PwC Luxembourg has announced that there will be more time this year to gain insights about cybersecurity and privacy as Cybersecurity Day 2020 becomes Cybersecurity Days, taking place from 26 to 29 October 2020.
 
For Cybersecurity Days 2020, which falls within the Luxembourg Cybersecurity Week, the focus will be on IT security to digital trust: how to help CISOs, DPOs and CEOs ensure they keep the organisation secure in a digital society.
 
Koen Maris, Director and Cybersecurity Leader at PwC Luxembourg, explained: “Given the current environment of uncertainty due to COVID-19, PwC Luxembourg has made the decision to extend the time frame, offering participants the opportunity to attend the 2020 PwC Cybersecurity Days event digitally [...]. This will allow participants to hear from distinguished speakers from all over the world, representing a rich panel of thought leaders, with varying topics that have been picked according to the audience’s roles and interests, resulting in three unique and tailor-made agendas. The PwC Cybersecurity Days transforms constraints into opportunities. The virtual mode will allow for a bigger audience and for everyone to attend more sessions".
 
This year comes with a more focussed agenda, tailored over four days:
 
- CISO Corner⁠ (26 to 29 October) will offer information security experts the chance to gain technical updates, e-discover promising cybersecurity solutions and attend interactive workshops. International renowned speakers will focus on cybersecurity challenges they are facing in today's sophisticated digital world. Speakers include Philip Zimmerman, Teresa Fritschi, Ken Ducatel and Niek de Visscher
 
- DPO Corner (26 to 29 October) will offer DPOs and data privacy experts the chance to gain technical updates and attend interactive workshops.
