Resilient Security: Evolving Strategies for 2024

European organizations continue to embrace cyber resilience programs to comply with market regulations as well as to address the pragmatic need for more proactive security, which may include for example implementing Extended Detection and Response capabilities, attack surface management, and deploying solutions that help address critical vulnerabilities in real-time. In the background of tech advancements, the threat landscape continues to evolve, with attacks enhanced by AI initiatives. Meanwhile breach attempts are being driven by the lucrative cyber-crime business ecosystem and geo-political unrest. Deepfake fraud, social engineering, and Ransomware-as-a-Service are just a small sample of the major challenges that security leaders need to deal with. IDC's research identifies that information security risk and compliance investments are a top priority for European organizations in 2024. Failure to protect critical assets can result in compromises, which in turn can damage the trust that customers, partners, and stakeholders have in the impacted organization. 

Join IDC and industry experts to learn about the latest trends around addressing the challenges ahead as well as looking at the evolution of the role of the CISO from traditional security expert to a more business-outcome focussed role.

Join Jaye Tillson as he unravels the complexities of secure connectivity in today's rapidly evolving IT and security landscape. As our applications, data, users, and devices are now everywhere, traditional tools of the past are no longer fit for purpose in this hybrid environment.

In this session, Jaye will delve into the shifts that have reshaped our world, explore the different strategies for securing our workforce, explain the concepts of SSE, SASE and UZTNA and its relevance in this modern era, and highlight the emerging trends in adoption and their significance.

Today’s cybersecurity leaders are under constant pressure to demonstrate their ability to manage risks effectively. With threats constantly evolving, companies need dynamic strategies to mitigate risks, especially in the cloud. This session will explore how CISOs can use Cyber Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) to stay ahead of threats and maintain strong security by analyzing attack methods and threat actor behavior. 

The only way security practitioners can effectively manage the ever-changing threat landscape and maximize defensive strategies is by leveraging automation, orchestration, and continuous, evidence-based validation of the tools and technologies deployed in their enterprise environment. Effective threat management must be an ongoing, continuous, and integrated service, not just a one-time analysis or isolated mitigation effort. 

In this session, attendees will learn about:  

• Generating an effective organizational threat profile  
• Identifying the threat actors and adversarial TTPs that pose the greatest risk to your organization  
• Understanding the business and security risks of threat exposure 
• Gathering meaningful metrics to develop the business case for enhanced cybersecurity  
• Developing a threat management program that is continuous, efficient, and proactive 

In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, cybersecurity is not just a technical challenge—it's a leadership imperative. To build truly resilient organizations, we need diverse perspectives and inclusive leadership styles that empower all talents to contribute their best. In this session, discover concrete examples and evidence-based strategies for leveraging diversity and inclusive leadership to strengthen your cybersecurity posture.

The cloud landscape is constantly changing and so are the security requirements. In this presentation, Carla is going to share the latest 2024 Cloud survey results for the Netherlands to show where we are headed in the cloud and what you need to consider when developing your security framework.
