In this fireside chat, Dr Kevin Jones, Group CISO, Airbus, explains why the age-old expression, “Humans are the weakest link”, is a myth that must be broken. Instead, we need to adopt human centric approaches to cybersecurity that make humans the last line of defense.

In this session, Jones will discuss:

• How to create a human centric cybersecurity program that makes humans the last line of defense
• What capabilities and priorities are needed to create and weave a culture of security into your organization
• How threat intelligence fits into a mature security practice and how to use it effectively

The world pandemic has led to new principles for cybersecurity leadership. With an increasing attack surface due to hybrid work, digitization and the move to the cloud, perimeter-based approaches to security are obsolete. Leadership and better corporate governance are two parts of the same journey to achieve Cyber Resilience via Zero Trust.

We will be discussing these issues with Georges de Moura, Head of Industry Solutions-Cyber Resilience at the World Economic Forum. During the discussion we will cover the following topics:

• What are the key principles of Cyber Resilience in a Post Pandemic World ?
• What is the role of cybersecurity Leadership in creating a culture of cyber-security for the enterprise?
• How do we use Zero Trust approaches to boost resilience, and what is the role of Leadership here?
• Outside our own organization, how do we ensure the cybersecurity of our supply chains?
• How can Cybersecurity leaders enable boards to understand cybersecurity risk in a business context?

Europol recently coordinated the disruption of the notorious Emotet botnet operation and cybercrime service. In the wake of that effort, what lessons might be applied to disrupt the ongoing damage being wrought by ransomware? And are stronger measures required, such as requiring ransom payments to be declared to authorities - or even banned - or hacking gangs’ infrastructure?

Supply chain risk. Multi-cloud environments. ‘Work from Anywhere.’ It’s a challenging time for CISOs, and none knows it better than veteran cybersecurity leader Troels Oerting, former head of Global Centre of Cybersecurity at the World Economic Forum. In this exclusive session, Oerting offers his unique perspective on topics including:

• Today’s most dangerous threats
• The broad impact of the Solar Winds attack and how to respond
• How to adjust security to protect the ‘Work from Anywhere’ world

2020 was a volatile year in the marketplace, and 2021 promises more of the same, with mergers and acquisitions dominating the news. But what often gets overlooked in the mix - even by those who know better - is cybersecurity. In this session, Joe Martinez, a veteran CISO with M&A experience, discusses:

• How to balance competing challenges in M&A
• Major milestones in the process
• How to assess risk in a company when you have limited visibility

With a long experience as a naval officer, a ship commander, director of information systems for the French Ministry of Defense,, and now a vision of private companies valuable for all CISOs, we will put into perspective several key themes, such as hacking back and the questions it raises in terms of the geopolitics of cyber-warfare, the security of vital organizations (CNIs) in their digital transformation, cyber-resilience planning and what the military approach can teach us. Finally, we will conclude with the problems and solutions regarding data sovereignty.

While ransomware has crippled hospitals in recent years, the security of our healthcare systems has been in the news, particularly with the challefnges posed by their digital transformation, the proliferation of connected healthcare objects (IoMTs) and, above all, the sensitivity of the healthcare data processed. The role of the CISO in hospitals has become more and more key, leading to increasing challenges and needs, in particular that of convincing executive boards of their security approach. We will have a deeper look at these topics during the session with the CISO of Hopitaux Iris Sud in Belgium.

As part of its remit, the U.K.'s National Cyber Security Center, or NCSC, safeguards the nation's critical infrastructure - much of which is controlled within the private sector. Marsha Quallo-Wright, an NCSC deputy director, is responsible for improving critical infrastructure resilience, and in this exclusive session she discusses:

• The state of critical infrastructure security;
• The heightened cyberthreat resulting from Russia's invasion of Ukraine;
• Public/private sector partnerships that can improve critical infrastructure security and resilience.
