Topics of Discussion

As we embrace this theme of "Evolve," we recognise that the only constant in cybersecurity is change itself, and through shared knowledge, collaborative solutions, and innovative insights, we equip ourselves to evolve and safeguard the digital future. Meet like-minded cybersecurity leaders and learn about the newest trends in cybersecurity innovation!

The Role of Leadership In Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity poses as a business risk rather than an IT Risk in the modern world of Digital Transformation. To combat the ever evolving threat landscape and complex cyber challenges, Cybersecurity Leadership plays a pivotal role in shaping the success of businesses today.  And a thought leadership driven by constant innovation within businesses can transform the security posture of businesses, enabling secure yet rapid growth and expansion. Discover how a strong leadership can shape your business from renowned security leaders from the industry.
Geopolitical Dynamics and Cybersecurity
The constantly evolving geopolitical climates around the globe have revealed the significant role that cybersecurity plays at the frontier for businesses. The power of Cyber Warfares have a huge impact not just on nations, but on businesses as well. Therefore, it has become a prime topic that needs to be addressed strategically by cybersecurity leaders around the globe. Join our speakers from the industry who reflect upon the impact of geopolitical dynamics around the globe and discover how organizations can work collectively on strengthening their defenses.
Emerging AI's Dual Edge
AI has dominated the world and every industry is rapidly evolving to adopt AI in the most effective way to be the first movers. However, in this fast-paced digital world, organizations lose sight of the risks that AI poses to businesses, especially pertaining to security. The rise of generative AI with the speed and ease of implementation makes it very easy for the bad actors to leverage it in accomplishing motives that can destroy business operations. Watch industry leaders talk about the best practices to follow as the whole world evolves into AI rapidly whilst keeping cybersecurity at the forefront.
Effective Communication of Cyber Risk
In the event of a cyber attack, the strongest tool an organization can use is transparent communication and effortless collaboration. But to stay ahead of the curve and establish an advanced level of security structure, businesses must constantly share knowledge and educate employees about the cyber risks, clearly and effectively. Cybersecurity is an ever evolving field and organizations must continuously adopt stronger cyber strategies and best practices to protect their business round the clock. Discover experiences of industry leaders on how they communicate cyber risks in the dynamically changing cyber world.
