By GlobalDataAfter grilling representatives from the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter yesterday, the committee will today hear evidence from tech giants Amazon, Apple and Microsoft, as well as Alan Davidson, vice president of Global Policy, Trust and Security for the Mozilla Foundation.

Modern Deterrence Conference tackles emerging threats
The Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies think tank will today host the Modern Deterrence Conference, which will focus on how the private sector, government and military can work together in the fight against hybrid warfare.

Attendees will hear from the likes of House of Commons Defence Committee member Ruth Smeeth, Managing Director of BT Security Kevin Brown, and founder and CEO of cybersecurity company Senseon Dave Atkinson. The conference will feature three sessions on policy, planning and exercises and crisis response.
The Modern Deterrence Conference is taking place at the Royal United Services Institute in London, England, starting at 9:30am local time.
