Spring is in the air
With February flying in and CyberNI Week already upon us, March is shaping up to be a busy one, with our Breakfast Club on tour in Derry-Londonderry, another inspiring NI Cyber X Danske Bank event, and plenty of opportunities to connect, learn, and grow.
February Breakfast Club recap
It was fantastic to welcome Dr. Ken Barker from the National Cybersecurity Consortium | Consortium national pour la cybersécurité (slides are available here) and Nicola Emmett from RiskEye Online Security Service to share their insights. Great discussions, great people, and a fantastic opportunity to learn from industry experts!
We had a quick overview of IoT Belfast, which has relaunched and is looking for speakers and venues to help grow the community. If you’re passionate about IoT, smart tech, or innovation, you can find out more and connect with Martin Naughton or Brian Douglas here: https://www.meetup.com/iotbelfast/
NI Cyber X Danske Bank
Building on the insights and discussions from our Advancing Women in Cyber event, "Resilient Women Accelerating Action" will focus on understanding the power of mentoring and building a resilient mindset to enable participants to thrive. With an interactive format, practical advice from industry leaders, and inspiring case studies, this event is designed to equip attendees with the tools to break barriers and build momentum for gender diversity in the cyber workforce.
Looking forward to hearing from each one of our panel members Séamus Gallagher, Ciara Rafferty, Valerie Wilson, Lara Sunday and Tanya Vacarda!
There are only a few spaces left so grab your spot here!
March’s Breakfast Club is hitting the road!
We’re taking it on tour to Derry-Londonderry to connect with the amazing cyber community up there. We know there’s incredible talent and innovation in the Northwest, and we can’t wait to hear your insights, share ideas, and show our support. ??Thanks to Natasha O'Hea and Catalyst for hosting!
