It will include discussions on the most recent innovations in business intelligence, best practices for security analysis, global cyber-security threats and the impact of social media in security and intelligence management.

Considered by many as the ‘Davos of Intelligence’, the event will run over three days, attracting people from the business community, academia, security specialists, technology companies, and global corporations as well as government representatives and those involved in the area of business intelligence.
Kevin Giblin, executive manager at Mercyhurst College Ireland, said: “The forum has an incredible line-up of expert speakers that will provide the latest insights and innovations in security, business intelligence, data management and the use of technology to counter criminal and intelligence threats.
“This is a unique opportunity to engage with leaders on diverse topics such as corporate risk management, advanced data analysis, anticipatory intelligence, cybercrime and real-time forensic analysis, among others.”
Garda Commissioner Noirín O’Sullivan will also address the event along with recent White House official for cybersecurity, Howard Schmidt, and former director of the US Secret Service Lewis Merletti.
Moderated by Dean James Breckenridge of The Ridge School, forum participants will also hear from Europol’s strategic analyst for the European Cybercrime Centre Jaroslav Jakubcek, Nama chairman Frank Daly, and several academics, among them Liam Fahey of Babson College; Matt Whelan and Stefan Hyman of the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Patrick Gibbons of UCD.
