High turnout and positive feedback at the Security Update Event.
On Thursday, June 20th, we hosted the third edition of the Security Update Event, which was once again a great success. With a high turnout and various informative sessions, the event was well received by both attendees and speakers. Linda van Ruth-Prijs, CCO at The S-Unit, looks back enthusiastically on the event: "It was a great event, with a high turnout, and we are pleased with the result. Of course, there are a few areas for improvement, but we are actually really happy with that. This event will definitely be held annually, and the quality must meet everyone's expectations."
The Security Advisors at The S-Unit also shared their experiences of the event. A new advisor mentioned: "I’m new at The S-Unit, and this was my first Security Update Event. I’m very pleased with the quality and the feedback we received from our clients. I saw everyone leave with information, a big smile, and a satisfied look, which was great to see. I’m looking forward to next year." Another advisor added: "A successful event with a high turnout. It was great to see all our clients gathered together like this."
Feedback from participants at the Security Update Event
Participants at the Security Update Event also responded enthusiastically to the various sessions and the event as a whole. "I'm completely up to date now," said one of the attendees. Another commented, "Trend News & Insights are definitely interesting," and someone else added, "It's good to be reminded of the facts again." The open and accessible sessions were appreciated, as one participant emphasized: "Open and accessible, easy-to-follow sessions."
"I’m really interested in all the trends happening in the market," said another participant. Despite clients already knowing The S-Unit, the topics discussed remained interesting for everyone: "I now also know what Red Teaming is! Very interesting," shared one attendee. With a wide range of sessions to choose from, one participant found it difficult to decide: "It was hard to choose between the sessions."
