Q3 Recap @ Servaplex

As we arrvie into the final few months of 2024 it’s time to recap what has been a very busy and successful Q3 for us here at Servaplex. We were busy at the Cyber Security Summit, there were big product updates and even though we’ve been busy on the event circuit we still have a few more to attend before 2024 is done. Get the full update below now.

Cyber Security Summit 2024 Recap

This year’s Cyber Security Summit at Croke Park brought together industry leaders, government officials, and cybersecurity experts to tackle the most pressing challenges within digital security. Servaplex was delighted to work alongside ManageEngine, showcasing top-notch IT management solutions and demonstrating how our products can keep up with the ever-evolving demands of modern cyber resilience. We also had the opportunity to talk to the delegates about how important it is to have integrated cybersecurity solutions to protect essential systems and ensure compliance with NIS2 and DORA.

Engaging Presentations and Key Takeaways

One of the key highlights of the summit was the presentation by Lakshmi Srinivasan, a ManageEngine IT Security Solutions Expert. Lakshmi’s talk on “Enhancing Security Monitoring in Critical Infrastructure for NIS2 Compliance” provided everyone with crucial knowledge on navigating the current cybersecurity landscape. The positive feedback from attendees emphasised the relevance of the topics discussed and the need for continued engagement in cyber strategy.

There was a talk by Ossian Smyth, Minister of State for Public Expenditure and Reform, as well as Environment, Climate, and Communications. Ossian stopped by our stand to hear about our cybersecurity solutions. It was great to have the opportunity to share our thoughts on the most pressing issues within cyber security. It was great to see government involvement in cyber security discussions around strategies and industry best practices, highlighting the significance of collaboration in safeguarding critical infrastructure. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in relevant conversations and share their experiences, which enriched the overall experience.

Looking Ahead: Upcoming Events

We are looking forward to the final events of the year. In October, the Site24x7 team will be exhibiting at the SRECon24 event in the Convention Centre Dublin from the 29th to the 31st, where they will be joined by Tim from Servaplex, who will be on the stand to assist. SRECon24 is a gathering of engineers focused on site reliability, systems engineering, and managing distributed systems at scale. This is another great opportunity to talk to people from our team in person!

Additionally, we look forward to the HEAnet Conference will take place from 6th to 8th November at the Great Southern Hotel in Killarney. With over 400 participants expected, this conference will be a fantastic platform for networking, collaboration, and learning within the education and research sector. We will be at Stand 15, where Aoife, Tim, and Gerry will be ready to share their knowledge with attendees.

Thank you for being part of our journey towards a more secure future.
