Skjaldtorg: Iceland’s Cybersecurity Meetup

KS__Event-Banner-v2-980x551-Nov

It’s time for our second informal Icelandic forum for cybersecurity. Skjaldtorg: Iceland’s Cybersecurity Meetup, aimed at professionals responsible for cybersecurity within their organizations. This upcoming event provides an opportunity to gather in an informal setting, discuss the pressing challenges in cybersecurity, and exchange ideas on effective approaches.

With mounting cybersecurity challenges, we believe Iceland needs a forum where cybersecurity professionals can gather, share experiences, network, and collaborate. We were really pleased with the outcome of our meetup in September and we intend to make these events a regular series to foster a community of cybersecurity experts in Iceland.

We are really excited to bring onboard great speakers for this event and we are especially thankful that Philippe Langlois, co-founder of Qualys will join us in person at the meetup. 

Agenda Highlights:

  • Welcome to Skjaldtorg - Valdimar Óskarsson, CEO of Keystrike
  • Lightning talks session (5-8 min each):
    • Philippe Langlois, co-founder of Qualys and founder of P1 Security, will talk about 5G Critical Infrastructure Protection.
    • Lára Herborg Ólafsdóttir, from LEX, will discuss GDPR in the Cloud: Navigating Compliance in a Digital Sky
    • Jón Arnar Jónsson, from Jiko, will provide insights into Jiko Bank and their cloud journey - Security First: From Culture to Code
  • Expert panel on current cybersecurity issues: The panel participants will be the speakers as well as two other guests. The audience will have the chance to engage with the discussions and share their perspectives.
  • Networking: Following the talks, participants are invited to stay for a casual networking session, with light refreshments and a game of darts offered by Keystrike.
