IT Europa has announced that as a result of the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic Channel-Sec 2020, Europe’s leading security event for the channel, has been rescheduled and will now take place in London on 20 October 2020. Now in its second year, Channel-Sec is designed to help channel organisations keep up to date with evolving customer requirements, the latest technologies and security threats.

It’s time you did too – an examination and demonstration of how a global hack-as-a-service industry is evolving as criminals turn to the Dark Web to get off-the-shelf exploits, malware, and ransomware and some views on what the channel needs to do to mitigate against ransomware attacks.
