IDC Security Roadshow Elevating the Security of the Future Enterprise

In-Person Event | The Maslow Hotel, Sandton | August 18, 2022

Overview

Today’s security leaders are examining cybersecurity through a strategic-, business-, and industry-focused lens. Efficient and effective security across the entire enterprise is a necessity at a time when networks are evaporating, endpoints are proliferating, and relentless adversaries are continually adapting their tactics, techniques, and procedures.

Organizations across South Africa are increasingly looking to enable comprehensive threat detection and response, all while elevating their level of cybersecurity maturity. Indeed, in a recent IDC survey of CIOs across the country, 45% of the respondents revealed that they are now embedding security into the planning, initiation, and assessment phases of all new business initiatives.

Against a backdrop of ever-increasing security complexity, this event will explain why visibility and control over application security is now vital for organizational survival. Industry experts will explore transformative technologies, dissect the ever-growing threat landscape, and examine the increasingly sophisticated nature of cyberattacks, all while discussing other real challenges to the security of the future enterprise.

The South Africa edition of the IDC Security Roadshow 2022 will explore the latest developments in the region's security market, take an in-depth look at some of today’s hottest security-related topics, address the challenges organizations are facing in a rapidly changing threat landscape, and provide expert strategic guidance for the security professionals in attendance.

IDC Keynote: Elevating the Security of the Future Enterprise

Shilpi Handa

Associate Research Director

Digital transformation has become a major disruptor of how companies operate today, and its importance is only growing with time. As companies increasingly turn toward technology to drive and innovate their business models, they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks from hackers and other malicious actors who are now innovating their attack vectors in parallel. Recent research has revealed that developing security and resilience excellence — through establishing security operations and enhancing security skills and processes — is the biggest strategic investment planned by 58% of CIOs and CISOs over the coming two years. While striving for greater efficiency, agility, and speed is a major priority, the lack of skills needed to navigate the constantly evolving cybersecurity landscape presents its challenges, and finding the right balance sets apart successful and well thought out cybersecurity strategies.

Defense in Concert: Evolving Your SecOps Strategy

Muhammed Mayet

Security Architect, Secureworks

Without the right integration between security technologies, you cannot gain the necessary context to act against today’s threats. So, how can you get a holistic view of your security infrastructure? And how can the right blend of people, processes, strategies, and technologies help maximize your overall defense? This session will explore how a "defense-in-concert" approach to security can make all the difference when outmaneuvering today's threat actors. It will explain why additional security layers do not necessarily equate to a stronger defense, present guidance on how to gain better visibility, context, and collaboration across your entire IT ecosystem, and examine all the ways to modernize your security operations and improve threat detection and response.

Zero trust involves protecting the IT environment from the broadest to the most granular to support the trust needed for digital transformation.
