The estimated cost of cyber-crime is said to reach $10.5 Trillion by 2025.<br><br>At face value, at least some of the cyber-crime prevention initiatives show deficit results. At almost all levels of cyber security there is repeated evidence that cyber-crime is more successful than cyber-crime prevention.<br><br>The dawn of the information age has also ushered in a whole new theatre of cyber-warfare and domestic security threats requiring a balanced responses between connectivity, utility, and protection.<br>These are some of the key issues we wish to explore as part of our upcoming September ACS Think Tank.

Thomas Gerald Cleary

Thomas Gerald Cleary

Tom is a long time Cyber Security professional and has had a varied career in ICT. He firmly believes that the default answer for security questions should be Yes, but... Having worked in commercial, public, large, small and restricted environments he has seen most of the mistakes it is possible to make in enforcing security theatre. He firmly believes that shouting and waving hands doesnt help things improve. Making sure that people who make decisions are fully informed (preferably practitioners with requisite experience) is the only way to make sure we reduce the number of expensive Cyber mistakes that are made.
