Scotland’s largest cyber security conference, organised by ethical hacking students, took place at Abertay University on Friday.
Around 300 delegates discussed the latest security threats, techniques to hide malware and weaknesses in online sales at the fourth annual Securi-Tay conference.
Dom Cashley, president of Abertay Ethical Hacking Society, said: “Over the last few years, Securi-Tay has established itself as a key fixture on the information security calendar, attracting companies interesting in speaking and recruiting the best graduates.
“I’m particularly pleased to have the support of major security organisations like GCHQ, NCC Group, Portcullis and Tenable Network Security, showing the extremely high quality of the education right here at Abertay.”
Colin McLean, programme tutor and creator of the UK’s first ethical hacking degree at Abertay, added: “The students organising Securi-Tay have once again done a great job attracting internationally renowned speakers and sponsors.”
