• Len Noe - Find out from the ex-black hat hacker what it’s like to have microchip implants in his body that enable him to compromise systems.
• Jake Moore - His session is entitled ‘How to hire a hitman on the dark web’ which sounds both risky and cool at the same time.

Bradley Maule-ffinch, Event Director, UK Cyber Week says, “The criticality of cyber security has moved it from the basement to the boardroom – but this has created a knowledge gap that must be addressed. Malicious hackers know this and can exploit vulnerabilities too easily. We want to bring everyone together under one roof to share expertise and experiences and level up cyber security in the UK. Our promise is that everyone, no matter how much or how little expertise they have, leaves knowing more and is better equipped for the battle ahead.”
