Introductions

On February 6, 2025, a small conference titled „Afternoon on Internet Security“ will be held at the headquarters of ISNIC Katrínartúni. This conference will start at 13:00 and conclude by 16:30. ICANN organizes this conference with the title „Afternoon on Internet Security.“

Our main man, Siggi Bjarnason, is among the speakers at this mini-conference. His presentation is on how penetration testing fits into a good security program and what else might be needed. Our blog titled Cybersecurity Consultancies Types can provide meaningful context.
