Beyond Boundaries: How CISOs Are Mastering the Defense Game

October has brought together the two Cs – CISOs and cricket – with the former celebrating Cybersecurity Awareness Month and the latter aiming for the coveted ICC World Cup trophy. Surprisingly, these two seemingly different industries share a lot of common challenges. Besides concerns such as player injuries, pitch conditions and travel fatigue, the captains of both these teams have the crucial task of leading their teams to victory. For CISOs, this challenge is even more daunting due to the limited resources and budgets, while additionally braving tough conditions like not being allotted a seat on the board and grappling with multiple regulations and compliance problems. Balancing the restricted resources with the varying effectiveness of cybersecurity investments is not an easy feat. But the CISOs express optimism – “we are getting better,” they say.

CISOs can now leverage cybersecurity tools like advanced threat detection, SASE, XDR, and others to defend against an ever-expanding array of threats. As CISOs embrace these powerful tools, they are poised to level up their game. The message is clear: Equipped with the right tools, CISOs are positioned to elevate their performance and ensure the security of their digital realm.

Keynote: Strategies for CISOs in an Era of Advanced Threats and Skills Shortage

The figures underscore the urgency: In 2022, the average cost of a data breach skyrocketed to a staggering $4.35 million. Cyberattackers can now infiltrate private data through phishing emails in less than 1 hour and 12 minutes. Approximately, 4,000 password attacks occur every second. With a staggering global cybersecurity skills gap and the growing sophistication of cyberthreats, there is an urgent need to adopt cybersecurity awareness and resilience.

The keynote will cover:

  • How to address the challenge of the cybersecurity skills gap;
  • How government and private sectors can collaborate to prepare for cyberwarfare;

How the Digital Personal Data Protection Act will impact the businesses’ security strategies.

Plenary: Bridging the Gap: How Generative AI Is Revolutionizing Security Operations

Security information and event management systems generate tens of thousands of alerts, making it humanly impossible to assess each of these alerts and prioritize threats. This is putting a significant strain on SOC analysts and CISOs. The monotony of this work can now be transferred to generative AI tools, which are adept at handling vast volumes of work at a faster pace. New generative AI tools can help in writing and scanning code, supplementing understaffed teams, analyzing threats in real time, and performing a wide range of other functions – empowering security teams to become more accurate, efficient and productive.  

The session will cover:  

  • Current security challenges;
  • Ways in which gen AI tools and models can strengthen security;
  • Limitations of gen AI tools and models.

Fireside Chat: Data Protection Dilemma: Safeguarding Data Beyond Borders

Security leaders supported this idea of data sovereignty aligning with the belief that preserving data within the nation is vital for its safety and required for promoting the country’s growth. However, contradicting the earlier judgment by the cabinet, the current DPDP 2023 Bill allows the transfer of personal data outside India, except to countries restricted by the central government through notification. This change has led to questions being raised by data privacy and security proponents around the adequate protection provisions for the data residing outside the country.

The session will cover:

  • Pros and cons of the cross-border data transfer;
  • Challenges related to data localization versus free data movement;
  • Strategies for protecting data beyond national borders.
