Modernise InfoSec for evolving cloud risk and compliance

 InfoSec program management is too inefficient to support the real-time needs of CISOs and their teams, as they address the growing complexity of internal and external risks. The status quo - which often relies on antiquated tools, siloed processes, and over-investment in third parties - must yield to a more flexible, scalable, cost-effective approach. 

In this session, OneTrust introduces a new approach to enterprise-wide program development and automation that can meet the modern complexity of today’s businesses.  

Join this session to:  

  • Understand the limitations of InfoSec practices in today’s risk landscape. 
  • Identify five key areas of automation prime for organisations across the maturity spectrum. 
  • Translate program efficiencies into measurable benefits and results for the business.

Cybersecurity as a Service is the Future of Cyber Security
Cybersecurity has become too complex for most organisations to manage effectively, due to the triple challenge of
• Threats accelerating in volume and sophistication.
• Tools are overwhelmingly costly and complex.
• Hiring and retaining cybersecurity experts is fiercely competitive.
Increasingly organisations of all size and sector are turning to Cybersecurity as a Service to enhance their own teams’ capacity and coverage, particularly in highly specialised Detection & Response skills sets such as Threat Hunting.
Sophos Managed Detection and Response is delivered as a service and has been chosen to solve these challenges by more than any other solution in the market. It has been selected by more than 15,000 organisations, massively reducing their risk, doubling their IT team’s efficiency and vastly cheaper than managing in-house.

Building Resilience in an Age of Cyber Attacks

In this talk, we explore key aspects of building resilience in the face of cyber attacks. We will start by discussing the fundamentals of cyber security, providing a solid foundation for attendees to understand the evolving threat landscape.

 

One crucial element we will focus on is a layered approach to endpoint security. By implementing multiple layers of defense, organizations can better protect their critical assets. We will explore effective strategies for endpoint security, highlighting the importance of proactive monitoring and early warning systems.

 

While backups are essential, we will emphasize that backup alone is not enough. Cyber resilience and IT security fundamentals go hand in hand, necessitating a holistic approach that combines preventive measures, incident response planning, and continuous monitoring to maintain a robust security posture.

 

The global talent shortage in the cybersecurity field is an issue of increasing concern. We will discuss the industry's demand for skilled professionals. Attendees will gain insights into attracting and retaining cybersecurity talent, as well as leveraging external support such as Security Operations Centers (SOC) to augment internal capabilities.

 

Throughout the session, we will stress the importance of a comprehensive approach that combines both IT security fundamentals and cyber resilience strategies. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between these concepts and their role in building a robust cybersecurity posture.
