Cyber security will be a massive topic at meetings and keynotes in 2018. If you are looking for a terrific speaker on this topic, we recommend:<\/p>\n

Sir John Scarlett<\/a><\/b>, Former Chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)<\/b>
\nSir John Scarlett offers an up-to-the-minute overview of the state of the world and the geopolitical issues about which audiences should be \u201cin the know.\u201d He looks at parts of the world that spell trouble for national interests, how vulnerable certain institutions are to cyber attacks, and the ways to protect against it.<\/p>\n

Robert Hannigan<\/b>, Former GCHQ Director<\/b>
\nBrand new to the speaking circuit, Robert provides a unique insight into the very latest developments in cyber security, cyber defense and counter-terrorism. As GCHQ Director, he was responsible for the UK\u2019s cyber strategy and last year established the National Cyber Security Centre. He covers all cyber security topics, from what boards should do to meet threats to the state of cyber activity now.<\/p>\n

Sir John Sawers<\/a><\/b>, Former Chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6)<\/b>
\nSir John Sawers looks at the current cyber threats, the policy of cyber security, the likelihood of a wide-scale attack, the need for an international response to these attack, and what organisations can do to protect themselves. He also shares insights on privacy versus security concerns, and how audiences should be managing that balance in their own businesses.<\/p>\n
