BRIDEX is one of the premier defence
and security events in South East Asia and takes place from
6-9 July 2011 at the BRIDEX International Conference Centre,
Jerudong, Negara Brunei Darussalam. The BRIDEX Conference
"Mapping Future Security and Technological Challenges"
takes place on 5 July during which experts from the regional
and international arena of defence and security will address
the future security environment and technological solutions
that can be adopted.
Among
the international speakers taking part in the conference
will be Graham Wright, vice president Intelligence and Cyber
Security, Northrop Grumman U.K. who will speak on the subject
of cyber warfare and security. Drawing upon his previous
experience in the military and within the government as
Deputy Director of the U.K. Office of Cyber Security, Graham
Wright will explore the issues of cyber threats and national
security and the interface with the roles and capabilities
of the military.
In
addition, Northrop Grumman will hold a series of cyber security
familiarisation seminars during BRIDEX aimed at providing
an insight into the challenges posed by cyber threats and
the importance of understanding and managing cyber security
issues. The seminars will be led by Tony Billington, a senior
member of Northrop Grumman's U.K.-based cyber security team
and will take place from 1000-1200 on each day of the show,
Wednesday 6 through Friday 8 July at the Jerudong Polo Club.
"Threats
to cyber security are one of the greatest challenges that
governments and civil organizations face today. The need
for good cyber security is a high priority for many countries
and cyber security education is rightly viewed as a key
enabler," said Paul Davison, vice president, Northrop
Grumman Information Systems Europe. "We are pleased
to be able to share our specialist knowledge and experience
in this domain to help raise the level of awareness of cyber
security issues among the Brunei defence and industry communities."
Backed
by more than 20 years of experience, Northrop Grumman is
a recognized thought leader and trusted provider of cyber
security solutions across every sector: intelligence, defence,
civil, commercial, and central and local government. Operationally,
the company has some of the most sophisticated cyber facilities
and high-end cyber offerings available.
In
2009, Northrop Grumman opened a new Cyber Security Operations
Centre (CSOC), a comprehensive cyber threat detection and
response centre that focuses on protecting Northrop Grumman
and its customers' networks and data worldwide. In 2010
the company opened the first commercially available federated

resilience testing of large scale networks, cyber diagnostics
and cyber team training.
