Overview

Aura’s team of ethical hackers conduct regular penetration tests for businesses to help identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cyber-criminals.   

In this director deep dive, Aura Information Security GM Patrick Sharp, will introduce  Mike Haworth, Principal Security Consultant at Aura Information Security, to share his experience as an ethical hacker.  Mike will discuss how cyber-criminals are evolving in this rapidly changing threat landscape with particular emphasis on cloud security.  This is an opportunity to ask a security strategist what they are seeing plus understand practical steps you can take to assess the risk of cyber breaches to your business. 

Directors' Deep Dive events are smaller interactive discussion-style sessions where you will be encouraged to ask questions and actively contribute your perspectives.
