In plain English
This announcement details who will present at the new conference rather than reporting a security breach or software vulnerability. Filigran is launching a dedicated platform for experts to share knowledge about defending against cyber threats. The programme aims to balance high-level strategic discussions with practical, hands-on sessions. This approach allows attendees to gain both theoretical insights and actionable technical advice from industry leaders.
The background
The event will be hosted at Les Jardins de Saint-Dominique, a venue in Paris. IT Security Guru reports that the conference is free to attend, lowering barriers for industry participation. The speaker list includes notable names such as Accenture, a global professional services company, and Centrica, an energy provider. Thales Group, a major aerospace and defence contractor, is also confirmed to participate.
What changes now
The inclusion of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the speaker line-up suggests a strong emphasis on law enforcement perspectives and public-private collaboration. By combining corporate speakers with government agencies, Filigran aims to provide a holistic view of the current threat landscape. Managed service providers and IT teams can use this event to understand emerging trends and defence strategies directly from those on the front lines.
What to do and how to stay safe: Filigran
- Review your organisation’s attendance policy to determine if staff can attend free industry conferences for professional development.
