We have two experts from the field giving short talks and taking Q&A's and we've asked them to provide a short bio. Have a read below. :)
Andrea Manning
I provide GDPR and Cybersecurity consulting and training for SMEs and Startups. I am currently on the Enterprise Ireland funded accelerator program New Frontiers developing CyberPie. CyberPie is a Saas product that delivers micro tasks along with a knowledge base of tools and resources to support the unique needs of the microbusiness owner to build security and compliance into their business in as little as 5 minutes a week.
My superpower is demystifying GDPR and Cybersecurity by making them personal and relevant. GDPR and Cybersecurity are essential components of every business, regardless With many years spent in both the corporate world and the entrepreneurial world, I see the great divide between the two and how the small business sometimes lacks access to the knowledge and resources that are taken for granted in larger enterprises.

I provide security services & security training to organisations of all sizes, my strong background in both development & System/Network Administration provides a great view on how best to both compromise and secure required services & applications.
The majority of my work involves working with companies to perform penetration & security testing, test and improve secure coding practices and provide security consultancy to companies that are keen to improve their processes & procedures.
I have great experience in developing & implementing efficient and effective practices across all sections of an organisation to assist with securing and retaining external quality recognition such as ISO27001, CyberEssentials and CSA STAR.
I help your company to understand their current security posture, their future goals and outlining how to achieve those goals. This includes working with companies on a long-term basis using coaching and mentoring techniques to help drive process improvement and provide external feedback.
