Some statistics

If you look at the data collected by analysts, it becomes obvious that the industry needs
new approaches to security. For example, from 2015 to 2018, the volume of data that enterprises must manage increased from 1.45 to 9.70 petabytes. At the same time, global losses from cybercrime reached $ 600 billion a year. The attackers manage to more successfully bypass traditional data protection systems and cybersecurity solutions. As a result, the risks of organizations around the world are constantly growing.

The conference will discuss the integration of data protection and cybersecurity technologies, as well as the creation of complete systems of complete cyber security, ensuring the safety, availability, confidentiality, authenticity and security of data. The so-called SAPAS strategy, which includes all five cyber defense vectors, will be the focus of experts and industry leaders who will discuss how to ensure more effective cyber security for all categories of data, applications and systems. Indeed, according to analysts' forecasts, by 2024 the market for information security systems will grow to $ 300 billion.
