks

The glory days of mass-mailed malware, tricking users into believing they were opening a love letter or a photograph of Anna Kournikova are behind us. Today your company is at risk of being hit by carefully-crafted targeted attack, designed with your business in mind to maximise its potential for success.

Drawing upon examples like Sony, TalkTalk and Ashley Madison Graham Cluley describes the damage that can be done to corporations - not just through the theft of customer data and intellectual property, but also to a company's brand image. Looking to the future, Graham Cluley discusses how all companies have to be aware that they are potentially fighting a new enemy online - the state-sponsored attacker.

Keynote by Speaker Graham Cluley: The Rise of Malware

From back bedrooms to boardrooms, Graham Cluley describes how viruses and trojan horses turned from a schoolboy prank into a threat which could steal secrets from governments, disrupt nuclear facilities in Iran, and even help secret agents assassinate their opponents.

Graham Cluley draws on his long history in the anti-virus industry to explain who the malware authors are, how the nature of the attacks are changing, and the steps that organisations need to take to prevent themselves from becoming the next victim.

Keynote by Speaker Graham Cluley: The Internet of Insecure Things

More and more household items are being connected to the internet, often with little thought regarding security. If not taken seriously, the threat could even be deadly.

In the last few months, we have all read headlines of how Jeeps have been remotely hacked while driving at 70mph down the motorway, giving attackers the potential ability to kill the brakes, or interfere with the steering. Meanwhile millions of vehicles have been recalled because vehicles are becoming the ultimate mobile device - computers that we sit in.

We wouldn't dream of attaching a desktop computer to the internet without having security in place, so how come everything from internet-connected toothbrushes to smartphone-controlled washing machines and remote control thermostats are fine to plug in? The truth is that "smart" devices have the potential to be very very dumb when it comes to security.

Unlike PC and software vendors who have decades of computer security experience, the manufacturers of these new devices often have little in the way of expertise and yet could still be exposing us and our personal data to the threat of hackers. Graham Cluley describes the threat, and calls upon the manufacturers and developers to take the security of these devices more seriously.

Customer Reviews

Sarah Himmel Abnormal Security

Graham was masterful at engaging with the group in a mock game show format called evil or genius. His impressive industry credentials and experience also meant the group paid attention to the topic, which was not only hugely entertaining but also got across the key messages I wanted the group to take on board. Over a month later members of my team are still talking about Graham and his talk… My main challenge now is how to top this for next year’s event. Graham, you will be a tough act to follow.

Nigel Townley Chief Technology Officer, UK Research and Innovation

Graham’s presentation went down a treat with our audience. We didn’t want someone to put up a 100-slide PowerPoint and go through the intricacies of cybersecurity, we wanted someone who would just be honest and give us the juicy stuff like who got hacked, how it happened, and why our audience should be making sure they are cyber secure. Graham gave a humourous, yet frighteningly accurate account of what hackers can do. I would highly recommend Graham for any event that needs a humourous and knowledgeable cybersecurity expert.

Kevin Rooney Head of Marketing, MJ Flood Technology

Not only is Graham’s industry knowledge second to none, he was one of the most relaxed and professional chairman I have had the pleasure of working with. With an acute attention to detail, the ability to interact with a wide and diverse audience and a fantastic sense of humour, Graham is a chairman I would wholly recommend and will continue to work with in the future whenever possible.

Annabel Berry CEO, Sapphire

Graham was the Keynote Speaker and Event Chairperson of the first annual “European Legal Security Forum”, produced by Netlaw Media. Graham was always my first choice of Chairperson for the event and his knowledge, humour and charm did not let me down. Graham is without doubt on the most knowledgeable experts in the world of IT Security and he comes with my full recommendation.

Graham’s knowledge of the IT security industry is quite frankly immense and his eloquent way of explaining it, unrivaled.

Claire Ayles Co-Founder, Eleven Hundred Agency

Graham is the most knowledgeable person I’ve met when it comes to information security. What’s more, he’s equally compelling whether speaking to a room full of technical analysts or on the TV explaining things in a way my granny would understand.
