Following the hugely successful CyNam 19.1 in March, we are pleased to invite you to the next networking event for Cheltenham and Gloucestershire’s Cyber Security and Tech community. For CyNam 19.2, we will be partnering with Cheltenham Science Festival, to host ‘Cyber Security in HealthTech’ within the festival’s own Helix Theatre.

CyNam 19.2 will be another evening of presentations, networking and collaboration, where we will explore and answer some of the key questions critical to keeping HealthTech secure, such as:

•      Hackable HealthTech – How secure are smart devices in healthcare and the IoT industry?

•      Health Data Conundrum – With disruptive ransomware attacks and breaches on the rise, how is HealthTech protecting everyone’s data?

•      The Secure Future of HealthTech – What’s on the horizon and what innovation is happening to secure the HealthTech of tomorrow?

As always, tickets are free, but limited seating means we will be allocating one ticket per invitation. This means we also kindly ask, if you find you are no longer able to attend, that you contact the CyNam team so your ticket can be reallocated. Register your place from our Eventbrite page here.
