Securing Your Tomorrow: Strategies for Modernizing and Automating Cyber Defense
11:30-2:00 PM AEDT | Sydney
Event Overview
Organizations adopting new technologies to drive efficiency and innovation inevitably expand their attack surface, introducing new vulnerabilities across IT and OT landscapes. This paradox of the digital era is compounded by a persistent skills gap, making it increasingly difficult for organizations to maintain a robust security posture.
As security leaders, how can you adopt a strategic approach that seamlessly integrates security into your digital transformation journey? Achieving this requires streamlining architectures to enhance efficiency and ensure compliance, while maintaining agility for transformative technologies such as AI and post-quantum cryptography. How can you consolidate overlapping technologies, modernize infrastructure and scale automation to build a resilient ecosystem?
DISCUSSION POINTS
- What are your top three strategic plans for a good cybersecurity posture?
- How are you ensuring security is not an afterthought?
- How are you implementing effective automation frameworks?
- How can cloud-native architectures enhance scalability and security?
