It gives us immense pleasure to inform you that the Centre for Innovative leadership Navigation will be hosting an International Conference on Business and Cyber Security in London, UK. To date the vast majority of businesses have viewed cyber security as a peripheral issue that is the primary concern of the IT Department. Whilst this mind set is unlikely to change radically any time soon, there is a growing appreciation that businesses and individuals need to be far more aware and proactive. Foresight planning, bespoke training, and whole staff awareness are essential if the appropriate systems and procedures are to be put in place that will stand a chance of thwarting those with nefarious intentions. Where once academia and business had little interaction, there is a growing realization that it is imperative that research and practical insights are exchanged and thus the International Conference on Business & Cyber Security (ICBCS) has come into being, as an annual forum for just such knowledge sharing.
 

Whilst globalization, the Internet, and new technology platforms have afforded the world of business a wealth of exciting opportunities, it is equally true that they have also provided those of a criminal bent with innumerable new roots to deceive, defraud, intimidate, threaten and destroy. Criminality in the cybersphere appears to be growing at an exponential rate and is a cause for legitimate concern. This important conference seeks both to raise awareness and enable practitioners and researchers from across the globe to come together with a view to gaining a greater understanding. The organizers envisage that ICBCS will provide a conducive environment in which to forge purposeful partnerships, as well as being a conduit by which innovative and groundbreaking research is brought into the public realm.
