Cybersecurity Summit: Mumbai

8:30 AM - 6:30 PM IST

Event Overview

While digital technologies, such as Web 3.0, blockchain, metaverse and cloud, are revolutionizing businesses, they also pose certain security risks – necessitating CISOs to establish enterprise resilience. Inadequate cyber defenses impede digital innovation. Only cyber-resilient enterprises adept at enduring and containing attacks can innovate and thrive in a digital economy. This requires CISOs to align their strategies with business priorities, move to an offense mindset, and collaborate to ensure cybersecurity delivers business value. Robust risk management, incident response and business continuity plans are crucial. Ultimately, leadership is pivotal in driving resilience.

The ISMG Cybersecurity Summit: Mumbai brings together digital experts and thought leaders to discuss digital resilience, security, growth and business transformation.

The conference will cover various topics such as establishing trust with the board, how to thrive in a digital economy, what cross-border data movement entails, multi-vendor management challenges and others. Security experts from technology partner organizations will share insights on the best practices for business transformation and protecting against emerging threats.

Plenary: Redefining Cybersecurity Leadership: CISOs at Their Best

They are addressing the most pressing security challenges while also driving innovation and positively impacting the business. It is imperative to understand how CISOs, as leaders, serve as role models by demonstrating inclusive leadership skills and embodying qualities that go beyond being a guiding beacon in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world to becoming a beacon themselves.

How are CISOs redefining their leadership and making their presence felt across the organization, deploying the right technology, innovating effectively, enhancing communication, and minimizing attack surfaces while responding to market opportunities?

The session will address the CISOs’ role as leaders in shaping a better future. It will also cover:

  • How to become a strategic thinker and imbibe the qualities of a knight;
  • How to demonstrate leadership in countering information warfare and establishing organizational resilience;
  • How to integrate “security” into the corporate strategy and organizational DNA;
  • How to stay composed during an attack to devise tactical and strategic defense plans.
.

Keynote: Digital India: A Cybersecurity Perspective

It is beyond doubt that Digital India has created vast opportunities for innovation across various sectors, significantly boosting the country’s economic growth. The progress in the financial sector serves as evidence of its substantial strides in facilitating transactions across the country. The flip side of it is that innovation has introduced major risks and CISOs face the daunting task of safeguarding their digital innovations. The industry has witnessed frequent incidents of government systems and large private sector organizations becoming victims of serious cyberattacks and data breaches with the growing digitization.

We are at the cusp of the next wave of computing – quantum computing, representing a remarkable leap in computing power. It promises enhanced encryption capabilities, leading to more secure systems.

Amid the growing opportunities and challenges driven by the Digital India momentum, the keynote session will address the following objectives:

  • How to thrive in a digital economy;
  • The cybersecurity challenges, opportunities and defense strategies to fight threats;
  • Leveraging AI and ML tools and models to strengthen security.
.

Predictive Security: Understanding Your Adversary’s Advances

The cybersecurity industry is more skewed toward predicting breaches, making it imperative for CISOs to evolve a predictive security-based framework that can enable them to assess and calculate risks for their organization.

The question often arises whether the security practitioners are able to develop a predictive security model that will empower them to truly manage cyber risk, detect indicators of compromises, estimate the probability of an attack using appropriate threat intel, or identify and mitigate security risks and vulnerabilities.

The session will cover:

  • Building a simplified predictive security architecture to stay ahead of attackers;
  • Leveraging actionable threat intelligence for enhanced threat detection and visibility;
  • Winning a cyberwar with an automated threat intelligence framework.
.

Spotlight: The New-Age Boardrooms: Are You Ready to Play the Right Defense?

But the bigger question is are these leaders effectively discussing cybersecurity with the board and establishing the need for resiliency to gain the board’s attention?

The task of the security team is to be the beacon of change in influencing the board’s attitude toward cybersecurity to enable them to support with appropriate resources.

Are CISO-board disconnects exacerbated due to a lack of personal familiarity between them? Are security leaders communicating efficiently in the business language about the risk, reputation and resilience adorning their leadership roles?

What should the new-age boardroom’s approach be to understand cybersecurity and how can they eliminate obstacles that prevent organizations from developing a proactive security culture?

The session will cover:

  • Thinking like technologists and leaders to bridge the leadership gaps in the InfoSec world;
  • Ensuring the board becomes the first line of defense;
  • Crafting tactical and strategic defense plans in business language for effective communication with the board;
  • Bridging the skills gap.
