The inaugural Armour Group Experience took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Lincoln on Thursday 17th October. Delivered by specialists in cyber security, social engineering and digital forensics, the day was a glimpse inside the often murky world of online crime, with the aim of empowering attendees with the knowledge they need to keep themselves, their families and businesses safer online.
The event started with the tragic story of Molly Russell, who was just 14 years old when she committed suicide after viewing images of self-harm on Instagram, and online posts encouraging her depressive thoughts. Molly’s father Ian bravely spoke about his struggle to understand the reasons behind the tragedy, his shock at discovering the content Molly had been exposed to online, and his fight to improve online protections, so that Molly’s story cannot be repeated.
