Digital technologies are enabling businesses to achieve feats like never before. While technologies, such as Web 3.0, blockchain, metaverse and cloud, expand the scope of enterprise business, they also pose certain security risks. This has necessitated CISOs to establish enterprise resilience. Inadequate cyber defenses can hold back organizations from digital innovation as threat actors are constantly looking for vulnerabilities to exploit with new technology deployments. Only a cyber-resilient enterprise that knows how to endure and contain attacks can innovate and thrive in a digital economy. This requires CISOs to align their strategies with business priorities, move from a defense to an offense mindset, and collaborate to ensure cybersecurity delivers business value. While organizations must leverage strategies and tool sets for threat intelligence and threat hunting, robust risk management, incident response and business continuity plans are equally crucial. Ultimately, leadership plays a pivotal role in driving resilience.
The ISMG Cybersecurity Summit: Mumbai brings together digital experts, innovators and thought leaders to discuss digital resilience, security, growth and business transformation.
The conference will include discussions on topics such as establishing trust with the board, how to thrive in a digital economy with the right defences, what does cross-border data movement entails, multi-vendor management challenges, cyber insurance, quantum readiness, zero trust, SD-WAN, and reducing operational friction with XDR. Security experts from the large enterprises and technology partner organizations will share insights and learnings on the best practices to transform businesses and protect against emerging threats.

But CFOs seek upfront visibility on cloud spends. Moving from capex to opex presents tremendous cost savings. However, organizations can save further on cloud costs by opting for the right service plans, and predicting cloud costs upfront. The lack of visibility into cloud spending can inflate cloud costs. Gartner predicts that organizations that lack cost optimization processes will average 40% overspend in public cloud. Spending must be monitored and controlled on an ongoing basis due to the dynamic nature of the cloud.
What leads to unforeseen spending, and can this be predicted in advance? The session will delve into the strategies, best practices and cloud management tools that CIOs use to monitor and control cloud spending. Cloud governance regulates usage of cloud resources and optimizes resource utilization, leading to cost optimization.
