Privacy Statement

About Privacy and LSEC

Privacy is the future Security.
Information Security and Security has a lot to do about the protection of systems, architectures and finally also the information that is flowing and being kept on those architectures.
A lot of this information has to do with persons, both natural and companies. In Europe, there has been a tradition in protection the private lives of people already for ages. It is one of the key fundamentals of our European Society. However, changing over time, we still continue to want to preserve our privacy as much as possible. Even when in the beginning of the 21st century, we're not too sure what the business model behind the protection of personal data is about, it is being considered as a fundamental right for any citizen to preserve his or her privacy.
Obviously today, with surveillance camera's everywhere, with digital communications that are being stored at least somewhere once, with the frequent use of miles and collection points, with our email addresses being asked almost once a day by complete strangers, which will be stored and traded in places that we are not even aware about, the least that we should consider towards the future is how to allow the preservation of this privacy and allow the citizen to choose whether his or her data needs to be shared with others.
Without too much complexity and ingeniousness, also we at LSEC will protect your privacy and your personal data. Your records are being stored safely, encrypted and are not being shared, unless you agreed us to do so for commercial or other reasons.
You are always welcome to contact us to remove, change or transfer any of your personal data, which you require us to process, by contacting us by datamanagement@lsec.be

LSEC International liasons and Partners

LSEC International Partners and Affiliates

LSEC is constantly exploring collaboration opportunities with other markets and international expertise.
Most of the LSEC activities are taking place in Belgium, hence our specific relations both to the community of companies specialized in Information Security products and services and to the people and communities from many companies of experts working in a variety of vertical markets such as Finance, Telecom, ICT, Government, Media, Healthcare, Industry, Pharma, ... Collectively LSEC reaches out on a frequent basis to almost 4000 individuals, with a specific interest in Information Security.

Besides all of our local activities, LSEC and its Expert Members are frequently present at events of our international partners, and reversely. We have established a mutual exchange of Experts and expertise on a number of topics which are of interest to our specific communities. There are participants of seminars, conferences, workshops, working groups and special interest groups from all Members across the different communities, being either more on a regional, or on a thematic level.

Hereby a short overview of some of the international partners :

KTN Cybersecurity - UK
The Cyber Security KTN is be the single focal point for UK Cyber Security expertise, to collaboratively identify universal challenges and develop effective response, influence UK investment strategy and government policy, accelerate innovation and education, harness and promote UK capability internationally and help improve the UK security baseline.
The UK already possesses a wealth of cyber security expertise, within industry, academia and government, but the effort is fragmented and focused on point solutions by technologies and sectors. Only by joining together can we understand the breadth and depth of the cyber security challenge essential to planning effective protection and response. We need to provide a UK-wide focus to address challenges holistically; identifying the gaps in the work already being undertaken across the community and planning how to bridge them; unifying the pool of UK expertise in a manner which amplifies the efforts of the community and makes the results more accessible to all.
