Dundee is hosting Scotland’s largest cyber-security conference.
Securi-Tay V, which is entirely organised by Ethical Hacking students, is taking place at Abertay University over the weekend.
Around 300 students and experts from education, industry and law enforcement organisations have gathered for the conference.
Jamie Smith, president of Abertay Ethical Hacking Society, said: “Securi-Tay is now well established as a key fixture on the information security calendar, attracting companies interested in speaking to and recruiting the best graduates. We’re delighted to be able to build on this for 2016 and extend the conference over two days, allowing much more discussion of the major issues facing the industry.”
Colin McLean, programme tutor and creator of the UK’s first ethical hacking degree at Abertay, said: “There is high demand for our highly skilled ethical hacking graduates, resulting in many securing job offers from major companies well before they complete their studies.
“Information security is a critical part of running a successful business.”
