Reducing “Human Error” In Complex IT Systems and Infrastructure

David Cuthbertson, Square Mile Systems

Thursday 23 May 2019 19.00 for 19.30

Managing the complexity and interdependencies of IT systems is vital
for day to day management, as well as reducing the likelihood and
impact of cyber attacks. All best practice management frameworks, such
as ITIL, 27001, CoBit, and NIST, emphasise the importance of
understanding and managing IT systems complexity – but actually doing
it in practice is not simple. If you’d like to know why IT systems
continue to “fail” without faults or cyberattacks, then you’ll find
this talk very illuminating.

David Cuthbertson is CEO of Square Mile Systems Limited – a UK company
developing software and methods for documenting complex IT
environments in sectors such as finance, telecom, military and
transportation. He has been involved with developing best practice
methods for many years in service management, data centres and
distributed systems control working at committee level in UK and USA
trade associations.

This event is free of charge and open to all: refreshments at 19.00,
lecture at 19:30.
