Endpoint Protection - Navigating Your Way Through the Maze
  • Lidia Giuliano, Senior Security Advisor, REA Group

Before you go out and buy an expensive endpoint product, do you actually know what problem you are trying solve? Do you have visibility into your network and a good understanding of what needs protecting? Many companies feel that they must invest in a next generation anti-virus (NGAV) or endpoint detect and response (EDR) product without understanding their threats.

This presentation will identify key considerations that your teams should plan for when building your business case. Testing for malware is important, but it should not be your only criteria. It is critical to know how these products work with legacy systems, ease of installation, UI, other controls and to have a sense where you are in your security maturity. You will leave knowing where to start and how to plan, based on identifying your needs vs. market hype.

15:20 - 15:40 Networking Break
15:40 - 16:05
Future-Proofing Supply Chain Against Emerging Cyber-Physical Threats
  • Steven Sim, VP, ISACA Singapore Chapter

With the advent of industrialization 4.0, the lines between cyber and physical continue to blur- this has become unavoidable. Against the gloomy backdrop of an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape, re-alignment of security posture maturity is imperative. Threats, especially the more recent NotPetya, are a rude shout-out that cyber resilience is even more key to ensuring business continuity. This session aims to share governance strategies that can be applied holistically against such threats.

16:05 - 16:30
DevSecOps: What, Why and How
  • Anant Shrivastava, Regional Director - Asia Pacific, NotSoSecure

Security is often added towards the end of a typical DevOps cycle, through manual/automated review. In DevSecOps, security can be injected at every stage of a DevOps pipeline in an automated fashion. Having a DevSecOps pipeline enables an organisation to:

  • Create a security culture amongst the already integrated "DevOps" team
  • Find and fix security bugs as early as possible in the SDLC
  • Promote the philosophy "security is everyone's problem" by creating security champions within the organisation
  • Integrate all security software centrally and utilize the results more effectively
  • Measure and shrink the attack surface

In this talk, we focus on how a DevOps pipeline can easily be metamorphosed into DevSecOps, and we will identify the accompanying benefits. The talk will discuss a number of open source tools and also the cultural changes needed to implement DevSecOps. The talk will also present various case studies on how critical bugs and security breaches affecting popular software and applications could have been prevented using a simple DevSecOps approach.

16:30 - 16:55
How Exactly Can Security Executives Mitigate Cyber Risk?
  • Theo Nassiokas, Director, APAC Cyber & Information Security (CISO), Barclays

In a world where cyber threats are becoming more complex and prolific, this presentation aims to remove the technical jargon and explain what cyber threats truly entail. Theo will use real-world examples and offer a glimpse of the biggest challenges executives are up against. This talk will connect cyber events to real actors and geopolitical events reported in the press, and identify alleged state-sponsored cyber threat actors and the alleged crimes they committed. Theo will then, in a defensible manner, explain how to quantify cyber threats.

This presentation will cover:

  • Defining cyber risk
  • Determining cyber risk profiles
  • Threats, delivery methods and actors
  • Disruption by alleged state threat actors
  • Data used to measure cyber risks
  • Quantifying cyber risk to business
  • Cyber insurance considerations
16:55 Closing Remarks
