Titania will be exhibiting for its fourth year and we would recommend Infosecurity Europe as a key show for both independent and corporate Penetrations Testers. Not only will it give you a good overview of the tools your customers are using to manage their systems, but you will also gain invaluable information on the latest business critical issues and hot topics.

You can register for FREE entry and there’s plenty of value in attending:

The security professionals “intelligence boot camp”

Seminars are delivered at all levels and include industry focussed topics in both business and technical areas. The keynote theatre is a great place to update on global trending topics and you’ll find both high level guest speakers and strategic end-user panel discussions.

Hot topics for 2013 included application security, business continuity and digital forensics, encryption, managing the human factor, compliance, identity access management, network infrastructure and secure transactions. Whatever current problems are keeping your customers awake at night, you can be sure that the seminars, workshops and keynote theatre will leave you armed with both the issues at hand AND the industry’s best practice advice.

Hundreds of key vendors, thousands of products and services

Infosecurity Europe is on a growth streak and had over 13,000 visitors last year (ABC audited).

Visitors range from SME’s to large multinationals and from diverse market sectors.

It’s no surprise that leading security vendors choose InfoSec to showcase their latest and greatest innovations.

In a fast paced industry it’s important that, as a security professional, you are able to review your security choice, method and message against the current security marketplace.

Are you getting best value, is there a leaner more efficient way of achieving your current requirements, are you still “ahead of the curve”?

If you’re happy with your current choices it’s also a great opportunity to get an update on the latest features from your current product vendors AND iron out any niggling operability questions! In 2013 there were over 350 key security vendors at Infosecurity Europe, so there’s no better opportunity to see what’s on offer and build some new business contacts.

Multiple Networking Opportunities

Through the exhibition, seminars and workshops, you’ll have the opportunity to network with peers from other sectors, often gaining new and fresh insights into common threat areas.

Many of Titania’s customers are Penetration Testers (who use Nipper Studio to improve their ROI on configuration reviews). Their first-hand experience is that InfoSec is a great B2B opportunity and not to be missed.

If you make it to Infosecurity Europe this year, stop by our stand (G25). We’d love to hear what you think of the show and would be happy to show you our latest products and updates!
