Cybersecurity Unveiled with guest-speaker David Jacoby

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in France and Axis Communications are happy to invite you to an evening seminar on the topic “Cybersecurity unveiled - why are we becoming more vulnerable?” with guest-speaker: David Jacoby, Ethical Hacker and Cybersecurity expert.

The event will try to answer the question, “how did we end up in this vulnerable world, and why?” What will the future unfold for us and what can we do to proactively prevent cyber threats. We will also witness a live demonstration on the anatomy of cybercrime, what does it look like and what is the consequences of getting hacked? 

The event will cover the history of cybersecurity, what the future holds, and how you can work proactively to prevent cyber-attacks. David Jacoby will also demonstrate a live hack during the evening. 
 
David Jacoby has over 25 years of experience in professional ethical hacking and has won several awards both as a speaker and for his unique research and dedicated work to stop digital crime. He is also the founder of Sprinkler Security Sweden AB & Unbreached AB and has been a technical advisor to some of Sweden's most successful IT security companies. He has acted as an advisor to books such as David Lagercrantz's sequel to The Millennium Trilogy and has accumulated mentions in the books like "A Guide to Kernel Exploitation: Attacking the Core", "Generation 500", "Swedish Hackers", and most recently "Cybersecurity ABCs".

As part of his research, he has hacked his own home and demonstrated the importance of protecting our critical infrastructure. He has also shown how he could get into a fully updated Mac without any hacking tools. He is a known face on the television screen where he for example participated in several TV shows such as the Swedish television SVT's success “HACKAD_” where David Jacoby and three colleagues hacked Swedish companies live on the TV screen and showed the complexity and necessity in issues such as IT security.
