2. Cyber Security:
A Common Problem
Can you afford to be scared to do something
when it comes to cybersecurity?
In a world where our personal data is a currency of trust, the risk of not putting your investment in your
customers’ private information can cost you your hard-earned reputation. New technologies present great
opportunities for businesses to evolve. Opportunists with an appetite for cyber chaos are primed to take
advantage of the weaknesses in your cybersecurity strategy.

19. The journey to “security hell”
is paved with good intentions
1. Limbo
Do nothing except bury your head in the sand
and I am sure everything will be OK.
2. Lust
Continually lusting after other organisations’
security solutions.
3. Gluttony
Gorging on freebie security solutions
whilst disregarding real protection.
4. Greed
Taking in as many solutions as you possibly can
and creating management chaos.
5. Anger
Getting angry with the perpetrators and taking
your eye off the prize.
6. Heresy
Not believing the advice from
the experts.
7. Violence
Continuously breaking up what you
have built and starting again.
8. Fraud
Pretending you know what you
are doing.
9. Treachery
Sometimes the greatest threat
comes from within.

20. 2) Surround yourself with experts that can create layers of next
generation defenses around your critical infrastructure.
1) Is it time to move your Security to the Cloud?
5) Come and talk to Intercity Technology
3) Don’t Stand Still
4) Don’t Forget the Basics

44. So what have we learned?
• There are new techniques and attacks developing
• Basic protections cover the simple attacks very well!
• Most IT Professionals are not skilled enough in advanced
analysis
• Security solutions, assisted by Automation and AI let us
have that expert analyst anywhere our data may be
• AI is not perfect, but it helps!
