The
People Issue & Culture of Security
9:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m
Recognizing that human behavior remains both a primary vulnerability and a frontline defense against cyber threats In the face of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, organizations need to effectively cultivate a culture of cybersecurity awareness and responsibility among employees at all levels. IT departments are therefore being challenged to strike a balance between implementing stringent security measures and maintaining accountability and building a culture of security, innovation and collaboration.
The
Business of Risk Mitigation
12:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Conducting
cybersecurity risk assessments is imperative for companies to adeptly identify
and prioritize their most critical cyber risks. Without this proactive
approach, organizations risk overlooking vulnerabilities that could lead to
devastating cyber incidents. By systematically evaluating their cybersecurity
posture, businesses can strategically allocate resources and implement targeted
defenses to mitigate the most significant threats, enhancing their overall
security posture and resilience against cyberattacks. In light of the dynamic
nature of cyber threats and the competing resource demands organizations
encounter, organizations cannot also ignore risk quantification techniques such
as probabilistic modeling and scenario analysis, to empower its decision makers
to strategically allocate resources for the most effective mitigation of cyber
risks.

There is the proliferation of cybersecurity challenges and vulnerabilities associated with managing and securing interconnected networks as critical infrastructure becomes more reliant on interconnected IoT devices. Organizations must therefore implement viable strategies to ensure the resilience and continuity of operations in the face of cyber attacks, physical tampering, and other potential disruptions to these vital systems. Let's face it also, organisations cannot also completely replace legacy systems at once, therefore best practices must be employed in order for organizations to effectively integrate older technologies into IoT environments to ensure compatibility, security, and optimal performance and mitigate cybersecurity risks.
Cyber
Defense and Proactive Threat Intelligence from AI & ML Techniques
2:40 p.m. - 3:40 p.m.
In the
ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, organizations need to stay ahead by
utilizing advanced analytics, AI and Machine Learning techniques not just for
defense, but also for proactive threat intelligence gathering and predictive
analytics to anticipate and prevent future attacks. The potential limitations,
challenges and risks associated with relying on these technologies must
therefore be explored. As AI continues to advance, organizations also need to
ensure that ethical considerations are also integrated into the development and
deployment of AI-powered cybersecurity solutions, particularly in terms of data
privacy, bias mitigation, and accountability.
Crisis Management and Incident Response
3:40 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
The presentations will cover best practices for mitigating damage, minimizing risk, and restoring reputations during crises, focusing on crafting impactful messaging and combating misinformation. Key topics include the importance of proactive incident response through collaboration among IT teams, legal counsel, law enforcement, and third-party vendors to enhance resilience and risk management. It will highlight the necessity of coordination among stakeholders to reduce response times and analyze real-world case studies to identify essential components of effective incident response plans.
