Strategies for handling conflict – understanding aggressive, passive/submissive, passive aggressive and assertive behaviour
2020 is a year that has changed the way we work forever. With businesses being forced to move their team to remote working, security is not something to be overlooked. Due to this, we at Breakwater IT have decided to bring our annual Cyber Security Conference forward and host it online! From the comfort of your living room or office chair, you’ll be able to tune in and hear from our exciting line-up of speakers. Keynote Speaker: FC (Freaky Clown) We’re excited to be joined by FC (also known as Freaky Clown). FC is a well-known ethical hacker and social engineer. He has been working in the information security field for over 20 years and excels at circumventing access controls. As an ethical hacker and social engineer, FC ‘breaks into’ hundreds of banks, offices and government facilities around the world. FC will be highlighting the change in mindset when working from home compared to an office or more secure location. He will be focusing on the type of attacks your business should be paying attention to, as well and how you protect yourself and your business. You don’t need to be an IT or security expert to attend. The aim of this conference is to educate and inspire change in the way you secure your business. Further details on the agenda will be revealed in the coming weeks. Links and details of how to join the conference will be sent closer to the event. Please ensure details used to register for the event are accurate.

Several academics at UEA have been contributing to research and intelligence support during the Covid19 crisis within the local health economy of Norfolk. Many local NHS and NCC representatives have said that they have found the contributions very helpful and that they have made a big impact on the response to the virus by the hospital executive teams, other local health providers and planners. The multidisciplinary research approach has been an excellent example of the role that universities can play in their local communities, fostering collaboration at the local level. To celebrate this work we will be running an 80 minute virtual event where some key academics will share their work and highlights with a wider audience.
The event will run with the following sessions:
What happened: Prof Ric Fordham
What we did: Pete Best, Dr George Xydopoulos, Tim Winters
What we found: Prof Paul Hunter, Prof Alastair Grant, Dr Carlota Grossi-Sampedro
What we learned: Prof Kristian Bowles, Dr Vassilious Vassiliou, Pete Best, Tim Winters
