Global Cyber Summit

POWERED BY
The speed of technological innovation is breathtaking. Businesses are having to adapt to new capabilities and the challenges they present on what seems like a daily basis. Technology has the power to enhance our lives and promises to revolutionise the way we deliver services, improve user experiences, create novel solutions and address complex problems. But the same capabilities that empower us also empower our adversaries.

Managing technology so that it serves us, rather than the other way around, will be a constant challenge for both individuals and organisations. This requires a deep understanding of the implications of the technologies we adopt, particularly in terms of data integrity, security and privacy. It also demands a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating associated risks.

Working collectively within organisations and across sectors will become increasingly important. We haven’t always got this right: bureaucracy, silos, politics with a small 'p', and risk aversion have often hindered our ability to communicate and collaborate effectively. The challenges of today, and those that lie ahead, require us to do better. Cyber security is not solely the domain of the information security specialist; it is a team game.

Three Key Themes

Collaboration

Enhancing how we share information on threats and lessons learned from incidents, while promoting interdisciplinary teams within organisations and across sectors to improve preparedness.

Emerging Technology

Adopting new technologies safely by identifying associated risks and managing them effectively. Turning innovation into secure, sustainable competitive advantage while staying ahead of emerging threats.

Skill

Not only bridging today’s ever-widening skills gap, but also recognising and cultivating the skills needed for tomorrow, and developing the frameworks to adapt to evolving demands and build resilient cyber workforces.
