ICBCS 2016 - International Conference on Business and Cyber Security (ICBCS) London-UK

It gives us immense pleasure to inform you that the Centre for Innovative leadership Navigation will be hosting an International Conference on Business and Cyber Security in London-UK . To date the vast majority of businesses have viewed cyber security as a peripheral issue that is the primary concern of the IT Department. Whilst this mind set is unlikely to change radically any time soon, there is a growing appreciation that businesses need to be far more proactive. Foresight planning, bespoke training and whole staff awareness are essential if the appropriate systems and procedures are to be put in place that will stand a chance of thwarting those with nefarious intentions. Where once academia and business had little interaction, there is a growing realisation that it is imperative that research and practical insights are exchanged and thus International Conference on Business & Cyber Security (ICBCS) has come into being, as a an annual forum for just such knowledge sharing.
Whilst globalisation, the Internet and new technology platforms have afforded the world of business a wealth of exciting opportunities, it is equally true that they have also provided those of a criminal bent with innumerable new roots in to deceive, defraud, intimidate, threaten and destroy. Criminality in the cybersphere appears to be growing at an exponential rate and is a cause for legitimate concern. This academic conference seeks both to raise awareness and enable practitioners and researchers from across the globe to come together with a view to gaining a greater understanding. The organisers envisage that ICBCS will provide a conducive environment in which to forge purposeful partnerships, as well as being a conduit by which innovative and ground breaking research is brought into the public realm.
We invite academic researchers in the field of business and cyber security and other related areas such as foresight planning, public policy, and social and behavioural sciences, as well as companies, industry consultants, analysts and practitioners to attend ICBCS 2016. Please note that the ICBCS conference will be an annual event that will alternate between being held in London and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
