As the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, digital transformation (DX) will be accelerated. As DX is accelerated, cybersecurity will be the top concern for corporations and stakeholders. Today’s cybersecurity threats focus on the IT/digital infrastructure such as the data centres, cloud services and communication networks. Securing sensitive data becomes a crucial cybersecurity task for the successful deployment of DX. As cybersecurity attacks (including ransomware and denial-of-service) multiply in number and sophistication, the challenge of cybersecurity protections of sensitive data is more difficult than ever.

We'll discuss with thought leaders in the cybersecurity space

1. State-of-the-art cybersecurity technology 

2. Cybersecurity for digital assets 

3. Cybersecurity for critical infrastructure 

4. What is zero trust security and how to implement it? 

5. What is cybersecurity mesh? Its benefits & applications 

6. AI for cybersecurity 

7. Cybersecurity as an ESG/sustainability risk management
