SOURCE Dublin Wrap-Up Day #1

There are so many security conferences around the world… Some people already debated about this: Is it better to restrict the annual agenda to well-known events or let people start their own? IMHO, we need initiatives like this. It’s good to have a broad agenda with local conferences where local
