This year's Dragon's Den event will be looking at ways to help bring the gap between emerging vulnerabilities/threats and the ever increasing complexity of systems, both of which are taking an alarming hockey-stick trend.

We welcome the Earl of Erroll from the House of Lords, Peter Wood from First Base Technologies and Chris Phillips, ex-Head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office as keynote speakers.

In the Dragon's Den event, ten security software/solution vendors battle it out for the best Speaker and best Product prizes, as voted by the audience. We offer each vendor a 10 minute speaking pitch to tell us what makes their product the best, in a fast-paced and lively environment.  This unique format enables delegates to understand existing and emerging technologies on the market, and each Dragon will have a stand so you can find out more about their solutions.

After hours, we will enjoy a networking drinks reception on deck and sample the British weather at it's finest!
