OPENING KEYNOTE: Preparing for the Shift Towards New Frontiers

Emerging technologies such as AI are re-shaping the digital transformation journey of organisations, resulting in an evolution in the cybersecurity landscape. The classical tenets of cybersecurity remain important in an increasingly digitalized environment; however, as organisations shift towards new frontiers with AI, CISOs would also need to start preparing for these shifts. This session will address how the cybersecurity landscape has evolved and the shifts towards new frontiers.

The introduction of innovative technologies such as Generative AI, ML, 5G, IoT and quantum computing has bring forth the emergence new threat vectors and surfaces.

As hackers and scammers never sleep, creating the surge of new and more sophisticated attack trends like hacktivism, weaponised deepfakes, phising attacks, ransomware 3.0, data poisoning and more – how can CISO ensure greater maturity in their cyber security initiatives in the increasingly connected and ever-changing world?

KEYNOTE I: Cybersecurity in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: AI for Security and Security for AI

Generative AI introduces game-changing opportunities for enterprises, but also a sense of urgency to secure this new frontier. Organisations must apply a security framework around their generative AI strategies, central to which are data security and identity and access management.

At the same time, generative AI will be a pivotal tool against attackers, helping maximize the security team’s time and talent, accelerate organizations’ threat detection and response capabilities, and dynamically secure user access to today’s distributed enterprise environment.

However, every information security leader typically shares the same priorities in ensuring cybersecurity against a wave of new risks. As IT and IT security leaders need to balance the growing demands of the security and the business landscapes, not only they need to develop and implement strategies that can manage risks, data security and prevents business disruptions, but also maintain their enterprise’s integrity — across the board.
