Registration & Breakfast

Speaker

Desg, Company

Plenary: Leadership Traits of a CISO: A Strategic Road Map

To accomplish this, CISOs must align their strategies with business priorities, move from a defense to an offense mindset, and collaborate to ensure that their organization’s cybersecurity approach delivers business value.

Building a resilient enterprise depends on the leadership traits of a CISO and the strategic road map to achieve the goal. Most security practitioners argue that CISOs need to embody all leadership traits, take ownership and wear multiple caps to build resiliency and demonstrate their inclusive leadership skills.

The session will cover:

  • How to become a strategic thinker and imbibe the qualities of a knight;
  • How to make “security” a part of the corporate strategy and DNA;
  • How to demonstrate leadership in countering information warfare and establishing organizational resilience.

Zero Trust Enabled by AI: An Enterprise Security Journey

It is critical to determine how can zero trust can offer an effective strategy to neutralize AI-based threats and how AI and zero rust can work together for early detection of threats.

The session will cover:

  • Understanding AI risks and using zero trust to establish security;
  • Rethinking zero trust;
  • AI-based approach to cybersecurity.

Networking & Exhibition Break

Exclusive: Gen AI in Cybersecurity: Tackling Both Sides of Battle

Since AI empowers adversaries, security leaders believe that it will warp the battlefield in the favor of the adversaries, thereby leading to an increase in supply chain attacks and social engineering attacks, among other forms of attacks. A positive approach to combat this trend is to understand how AI helps in bridging cyber defense gaps, address technical challenges and expedite threat detection activity.

The session will cover:

  •     Ways to deploy generative AI tools within the existing security architecture;
  •     Use of generative AI in building better defenses;
  •     Strategies to accelerate automation and processes to eliminate offensive obstacles.

Panel: Future of Payments Security: New Methods of Authentication in 2024

Payments organizations have been putting their best foot forward in fortifying their payment gateways and investing in secure technologies and new digital authentication frameworks to support the card-not-present ecosystem.

The session will cover:

  • The changing payments security and threat landscape;
  • Adopting a risk-based authentication system for securing payments;

Use of AI-driven solutions to prevent attacks on the payments ecosystem

Networking & Exhibition Lunch

Panel: IoT Risks: Tactics, Techniques and Procedures to Remediate

Some security leaders believe that implementing endpoint detection and response on IoT and OT devices is challenging due to lack of agent support and specific security features. While IoT risks are an enterprise-wide challenge, having right remediation tactics, techniques and measures to counter the risks is critical.

It is crucial to have these to ascertain the behavior of a threat actor and assess the structured framework for executing a cyberattack.

The session will cover:

  • What should the TTPs constitute in remediating IoT risks;
  • Defending the devices while maintaining privacy;
  • CISOs’ consideration on the right investments and accountability.

Exclusive - Is Privacy a CISO’s Problem? How to Operationalize It?

How much security is required in an environment where openly shared data and research results fuel business? Is a CISO more than just another corporate policy developer and technology evangelist in terms of privacy and security matters?

What role does a CISO play in operationalizing data protection and privacy regulations?  

The session will cover:  

  • The intersection between security and privacy;
  • How much is a CISO accountable for privacy;
  • Data protection versus security controls.  

Networking & Exhibition Break

Spotlight: Rethinking Cybersecurity: Establishing Secure and Frictionless Banking

  • The evolving nature of banking, along with the risks and innovations in security, is actively disrupting the banking security ecosystem in a major way. This has created the need to integrate real-time controls to futurize operations at banks with effective risk management and resilient techniques.

     The spotlight session will cover:

    • The next big evolution in the banking sector;
    • Adopting a defense-in-depth approach enabling multiple layers of security controls, endpoint protection and network segmentation;
    How risks are converging with user behavior patterns in discovering the anomalies in the system to establish frictionless banking.
