The value of data and strength of security

Located on the former Soesterberg airbase, the birthplace of Dutch aviation, the National Military Museum (NMM) is a gigantic building as vast as the countryside that surrounds it. This is a place where the past, present, and future of the armed forces come to life. Before the event begins, you have the opportunity to visit the museum, so make sure to sign up to the event to receive your pass and explore the exhibitions you want to at your own pace.

Our host, Gijs van der Putten, opens the security event, guiding you through the agenda, introducing the speakers, and setting the stage with some challenging questions and current security issues.

If anyone has experience in the field of security, it’s Don Eijndhoven. As CISO, he’s advised organisations around the globe. His academic background includes a Master’s degree in crisis and security management, a Bachelor’s degree in IT, and several certifications from the Nyenrode Business University where he is also a guest lecturer. His articles on cybersecurity are regularly published and he is often found speaking at international conferences like Hacker Halted Miami and the NATO CCDCOE Cyber Conflict Conference.

In 2011, he founded the Dutch Cyber Warfare Community, a non-profit network organisation with more than 2,500 members from the Dutch military, government, and financial sectors. Don’s extensive knowledge and experience make him an unmissable keynote speaker, providing insights into current security challenges and developments.

What would happen if we consolidated top companies' security expertise? In this unique session, we’ll dive into the collective thinking of the Dutch security world with familiar faces giving us valuable insights into how things really are, and share real stories and dilemmas. How are others approaching the increasing dependency on non-European security solutions? Under the guidance of our host, we’ll discuss topics such as digital sovereignty, data governance and compliance and security policies. These discussions are grounded in practical experience and driven by urgency to foster a sense of connection.

Since 2006, Secwatch has been operating on the principle of fighting fire with fire, coming at security threats from a hacker’s perspective as it’s the only way to achieve 100% protection against security threats.

Speaker Ehsan Razaghi, Senior Ethical Hacker, will demonstrate how to conduct pen tests to uncover corporate security vulnerabilities.

In part 2, we will take a closer look at how organisations handle data governance, with compliance (think NIS2) and enforce policies in a digital reality. How can we incorporate the entire DMU into the process? More real-life stories will be brought to life through inspirational personal accounts from trailblazers and experts will take the stage to reveal what works, what still needs to be ironed out and where more collaboration is needed. Experience an open, dynamic discussion where we’ll work on a better security policy together.

Once the last insights have been shared and the panel determines that the moment has come to look to the future... ....it's time for networking drinks in the museum, where you’ll have the opportunity to talk with other IT experts and the speakers about the challenges and solutions raised. Because when it comes to security, together is better.
