Introduction
The fourth industrial revolution and the digital age bring new challenges for societies, policy-makers, businesses, and everyday citizens like us. Cyber security is one of those new arenas: Hackers are finding new ways of stealing or disrupting our data and it has become virtually impossible for security solutions to detect and prevent it all. The question is, how can we protect ourselves from cyber threats whilst protecting our privacy?
That's why on Wednesday 8 February 2017 The Fourth Group will host a talk and workshop in London on cyber security.

Nick Hawkins: “When I delivered my first full day cyber security workshop it was, to my surprise, to the Metropolitan Police Cyber Crime Unit. I later found out that my colleagues next door were placing bets on at what point I would be arrested! Thankfully, I made it out...”
