🎉 What a Day at the Science & Cyber Topsec Expo! 🎉 We had an incredible time at the Explorium yesterday. The agenda was packed, the discussions were insightful, and the day was full of networking and hands-on exploration, followed by a lovely lunch provided by Gravity Social Restaurant. "Can good AI keep us safe from bad AI?" was one of the questions asked at our fireside panel chat along with some other intriguing ones, that definitely fueled the need to have good defences in place, in this day and age. A big thank you to our amazing speakers— Nicola Emmett, Colm Healy, Gavin Roberts, and Niall Mackey—for sharing their expertise, and of course, to all our attendees for making the event a huge success. Here’s to more events filled with learning, collaboration, and innovation! Stay tuned for what’s next. 🚀 🤓 #TopsecExpo #Cybersecurity #EmailSecurity #Networking #Innovation
