More details at https://eu.eventscloud.com/ehome/200190114/TNE19Foreword/ ACE was set up early in 2017 and is powered by Vivace, its industry community, to meet the Home Office’s requirement for mission-led innovation. It was established to bring industry and academia closer to government and law enforcement agencies, and stimulate the flow of innovative, agile and flexible solutions to problems in the digital communications space. This is a place/dateholder for the event – more details will be added as they become available! Brickhampton Golf Club Pre-meeting drinks 18:45 It has been said that “Software is eating the world” and this is reflected in our everyday environment as evidenced by John Lewis, who consider themselves a software company and noting that NETFLIX only exists in a virtual world. How does Defence operate securely, assuredly and ethically in such an environment? More pertinently, how does the Royal Signals get on the front foot when operating, delivering and maintaining capability whose software systems are secure by design, ethically constructed and provisioned at a pace which will deliver new software into the hands of the Warfighter to ensure mission success? An RSI Seminar addressing the above issues will be held on 21st November at the London headquarters of the National Cyber Security Centre 1020hrs -1630hrs. Speakers will include senior representatives from MOD, the NCSC and leading companies from Industry such as Microsoft, IBM, ESRI etc. Date: 21 Nov 2019 Registration: This event is free to RSI Members and AFCEA Members.
