Conference Focus
Enterprise Security
Cyber espionage has emerged to be amongst the greatest scourges of the cyber world. Aurora targeted huge number of organisations while the birth of Stuxnet successfully caused subversion and destruction to critical information infrastructures. These attacks show that organisations are in dire need of holistic and proactive security approaches when dealing with the sophisticated targeted attacks of today's threat landscape.
Gain insights from key areas of infrastructure security, endpoint security, policy compliance, risk management, Industrial Control System (ICS) security and SCADA security.
Attacks and Vulnerabilities (New)
The past years have been associated with an increasing trend of vulnerabilities disclosure and persistent attacks targeting high-value organisations. Gone were the days where only a small group of people had the sufficient know-how to perform such malicious attacks. Open-source attack tools have become easily available on the Internet and can be easily executed by anyone.
Understanding the technological developments in the areas of attacks and vulnerabilities help organisations to better appreciate the available security solutions, and enable them to design and develop their security protection to anticipate and respond to future attacks.
Application Security
Computer applications have always been an essential part of business. A compromised application could severely impact its operations, especially so in today's networked environment. Strategies and actions can be taken to prevent security breaches of these applications that we have grown to be dependent on.
Join our experts to understand the security risks and threats associated with applications, and discuss with us the challenges that your organisations are facing in securing them.
Biometrics and Identity Management
Biometrics technologies are increasingly being used as a factor of authentication for secure identification and verification across government and commercial entities alike. The fusion of biometrics and identity management has led to the development of innovative solutions used to secure both the identities and the confidential information of individuals and organisations.
This track showcases the latest trends on biometrics in identity management and how this technology may be further leveraged on.
Cloud Computing Security
The growth of cloud computing as a cost-efficient means to provide services has heightened the risks of organisations that have sensitive information stored in the cloud. The ability of organisations to leverage on the benefits of cloud computing hinges greatly on their understanding of the inherent security implications brought about by its use, as well as its associated mitigation measures.
Gain updates and insights from experts on the latest security issues related to cloud computing, and find out how to reduce the risks while embracing it.
Mobile and Wireless Security
The market has witnessed a huge growth in mobile devices. Mobile devices are increasingly having more processing power and are gradually converging with the PCs. The tendency is for people to jump on the new technology, interspersed it with our personal life and has them perform our daily work. However are these devices sufficiently secured for use in the workplace?
Attendees of this track will learn what the new challenges are in this aspect of IT security and the possible ways to mitigate these challenges.
Security Audit (New)
How do you know that your new security policy is effective and being adhered to? How do you know your firewall is really protecting you? How do you know your administrators are keeping all your systems fully patched? In today's complex IT environment, a smorgasbord of security controls exist which promise to defend against various threats. However it is only through the conduct of a security audit that we can confidently answer the question, "How do you know?"
Security audits have and will always play an important role in providing assurance to system owners. Join us to learn and appreciate the role of audit in this brave new cyber world.
