Conference – Page 5 – Cyber Security Leadership

KPMG’s Cyber Security Open Evening

I’m sharing client case studies at the KPMG’s Cyber Security Open Evening.

At KPMG we believe that cyber security is about what you can do – not what you can’t. Far from being a pure technical fix which can paralyse a company, we focus on driving change and helping our clients secure the future of their business. That’s why we’re still growing.

We have talented people with a passion for fighting the cyber threat. Come along to our open evening to speak to our specialist teams, who will be showcasing our insights and debating topical issues.

Come and see what the industry’s leading Cyber Security team are working on at KPMG’s Cyber Security Open Evening, Wednesday 28 May from 6pm at KPMG, 15 Canada Square, London E14 5GL.
