What we learnt from the FBI's former most wanted hacker, Kevin Mitnick

Day One of the free-to-attend event opened with a keynote speech from Kevin Mitnick, the world’s most famous hacker who formerly took the top spot on the FBI’s Most Wanted list.

Mitnick spoke in front a packed audience, educating them on the realities of the cyber security landscape.

Speaking about why visitors should attend the event more broadly, Mitnick said: “You’re going to get a lot of valuable information from people who deal with these issues head-on on a daily basis.”

Other high-profile seminars included from Mike Hobday of IBM Watson on the future and AI; James Akrigg of Microsoft, on today’s challenging business environments; Matt McNeill of Google, on how Google are building for the future; and a panel discussion on the future of IoT.
