The future of safety technology – creating a safer online world for all

Hosted by The Safety Tech Innovation Network, Crisp & DCMS

“Cybersecurity focuses on protecting data, information, networks and systems.

Cyber safety, or safety tech, focuses on protecting what it is to be human online. It focuses on protecting people online.” 

– Professor Mary Aiken, Cyberpsychologist

 

Across the world a new wave of companies are developing a huge variety of innovative products and services that help businesses better protect their online users from harm. As our online digital life continues to grow, Safety Tech products and solutions that protect us when we use online services and communities will soon become vital and central components of innovation in digital and online technology. 

But what should the future look like for this to be a success?

In this session run by the Safety Tech Innovation Network, Crisp and DCMS, we’ll discuss and highlight the future benefits of a well-established safety tech sector. Where are we on this journey? Where are we heading? What does the ideal world really look like for the sector from both the provider and the end-user perspective? What difference will it make to the online lives of UK and global citizens?

During the event you will have a chance to discuss some of the key themes for the safety tech sector’s future and speak directly with other businesses during the networking session.

 

Who should attend:

– Entrepreneurs and teams from digital business that create and deploy online communities and forums.
