As technology advances and new tools emerge, cyber adversaries are adapting and using them to bypass defences and exploit weaknesses. The only way organisations can achieve different outcomes is by thinking and doing things differently, adopting new technologies for defence before attackers do – to thwart attacks and address traditional gaps.

As cyberattacks like ransomware, phishing, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks become more sophisticated and common, how can organisations ensure they remain operational and recover quickly from cyber disruptions? We speak to three cybersecurity experts about how CISOs can build cyber-resilient defences for these uncertain times.

As businesses intensify their digital transformation efforts to stay competitive, many find themselves confronted by a growing array of sophisticated cyberattacks that challenge traditional defences.  In the face of evolving cyber threats, enterprises must consider a broader spectrum of solutions. How can businesses harness cutting-edge cyber security innovations and leverage the power of telco data to fortify their defences?  

While much is discussed about commercial considerations around AI deployments, less attention is given to the cybersecurity implications of AI. Yet cybersecurity is a critical concern given how AI systems are attractive targets for cyberattacks due to their inherent complexity and reliance on vast amounts of data. How can organisations prepare the ground for generative AI. And how can they find the right balance between innovation and resilience, effectively leveraging AI to leapfrog ahead?

Cyberthreat actors have continually sought to create new malware and find novel ways to embed harmful elements within files, using them as a medium to infiltrate and compromise enterprises. The situation is worsened by the ongoing convergence of traditional IT networks with Operational Technology (OT) networks. But while enterprises have turned to antivirus software, single anti-malware engines are no longer sufficient against the sheer volume of threats. How can organisations protect their increasingly complex environments from file-borne threats, including threats that don’t currently exist? Read on to learn more.

Ransomware is evolving rapidly, posing significant threats to businesses worldwide. To defend against this digital menace, traditional cybersecurity measures are no longer enough, especially as some ransomware variants are known to target data backups. To withstand increasingly sophisticated ransomware threats, businesses can no longer rely on outdated security measures. They must adopt a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to cybersecurity that encompasses everything, including their storage systems. Read on to learn more about how organisations can build ransomware resilience.

As cyber threats proliferate and the frequency of cyberattacks grows, organisations must prioritise their ability not just to thwart them but also to recover and ensure business continuity. However, building strong cyber resilience is easier said than done due to a fragmented approach to managing digital systems and the diverse environments of modern IT deployments. A new approach is required for cyber resilience. To be effective, such an offering must be comprehensive without placing onerous demands on the cybersecurity team and provide around-the-clock coverage. Read on to learn more about Cyber Resiliency as a Service (CRaaS).

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, is AI a formidable ally, an emerging cybersecurity headache, or both? We spoke with Damian Leach of Seaco, who shared some possible pitfalls of AI in cybersecurity and how organisations can get the most out of it. He also discusses key questions the CISO must ask when evaluating an AI-powered cybersecurity solution – and why the human is not replaceable. 

The convergence of AI with cybersecurity and the rapid evolution of technology is blurring the boundaries in cybersecurity. At GovWare Focus in July, over 150 cyber leaders came together to discuss how the rapid adoption of new tech has profound implications for the evolution of leadership roles and business innovations, compliance considerations, and how to build greater cyber resilience in today's complex threatscape, with a lens on CII sectors.

Cybersecurity teams have their work cut out for them when acquiring new cybersecurity solutions. They must juggle multiple tasks simultaneously, including resisting pressure from internal stakeholders, conducting proof-of-concept evaluations, collaborating with vendors, and keeping users appeased. How can cybersecurity leaders navigate the chaos and emerge with the right tools? We speak with Hoo Chuan-Wei, CISO of StarHub and Yaron Slutzky, CSO of Agoda on this important but rarely-talked-about topic.
