Organisations need to take a forward-leaning proactive approach to cybersecurity. They need to minimise attacks by identifying them and responding to them before any damage is caused. Threat hunting requires the use of automation and AI to be effective. It also needs access to the best sources of threat intelligence.

The weight of cybercrime is taking its toll not only on CIO and CISOs. An overwhelming 96% of IT and Security leaders suffered significant emotional or psychological impact as they continue to face unending challenges in protecting their company’s data, according to a recent Wakefield Research report ‘The State of Data Security’ commissioned by Rubrik*.
While prevention is impossible, Businesses, Leaders, and the Customers they serve need certainty in their ability to recover critical services in a timely manner.
Join thought leaders from Rubrik along with a select group of your IT and security peers, as we discuss challenges, the human impact of cybercrimes on an organisation, and best practices moving forward to protect your people and your data infrastructure.
*New Rubrik data security survey: 99% of organisations reported a breach in the last year – and 72% paid a ransom; but, only 16% who paid recovered their data.

Mobile devices place the power of distributed information in the hands of many throughout the organisation, but how to overcome the challenges of reliable connectivity, information security and user downtime, to drive productivity?
As the number of mobile information workers in your organisation increases, so does the complexity of managing the device fleets ranging from mobile phones through tablets to field-based rugged devices and laptops. The combinations of device type, network, apps, user profiles, authorisation and authentication, and use cases, increase exponentially.
Mobile information workers and mobile technologies are not a new part of business – it’s now a mature part of organisations’ digital transformation. However, the tools, processes and systems to make mobile technology ‘just work’ are constantly evolving.
This session is a combination of current industry state-of-the-art mobile productivity enhancement, reinforced by a moderated discussion by an experienced thought leader, and the chance to hear directly from peers about issues faced, open questions and interesting experiences.

Join Stephen for an in-depth session where he’ll challenge the conventional wisdom that a business-aligned cybersecurity strategy is the ultimate solution. Despite the widespread belief and significant support from top management, experience tells him that the path remains fraught with challenges and frustrations, even with a strategy that seems perfectly aligned.
Stephen will explore the critical, yet often overlooked, element of empathy.
He will discuss how even the most well-aligned cybersecurity strategies don't automatically guarantee success – things won't just magically fall into place. He’ll share insights into how adopting an empathetic leadership approach and focusing on strategic relationship-building can lead to a more nuanced and effective cybersecurity posture.
Expect to learn how this can redefine our metrics, enhance collaboration, and foster a security culture that transcends mere alignment with business goals. I invite you to join Stephen in exploring practical strategies and personal insights on how to navigate beyond the conventional, toward a more holistic and impactful approach to cybersecurity leadership.
