IRISSCERT holds an annual conference themed on cyber crime in November. This is an all day conference which focuses on providing attendees with an overview of the current cyber threats facing businesses in Ireland and what they can do to help deal with those threats.

Experts on various aspects of cyber crime and cyber security share their thoughts and experiences with attendees, while a number of panel sessions will provide the opportunity to discuss the issues that matter most.

The conference will be open to anyone with the responsibility for securing their business information assets. There is no charge for those who wish to attend.

The IRISS Annual Conference is an opportunity to not only increase your knowledge but also to meet and network with your peers in a relaxed environment.

In parallel to the conference, IRISS also hosts Ireland's premier Cyber Security Challenge, HackEire, to identify Ireland's top cyber security experts who compete against each other in a controlled environment to see who will be the first to exploit weaknesses in a number of systems and declare victory. The purpose of the HackEire competition is to demonstrate how attackers could gain access to your systems and allow you to learn from the event on how to prevent such attacks from impacting your network.
