The past three years have taught organisations that an expanding digital footprint brings with it evolving security challenges. For all the benefits and opportunities presented by the hybrid workplace and cloud-based digital-native business processes, these bring with them heightened risks in the form of sustained big game ransomware attacks, multiple attacks on the digital supply chain, deeply embedded vulnerabilities, and increasing attacks on identity systems.
The cumulative security challenges are exacerbated by a shortage of skilled and experienced security and professionals at all levels. Gartner advises security and risk management leaders to transform their organisation’s security practice to keep pace with business demand and a constantly evolving threat environment. Security professionals are also encouraged to find the optimal balance between their dual missions of protecting their organisation and ensuring cybersecurity proves its value as a strategic business enabler.
CXOCIETY is pleased to hold our second annual FutureCISO Conference in-person in Singapore on 25 May 2023 under the theme of “Architect Your Security and Risk Strategy”.

Nearly half of all data breaches happen in the cloud. Ransomware, malware, phishing emails and data leakage continue to evolve with new techniques and attack vectors identified by malicious actors, probing every inch of IT protection especially in the cloud environments and cloud-based mail servers.
With more enterprises adopting a hybrid cloud approach to help drive their digital transformation initiatives, how should organisations successfully manage and secure their cloud-native applications and hybrid cloud environments holistically?

During the pandemic, organisations shifted their strategies from aiming to reach a defined future, to becoming more resilient and adaptive. This has led to changes to the priorities of organisations, their operating models, and how they utilise technology and secure the enterprise.
With Asia-Pacific the most attacked region in the world, according to the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index report, what is needed is a unified approach to security that covers the entire IT stack, where everyone in the organisation is accountable for helping the enterprise balance risks and benefits.

There is one thing in common between cyber security resources and breaches: Both cost money. However, recovering from the latter can be extremely stressful, challenging and costly for businesses. Lack of preparation in a response plan, if an incident were to occur, leaves organization at the risk of being unable to handle an attack effectively and even being vulnerable to further attacks.

The Q3 of 2022 saw a peak in insider threats. According to a report by Kroll, insider threats accounted for nearly 35% of all unauthorized access cyber incidents in the third quarter of 2022, its highest quarterly level to date. The surge is mainly due to the phenomenon of the ‘great resignation’ in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to remote work. As insider risk is an ongoing challenge that cannot be overlooked, how should CISO work together with the stakeholders across the enterprise to develop a comprehensive strategy to manage inside risk?

At the World Economic Forum 2023, cybersecurity was named a top concern as there are acute shortages of IT security professionals who are able to tackle the cyber security issues.
On top of this, every employee of companies in today’s digital economy inherently comes with risks and security concerns. Therefore, other than the organisation’s IT and IT security personnel, they are key in keeping the organisation’s safe from digital threats.

2023 marks the beginning of a new era in cybersecurity, using AI technology for both good (cyber protection) and bad (cybercrimes). Enterprise IT security leaders can leverage the latest AI-based security tools to better detect threats, protect their systems and safeguard data resources. However, as result of the maturity of AI technology, cyber attackers can also benefit from the AI-powered technology to launch more sophisticated attacks such as through CHATGPT and AI-generated phising emails.
