The Evolving Role of a CISO
by Lim Quan Heng, Regional Head of Asia, Privasec
Arguably, there has never been a better (or worse) time to bear the title of CISO. Discussions around cybersecurity have been happening in many conversations outside of the traditional infosec domain, and organisations are beginning to look at how cyber risk should be managed. Join Quan Heng as he takes you through the current perceptions of the CISO role, the challenges that arise from it and finally a possible strategy for the role moving forward.

Locking In On Ransomware by Chris Connell, Managing Director, APAC, Kaspersky
It is almost certain that everyone has heard of the cybersecurity ‘disease,’ ransomware - a threat that has now mutated into “Ransomware 2.0” or the targeted ransomware. This type of attack goes beyond kidnapping a company’s or an organisation’s data. Almost always a “targeted ransomware” or Ransomware 2.0 refers to the groups who moved from keeping data hostage to exfiltrating data, coupled with blackmailing. With the aftermaths of a successful attack including significant monetary loss and damaging reputation loss, we need to educate ourselves about this cybersecurity disease now more than ever. After the recent wave of Lockbit attacks just last August globally, and here in Asia Pacific (APAC), we see another trend — the rise of "Ransomware-as-a-Service" or RaaS. What does this evolution mean to businesses and organisations in the region? What defences and steps are required to combat this ever-evolving threat? Chris Connell will discuss how ransomware and its evolutions can be tackled here in APAC, and around the world.
12.55pm—1.05pm
Securing Identities & Zero Trust by Samuel Evans, CEO, Pure IT Associates Stephen Swann, Director, Madigan Solutions & Ketan Kapadia, CEO & Co-Founder, BlokSec Technologies Inc.
In the last 20 years, Identity & Access Management (IAM) has changed, businesses have changed, how we work and how we interact has changed. However, what has not changed is the fundamental impact IAM can have on securing organisations; allowing the right people, the right access, to the right resources, at the right time. We will explore 3 topics: Why IAM is important? Why IAM projects fail? What the future holds for IAM?
1.05pm—1.10pm
Key Considerations for Securing Your Cloud Environment by Raphaël Peyret, Vice President, Product, Horangi
Securing the cloud is different from how the world had previously understood network and infrastructure security.

1.10pm—1.16pm
Shift Left — Why Is There a Movement to Shift Left & What Is Driving a View Towards Modernity in Cyber? by Niel Pandya, Cybersecurity Lead, APJ, Micro Focus

In this short session we will look at the focus areas and trends that are embedding the ‘Shift Left’ mindset across the enterprise.
1.16pm—1.22pm
A Special Forces Mindset to Cyber Warfare by Ben Sullivan, Technical Director, Cyber Security, NEXTGEN Group
