The Department of Computer Science, University of Nicosia and RISEtech Media (www.DisruptCyprus.com) invite you to a unique session on cryptosecurity innovations.

We invite all our fintech, financial and nonfinancial related friends to a unique event on cryptosecurity innovations and the use of blockchain technology in different applications. Everyone is talking about blockchain, the new technology in the FinTech Industry. The concept of blockchain has energized the financial services industry globally. The concept has already brought a disruption in the financial industry.

Our goal is to bring you an overview, technology, application areas and use cases of blockchain. We will explore use cases where blockchain technologies can be applied to either improve existing processes or unlock new technologies. In other words, what type of applications can we build using blockchain technologies? From a new type of money (i.e. cryptocurrency) to powering your digital identity in the internet-of-things, the blockchain technology application stack is the engine powering these new innovations.
