Security & Risk Summit, APAC
Virtual Summit April 20, 2023
For today’s CISOs and CROs one of their most significant challenges is to monitor and respond to cyber threats and vulnerabilities in real-time. Building a resilient enterprise, from both a cyber and business perspective allows organisations to reduce the impact of exposure and make risk-informed decisions. It is vital to break down silos, bringing together security operations and risk management with all areas across the business. A recent study shows that 87% of enterprises believe that business continuity arrangements need to be in place to deal with cyber incidents. This not only acts as a vital aide in a cyber-attack but also ensures a faster recovery, followed by also helping to mitigate financial losses. The Security and Risk Summit exclusively crafted by experts at ServiceNow will dive into how you can develop a collaborative and unified response to any cybersecurity or business threat. Discover: - Ways to proactively manage cyber risk - How to respond with agility and minimise the impact of cyber threats - How to build your operational resilience
ISMG's agendas provide actionable education and exclusive networking opportunities with your peers and our subject matter expert speakers.

Keynote: Actionable Steps to Build Your Operational Resilience
David Bell, Manager Solution Consulting, Security & Risk, ANZ , ServiceNow

Business setbacks are inevitable. Cyberattacks will occur, machines and systems will malfunction, and natural calamities will transpire. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, business resilience has taken on a new significance—businesses want to weather these storms. Most enterprises are looking towards business resilience to help them prepare for and recover from disruptions quickly and to minimise the impact on customers. 

This session will cover: 

• How to optimise processes to be more resilient; 

• How to assess critical points of failure; 

• How to ensure visibility for CROs and CEOs on various risk points.

Plenary: Rethinking your Security Incident Response
Andrew Chang, Advisory Solution Consultant, Asia, ServiceNow

Security teams often struggle with handling threats. They are not able to prioritise threats and vulnerabilities, resulting in businesses being left exposed. It has been found that 87% of organisations are dealing with an attempted exploit of an already known and existing vulnerability. In order for security operations to rise to the modern-day threat landscape, security should be able to draw from the data and workforce you already use in your organisation. The key is to automate incident response, and gain visibility by having a centralised view and security operations integration. Thus agility, integration, and speed are the new imperatives.  The session will further dive into: 

• Using playbooks, centralised dashboards, and a common data model to help expedite investigation and response; 

• How to know when your threat changes; 

• Creating an automated workflow and incident response playbook.

Panel: Critical Infrastructure - Designing the Right Security and Risk Resilient Strategy
Gaurav Mahendru, Snr Manager, Solution Consulting, Technology Workflow India, Asia and South Korea, ServiceNow

Recent large scale cyberattacks in the region, have prompted Security and Risk leaders across Asia Pacific to renew their focus on critical infrastructure and champion organisation resilience. This entails relooking at their Security and Risk management framework for threats, vulnerabilities and risks. As more critical infrastructure industries automate their systems, there is a corresponding increase in exposure and larger attack surfaces. The session will share tools and techniques on: 

• How to shore up vulnerabilities, manage your attack surface and tie it back to your governance and risk management process; 

• How to get a consolidated view of all critical infrastructure and business services across your organisation; 

• How can you better automate and orchestrate your response

• How to respond to threats more efficiently;

• How to ensure compliance programs support your business services.
