Would you know if a cyber adversary were to successfully break into your organisation? There are more threats than ever in today’s digital environment, and attack surfaces are constantly expanding due to the widespread adoption of cloud services, remote work, and complex hybrid cloud deployments. Threat defence today isn’t focused on protecting against attacks alone, but about preventing them from making inroads and wreaking havoc. Here’s how Network Detection and Response (NDR) can help organisations gain better visibility into their environments and detect threats early.

Leadership acumen and the ability to effectively engage with stakeholders are some of the key competencies expected of government chief information security officers (CISOs), shared GovTech Singapore’s speakers at GovWare 2023 as part of the Singapore International Cyber Week. Tham Mei Leng, CISO for the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE), shared how she leads MSE in tackling its unique cybersecurity challenges while embracing digitalisation, while Soh Zhi Qi, Assistant Director with GovTech Singapore, shared how the agency drives a whole-of-government approach to tackling cybersecurity threats, GovInsider reports.

No cyber defence is perfect. With enough time, technical sophistication, and a sufficiently motivated attacker, even the strongest defences may fail. Enterprises need a robust plan and relevant capabilities that will allow them to respond quickly should attackers ever gain unauthorised access. Indeed, the Mandiant 2023 M-Trends report shows that attackers in the Asia Pacific are gaining access using old footholds. What are the top considerations in incident response and how can organisations ensure that threat actors are fully rooted out?

How will AI influence cybersecurity? At GovWare last month, a stellar line up of presenters discussed cutting-edge AI research, the potential impact of AI on cybersecurity, and how some of them are already using it. Read on to learn more about what Kunal Anand of Imperva, Scott Jarkoff of Crowd Strike, and Professor Yu Chien Siang of Amaris AI have to say. 

Trust was a recurrent topic at GovWare 2023, attended by a record 12,000 global cybersecurity practitioners, policymakers, and organisational leaders from some 80 countries who came and engaged in three days of meetings, mutual discussions, and learning.   But what is the role of trust, and how can cybersecurity practitioners find the right balance when investing in cybersecurity amid a constantly evolving digital reality? Here’s what panellists and conference participants have to say. 

When your house is burning, first respondents need to know exactly where everything is when they arrive. The same is true for cyber respondents in the immediate aftermath of a cyber incident. While busy executives rarely spend much time thinking about the threat of cyber incursions, proper preparations and an incident response retainer with a reputable provider can grant timely access to the right expertise to quickly and efficiently identify the source of the attack and mitigate its impact.

As the world races ahead with digital transformation and AI in practically every industry sector, how can the healthcare industry leverage technology to modernise and innovate? iAPPS Health Group believes its 1Doc app, Capsule Clinic, and Robot Pharmacy can deliver better patient outcomes and push the boundaries of healthcare.

The need for secure systems and networks has become more vital than ever in the face of sustained digital transformation and substantially larger attack surfaces. Here’s how a prevention-first approach, with multi-layered security that covers all aspects of an organisation's infrastructure can make a difference.

Today’s CISOs wear multiple caps and are multifaceted in their abilities. How has the role of the CISO evolved and how they can shore up their organisation’s cybersecurity fundamentals amidst a roiling, tumultuous threat landscape? Crucially, what does the road ahead look like?

As cyber threats grow in sophistication, organisations can no longer rely on worn old strategies, but must adapt their security strategies to secure their cloud deployments and defend against new malware. With our three distinct platforms powered by ML/AI, organisations can leverage machines to mitigate personnel shortages and bridge knowledge gaps.
