Ask the Expert - Cyber Security and Ticketing
Wednesday 25th - 9:15am
Derby Suite
We’ve excited to bring BBC News Cyber Correspondent Joe Tidy to TPC for a session you can't afford to miss.
In conversation with our CEO Barnaby, Joe will draw on his reporting of major ransomware and phishing attacks - what happens when defences fail, and how organisations respond under pressure.
This session sets the scene for a practical follow-on session with our CEO Barnaby - From Risk to Resilience. It takes place immediately after this session, translating these frontline lessons into the realities of ticketing operations.

Our Head of Community, Emily, will be posing these questions to a panel of three very different venues.
