SEA Cybersecurity & Business Transformation Summit

8:00 PM SGT - 5:00 PM SGT

Event Overview

Cybersecurity leaders say Southeast Asia has become a hotbed for cybercrime activities.

In 2022, the region has experienced an increase in DDoS attacks, ransomware attacks, attacks against industrial control systems (ICS), business email compromises, and phishing attacks — the list is endless. The region must take a collaborative defense approach to respond to this new threat environment. The challenge for enterprises has been to ascertain how much risk they are willing to accept to accomplish their mission.

In the hybrid and interconnected world, the noticeable change has been changing consumption patterns of security technologies, which require new ways to deploy frameworks. The enterprise’s success will depend on its endurance to balance offense and defense to mitigate these threats using the right tools, technologies, and best practices. To gain insights into how to establish a secure ecosystem in this dynamic world, attend ISMG’s cybersecurity summit and explore diverse cybersecurity trends from ransomware to supply chain attacks, infrastructure security to automotive cybersecurity, endpoint security featuring AI, connected devices’ challenges, critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, ICS risk, crypto challenges, extended detection and response, cyber insurance, and more.

You can also earn your CPE credits by attending the summit. ISMG’s agendas provide actionable education and exclusive networking opportunities with your peers and our subject matter expert speakers.

Role of Zero Trust in Establishing Cyber Resilience: A CISO’s Pragmatic Approach

The question that arises is: Are CISOs using the “zero trust” concept to establish cyber resiliency to improve their defenses in fighting threats?

The session will cover:  

  • How has the approach toward security changed as security perimeters disappear?
  • How to assess the maturity of the “zero trust” state with a realistic look at security and its dependencies on other functions in securing the future work environment?

Panel Discussion: Protecting Your Legacy Applications in Cloud and Building a Risk Management Program

The pandemic has created the urgency for enterprises to move to cloud, and enterprises are in a race to adopt the “cloud-first” strategy to optimize the IT spend and secure their hybrid work environment. However, the major challenge is to tackle the risk associated with moving legacy applications to the cloud and find ways to build a risk management program to protect these applications. 

The session will cover:  

  • Risks of moving legacy applications to the cloud 
  • Building an effective risk management program 
  • A holistic approach to protect cloud applications

Culture Change: How to Instill a Mindset of Responsible Defense

It’s called “Responsible Defense,” and Katie Jenkins, EVP and CISO of Liberty Mutual Insurance, addresses it in this exclusive keynote. Beyond this cultural shift, she discusses:

  • Partnering with her new CIO to support a tech strategy of “Safeguarding Business Operations”
  • Dealing with the shifting threat landscape and expanded attack surface
  • Addressing the talent gap by championing women, military veterans and other under-represented groups

Cloud Account Takeover: How Do You Prevent Cyber Perpetrators?

In a cloud account compromise, attackers gain control over the legitimate user’s cloud-based email or collaboration service account that gives access to the data and contacts. They can persuade users and business partners to wire money or damage an organization’s reputation. As more business assets move to cloud, attackers follow close behind.  

The session will cover: 

  • The anatomy of cloud account takeover; 
  • The extent of harm cybercriminals can inflict with a compromised cloud account; 
  • How to protect your organization from cloud account compromise and takeover.

CIO and CISO: Collaborate to Defend

As organizations undergo more digital transformation, there is a greater focus on digitalizing processes and improving customer experiences. Consequently, the roles of CIOs and CISOs are evolving to new archetypes such as business enabler, digital enabler and value enabler. 

Partnerships with the CIO and other business heads are imperative to drive business goals. The CIO and CISO are now partners in a mission to drive business enablement and to defend the organization from threats. 

In this fireside chat, the participants will discuss: 

  • Evolving roles and business-facing responsibilities; 
  • Supporting other business heads; 
  • Cybersecurity – from a cost center to business enabler.

Zero Trust Security: Is It a Deep Dive or Just Tipping Your Toes?

Different industries are struggling to implement the various technologies under zero trust. Microsegmentation and access management are not easy to deploy. What works for one industry might not work for another as zero trust is not a monolithic approach. For many, zero trust architecture has become complex. Given this, are CISOs just tipping their toes? How must they get more granular in their approach?

This session will cover: 

  • Business imperatives driving the implementation of zero trust;
  • How to decide on the low-hanging fruits;
  • How to handle microsegmentation and zero trust in the cloud.

Resetting Cybersecurity Plans in 2023: CISOs’ Rebalancing Practices

Besides, CISOs are compelled to force relationships with business functions and become evangelists for cybersecurity within the organization to gain the board’s attention. CISOs must adorn multiple hats of a leader, defender and offender during a cyber war to be resilient enough to stay on top of emerging threats and rebalance their skills to meet the changing demand. 

The panel will discuss: 

  • Maintaining the pace by harnessing new concepts and automation; 
  • Building an offensive strategy to make the enterprise resilient; 
  • Establishing accountability across all functions by weaving a cybersecurity story in all functions.

Regulatory and Security Readiness: How Are CXOs Addressing Multiple Challenges?

With the normalization of remote work, companies are now tasked to support and provide critical services to their off-site workforce. While it gives a great deal of flexibility, it also widens the threat surface and enables cyberattackers to exploit systems. 

A survey suggests that 27% of organizations have experienced a security incident in their public cloud infrastructure within the last 12 months. Regulators are seeking to tighten the rules around data sovereignty and localization, thus posing challenges for many industries to move to the cloud. While cloud adoption is on the rise, it is not free from multiple challenges. How are CXOs dealing with those?

The session will cover:

  • Identity and access issues in cloud
  • Cloud misconfigurations and multi-cloud management 
  • Dealing with data sovereignty and localization issues
  • Privacy of customer data

Economics of Cloud Technology

The economic and financial models are grounded in decades of traditional IT practices that are based on “owning” IT instead of “consuming” it.

As a consequence, companies are developing business cases, negotiating contracts and making economic calculations that don’t take into account the different financial approaches and models that are specific to cloud. Not only is this resulting in value derived from the cloud falling short of expectations, but it is also, in some cases, threatening cloud programs, with some businesses even considering reversing course.

The session will cover:

  • Making a business case for cloud
  • Capital-expenditure economics versus operating-expenditure economics
  • Elasticity benefits of cloud versus the on-prem infrastructure
  • Migration of cloud workloads
