When discussing security it is often difficult to add kudos to what we do as no client wants their solution broadcasting. This event gives us the opportunity.

The IT Security Forum was a professional organised event from start to finish with some excellent keynote speech's and technical discussions. Definitely a worthwhile event for anyone that takes security seriously.

A well organised event in very comfortable surroundings. The keynote speakers were superb, the workshops thought provoking and one-to-one meetings with vendors pitched at the right level. The networking opportunities were second to none. I can honestly recommend The IT Security Forum.
