Opening Keynote Presentation – Cybersecurity Modernisation with A Threat-Informed Defence

The traditional network infrastructure model of centralised corporate data centres secured by on-premises network perimeters does not work today. Data that once resided in data centres is now in the cloud, on SaaS applications, and on endpoints. This presentation will focus on the need for companies to transform and modernise their approach to cybersecurity, and adapt to the constantly changing threat landscape. Key takeaways will include, the benefits of a threat informed defence and the how to secure assets that sit outside the traditional network perimeter.

Keynote Presentation – Adopting A Zero-Trust Approach To Cybersecurity

A zero-trust approach requires a change of focus for organisations. It requires an assumption that breaches will occur as organisations evaluate current and desired cybersecurity posture, aligned with risk appetite.

This presentation will explain how to adopt a zero-trust approach and how it can be aligned with cybersecurity policies. Key takeaways will include an understanding of how to take a zero-trust approach and the benefits of zero-trust.

Networking Break

Roundtable Discussion 1 – Reducing Risk With Modern Identity Management.

As digital transformation accelerates, more data and applications are being pushed out to devices and remote users. Companies need to focus on who is accessing corporate resources, from where and why. They need to understand what their data is being used for and be able to identify vulnerabilities rapidly. Improved visibility of user behaviour is critical to reduce the threats from adversaries as well as from insiders.

Key discussion points include, enabling business with IAM and managing access efficiently.


30min

Roundtable Discussion 2 – Modernising Cyber Operations With AI And ML

SOCs are becoming overwhelmed with alerts, many of which are false positives. The modern SOC needs to fully leverage automation and AI to detect and respond to threats in the most efficient way. This roundtable with discuss how and why today’s SOCs are overwhelmed and how automating SOCs and using AI are essential.

Key discussion points will include, managing the growing number of false positives and using AI and ML to detect and respond to threats.


30min

Roundtable Discussion 3 – Policy As Code And Application Security

As companies start to embrace DevSecOps, developers will increasingly act as policy enforcers by building policy into code. Security by design will become more common as security programs align with DevOps to provide the automation required to secure complex technology environments. Developers will start to see baking security into code, not as an inconvenience, but as a critical part of creating new applications rapidly.

Key discussion points will include best practices in DevSecOps and embedding cybersecurity policies into code.

30min

Roundtable Discussion 4 – Reducing Complexity With A Cybersecurity Mesh

Companies are struggling with increased cybersecurity complexity as they wrestle with a growing number of cybersecurity tools, typically operating independently of each other. A new approach is required where controls are integrated and policy is consistent.

This roundtable will discuss how a cybersecurity mesh can enable the centralised control of policies and the scaling of controls. It will also discuss how a cybersecurity mesh can offer greater flexibility and reliability.

Speaking Session 1: Active Response as Your Enterprise’s Default Defence Posture

Mac Esmilla, Chief Information Security Officer, World Vision International
CISOs are drowning in security alerts as more security tools generate more alerts and a more disparate view of enterprise security. Advanced cybersecurity requires an active response. Simply knowing that a threat exists is not enough. You must be able to respond. When an organization is facing “alert fatigue,” complacency sets in and security suffers. Without the ability to seamlessly assess, respond to and resolve the ever-growing number of alerts, the investment in cybersecurity technologies is wasted. This session will discuss components that are critical to active response in defending your enterprise.

Speaking Session 2: Shared Responsibility In The Cloud

Confusion remains around the segregation of responsibilities for cloud security. This leads to unnecessary vulnerabilities and potentially devastating attacks. Key discussion point in this roundtable are the elements of cybersecurity that are typically addressed by cloud service providers and the elements which must be managed by the customer.

Audrey Teoh, Group CISO, SingPost
Boris Hajduk, CISO, Gojek + Tokopedia
Yogesh Madaan, Head Information & Cyber Security, Bukalapak
Manan Leo Qureshi, BISO/APAC Security Lead, Yum! Brands
Moderator: coming soon

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.

This panel will discuss best practices in threat hunting and how companies can become the hunters instead of being the hunted.

Closing Keynote Presentation: Building Resilience With Defence-In-Depth

Cezary Piekarski, Global Head, Cyber Security, Information & Cyber Security, Standard Chartered
 

No company can eliminate all breaches. Instead, companies can focus on mitigating risk by minimising the damage and breach can cause. Increasingly, companies are implementing multiple layers of controls.

Key takeaways from this presentation will be the need for multiple complementary controls to manage risk and how a defence in depth approach can be implemented.
