Experience Sharing Forum UK

A year ago mnemonic gathered the UK cybersecurity family for a successful Experience Sharing Forum at The Royal Norwegian Ambassador's Residence. No sales or marketing. Strictly experience sharing amongst peers in the security community.

We’re excited to bring our Experience Sharing Forum back to the UK - this time in the more intimate setting of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s private members bar in London. Twenty of the UK’s most prominent figures in cybersecurity will gather for discussions around the most up to date Threat Intelligence, networking and a guided Whisky Tasting through a flight of the Society’s finest malt Whisky.

18:00 to 18:15	Registration and Welcome A chance to catch up with peers and reacquaint yourself with some of the UK’s top cybersecurity practitioners.
18:15 to 19:00	Threat Intelligence Briefing – What we have seen from the last six months on the ground with Per Morten Sandstad, Team Manager for Threat Intelligence, mnemonic Threat intelligence is a crucial part of both identifying and understanding threats that have either not yet occurred, or have gone unnoticed due to a lack of knowledge about the threat. In this presentation, Per Morten Sandstad talks about the importance of gathering intelligence, and shares some of the most pertinent threats, trends and developments mnemonic’s Threat Intelligence team have discovered looking back at the last six months. Per Morten holds more than 20 years of experience as a security researcher, and from working with incident response and threat intelligence. Before joining mnemonic, he was part of establishing the Nordic Financial CERT, where he headed up their threat intelligence work and supported the financial industry and their incident response teams.
19:00-19:15	Break
19:15-20:15	Panel: Determining the need for, and utilising Threat Intelligence By asking the general question “what does my opponent intend” we will probably get different answers from different sources. Defining the need for intel may seem easy at first. However, defining the means, methods and partners you need is under no circumstances simple, as the use-case often evolves based on the information gathered. In this interactive panel, we will discuss why we gather intelligence and how, but also how we communicate the results and support meaningful decision making across the organisation.
20:15-21:00	Single Cask Whisky Tasting and Charcuterie Boards The Scotch Malt Whisky Society will walk us through four of their best single malt whiskies, accompanied by some delicious cheese and meats. There will be a chance to explore each dram, and ask the whisky expert any questions you may have.
21:00 – 22:00	Networking A chance to catch up with peers around the panel, debrief and discuss the major issues of the day in a more intimate environment.
