Dark Web and Threat Intelligence: Understanding Your Enemy

The big challenge impacting enterprise security today is the dark web - a seemingly ungovernable subset of the internet where you can browse and communicate with complete anonymity. Through the use of the dark web and cryptocurrencies, criminals have been able to successfully run the “crime-as-a-service" model. However, businesses and the security agencies have been able to make very little, if any, impact.

How can you make your enterprises cybercrime-resilient, and how should law enforcement respond to this menace? How do security practitioners leverage threat intelligence capabilities to navigate through the dark web?

he session will cover:

Challenges posed by the dark web and cryptocurrencies for enterprise security
How is law enforcement responding to the investigation process and building technical capabilities?
New techniques and approaches used to combat security threats from the dark web
Actionable threat intelligence capabilities in understanding the enemy

SaaS for Cyber Core Services: Are CISOs Tuned In?

SaaS solutions are among the fastest-growing segments in the IT industry. According to McKinsey, the global SaaS market - currently worth about $3 trillion - is estimated to surge to $10 trillion by 2030. This implies that gains from revenue, lower overhead, offloading complex technical work to SaaS providers, and scaling with elasticity should all be balanced with availability of security controls in the offerings so that security-related risks can be managed at acceptable levels. Zooming into the available options and nailing few security controls that can help address core security considerations for control implementation and governance require qualitative and quantitative assurance along with risk acceptances.

Attendees will gain insight into scenarios, learnings, practical challenges and risk acceptances for consuming SaaS offerings for core security services.

The session will cover:

Best practices and security controls to be assessed for core security SaaS solutions;
Continuous monitoring and vigilance requisites;
Critical data protection characteristics for compliance and assurance needs.

Implementing Zero Trust and Gaining Buy-In: Practical Strategies for Success

Recent reports on zero trust adoption show that 96% of organizations in India either have a zero trust strategy or are in the process of doing so. Despite the wide adoption of zero trust, getting management buy-in is not easy. Cost, legacy infrastructure and complicated deployment are factors that often derail its implementation. What are some practical strategies to implement zero trust and how to get your 'house in order' before going for a zero trust strategy?

The session will cover:

Essential steps to starting the zero trust journey;
Key considerations for getting the management buy-in for a zero trust implementation;
Essential frameworks for a smooth zero trust implementation.

Setting Realistic Cybersecurity Goals: Assessing Risk Inventory and Limitations

Most Indian enterprises consider themselves as being above average or better in their cyber preparedness than their competitors in responding to threats, according to an analytics firm’s survey with senior cyber executives.

However, the most critical aspect of a successful cybersecurity program is doing the basics right, which has a direct impact on the efficacy of the program. It’s similar to the game of Zenga puzzle, where you need the foundation to be strong while you make efforts to consolidate your teams, tool stack, spends. The biggest challenge for organizations today is to get their basics right in cybersecurity.

The session will discuss:

Setting the practical goals around inventory, detection, and remediation engineering
Enhancing the cyber health of the organization at scale and risk reduction
Assessing external risks, limitations, commitments, and resources

Ankit Wasnik, Solutions Architect, Qualys Inc.

Panel Discussion: Building Cyber Resiliency by Design: Effective Frameworks

As organizations embrace (and accelerate) digitalization to offer new and innovative services, the vulnerabilities associated with data and technology will increase. According to research, cybercrime damage is expected to reach $8 trillion in 2023. Almost every organization will be impacted by a cyberattack this year, and it is crucial for businesses to rethink their risk management and incident response strategies.

In the face of an increasing threat landscape, with the growing volume and sophistication of attacks, companies need more than a security solution or governance policy to be prepared for these attacks.

They need a proactive and integrated approach with threat monitoring, threat intelligence, and end-to-end managed services.

That’s where cyber resilience comes in. It is not an afterthought, but needs to be built by design.

The panel will discuss:

The importance of cyber resilience in today’s context, and how do you achieve it in your organization
Cyber resilience versus cybersecurity
How to create a bullet-proof incident response plan
The need for cyber resilience solutions and frameworks

Future of Security: Threats and Opportunities

Ransomware attacks are becoming inevitable as bad actors exploit the weakest link of cyber defense - humans. The goal of cyber resilience is to transform business expectations and guarantee that businesses face a less-than-significant impact from a cyberattack. NIST defines cyber resiliency as the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses and attacks by cyber resources. The recovery process needs to ensure not only a quick recovery but also a quicker return to business. What is your current cyber recovery strategy? What challenges are you facing under recovery?

The session will cover:

How much to rely on backups
Practicality of creating an alternate environment
Leveraging cloud for better resilience

Suraj Jayaraman, Director, Cloud Security Architect, Microsoft

Fireside Chat -Payments Fraud: How to Stop Cyber Perpetrators

More than 90% of consumers around the world rely on online payments, according to a research study. This, however, brings with it an increase in transaction fraud. Fraudsters are relying on synthetic IDs to carry out various card-related frauds.

Social engineering is also increasingly becoming a deceptive tactic to trick people into divulging information. With so much going on, how can the payment industry tackle the new-age methods to reduce fraud?

The session will cover:

The new forms of fraud tactics
The shortcomings of the current defensive approach
What needs to change in 2023

Panel Discussion: Enabling Business Growth in the VUCA World: CISOs’ Action Plan for 2023

We are living in a VUCA world – a world that is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. As per India’s policymakers, VUCA is nothing but the AAJA world - Asthirata, which means volatility or a high rate of change; Anishchita, which means uncertainty and lack of clarity about the present and the future; Jatilata, which means complexity concerning multiple factors that impact critical decisions; and Aspashtata, which means ambiguity about the unprecedented and challenging times in the industry.

We are into 2023, and are witnessing growing chaos in the cybersecurity domain with multiple forms of attacks targeting enterprises.

What kind of conversations do the security teams need to have, what should be their strategies and what is their focus area?

The panel will discuss:

Cybersecurity lessons learned from economic uncertainty
New forms of security defenses enterprises have adopted in 2023
What’s top of mind for CISOs in tackling this situation
