CIO & CISO NORDICS SMART WEBINAR

Date: 23rd November, 2021 2 PM CET

Event Overview

A Holistic Approach to Cybersecurity

In the age of digital transformation, businesses are evolving faster than ever. An  ever-growing list of applications are being deployed that may run on any number of clouds, while nascent technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence are becoming important aspects of many business’s competitive strategies. CISOs must take lead in this transformation process to help balance the risks of new digital technologies with their potential benefits.

 

In the past, effective cybersecurity strategies primarily relied on defensive processes and technologies. But as the boundaries of the network have become blurred with the proliferation of mobile devices and connectivity virtually everywhere, cybersecurity has become far too complex to rely on defensive solutions alone. Instead of the traditional firewall, what may be required is more of an immune system that responds to threats as they emerge and addresses any ill effects before they severely weaken the business as a whole.

 

Since attacks are inevitable, CISOs must be proactive to ensure their organizations are prepared. By focusing on alignment throughout the organization to build an understanding of how the whole system is connected, weak points can be addressed and processes improved before serious threats do long-term damage.

14:10 - 14:25 - SESSION 1 - DELEGATE PRESENTATION

Cyber Resilience

 

  1. Overview of cyber resiliency from an international company’s perspective
  2. Embedding cyber resiliency against prioritsed assets (operational, infrastructure, applications and data) and how to address some of the challenges here
  3. Linking resiliency to incident response in order to minimize outage duration and recover/rebuild to new normal following an attack

Understanding the 3 Essential Pillars: Cloud Native Security

Pillars of Cloud Native Security

  1. Secure the Build– Shift Left security, empowering DevOps to detect issues early and fix them fast before deployment
  2. Secure the Infrastructure– Automate compliance and security posture of your public cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure
  3. Secure the Workloads – Leverage modern micro-services concepts to protect VM, container and serverless workloads with granular visibility and control

 

SPEAKER:

  • Biagio DeSimone, Enterprise Solutions Architect at Aqua Security

14:45 -15:15 - SESSION 3 - OPEN DISCUSSIONS AND Q&A
