IDC Security Forum

Digital & In-person Event | Warsaw | May 31, 2022

Overview

The war in Ukraine and the crisis of the European security system have made it necessary to re-examine threats and develop a strategy to build resilience. Today, disruption is not only the result of the still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but more importantly of the armed conflict on Poland's borders, the consequences of which could be sophisticated cyber-attacks, unprecedented waves of migration, or the complete disruption of supply chains. In this new situation, one thing remains constant: only well-prepared companies can face the disruption caused by "black swans." Digitalization leaders and IT security professionals need to reassess the potential threats from an industry and business perspective.

How to manage this complexity? At IDC, we believe that the best strategies are built on data, in combination with industry experience. At IDC Security, you can find both. The C-suite of Polish tech companies will meet here to exchange their point of view, and hear the latest insights from IDC analysts.

We know, that there are many variables to deal with in these uncertain times, every CISO must re-shape its strategy in three key areas that IDC defines as the 3Rs:​

  • Reactor how to effectively respond to new threats 
  • Be Resilient: or how to increase resilience and survive disruptions of all kinds
  • Reignitehow to emerge stronger from crisis

Join us live on May 31st to find out how to build a trusted, resilient and sovereign Future Enterprise, registration is now open!

 

 

Before we meet, we invite you to learn more about IDC Security Research:

Since the annexation of Crimea, Ukraine has been under constant attack by Russian hackers. Attacks on critical infrastructure cyber espionage, destruction of databases and servers, disruption of electricity and communications, and disinformation are just some of the activities. What can we learn about new threats straight from the battlefield?

CISO, Cyber Security Expert, SECONS - IT/OT Consulting

Cyber security today requires a new approach to risk management, based on understanding the strengths and weaknesses of one's own organization, and building on that to develop effective defenses. Conscious management of the security area, taking into account limited and hardly available resources, requires risk analysis and prioritization of threats.

Using zero trust architecture to defend against cyber threats

Tomasz Jedynak

Cybersecurity Sales Manager, Cisco Systems
In-Person

With the growing threat, adopting a security strategy based on a zero-trust model has taken on a new urgency. According to this model, you need to think about how to prepare for an attack, because the fact that it will happen is certain. Zero Trust Security is a must for the challenges of digital transformation.

Grzegorz Nocoń

System Engineer, Sophos CEE

IT resilience is essential for any organization to fulfill its critical missions, maintain its technical edge and guarantee its viability. Cyber resilience must continually adapt and exhibit innovative approaches to ensure its ability to defend against new emerging threats. While this comes at a cost, defending your organization's nervous system is not an option, but a necessity.

The very nature of today's cyber threats is that they cross national borders. The war in cyberspace is already in Poland. The scale of the threat is large. The third alert level on a four-step scale has been declared in Poland for the first time. In times of cyber uncertainty, effective steps must be taken to increase the security of critical infrastructure

The shortage of cybersecurity professionals has particularly troubling implications for business continuity and business resilience. There is a shortage of about 50,000 IT professionals in Poland. This staffing gap could be filled, for example, by professionals from Ukraine. The Ukrainian IT sector has developed rapidly in recent years, among other things, by educating specialists. As a consequence of the war, some qualified Ukrainian IT specialists may start looking for work in other countries.
