Traditional security tools often operate in silos, making it difficult for organisations to piece various alerts together for a complete picture of their security environment. Collecting and correlating data from multiple security layers, XDR can detect threats that may go unnoticed by standalone security tools. The right XDR solution can help organisations overcome the limitations of siloed security tools and tackle today’s dynamic cyber threats. Here’s what XDR can do and how you can benefit from it.

As new applications are rolled out on the disparate mix of systems employed by organisations, businesses invariably find themselves grappling with hurdles around deployment, monitoring, and security. As apps become more fragmented and distributed across different environments, how can enterprises bridge the gap to achieve true application portability and fully secure their APIs?

As the digital world rapidly evolves, CISOs around the world face the tough challenge of defending their organisations from a constantly expanding range of cyber threats. How can CISOs balance forging ahead with innovation and maintaining security?​​​​

Every organisation today is inextricably connected within a vast web of intricate dependencies. Consider the hundreds of digital devices in a typical office. From laptops to servers, networking appliances to office printers, every one of these devices is built by an external party. These products incorporate hundreds, sometimes thousands, of components sourced from a revolving door of suppliers, who might in turn rely on their network of sub-suppliers. The result is a complex, fluid supply chain laden with a myriad of invisible risks – and where a single weak link could potentially compromise the entire system.

Securing an organisation's assets in today’s increasingly complex landscape has never been more challenging. Modern digital environments are incredibly diverse and extend across a multitude of platforms – from traditional IT assets to public clouds and containers, SaaS applications, mobile devices, and more. As conventional approaches to asset management prove inadequate in the face of this complexity, how can cybersecurity leaders gain a clearer view of their entire digital landscape to properly secure them?

From temporary disruption to potentially causing massive financial damage and irreparable harm to reputation, cyber security has evolved into a strategic priority that can make or break a business. As digital systems become even more sophisticated and interdependent, organisations must do more to adapt and fortify their defences to protect sensitive data, maintain customer trust, and safeguard their bottom line. This means understanding the new dangers and adopting a reinvigorated approach to cyber security.

The relentless pace of technology development is often tailed by the emergence of new cyber threats. Organisations must remain vigilant against these dangers, as they navigate uncharted waters such as generative AI and impending paradigm shifts driven by quantum computers. Christopher Painter of the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise Foundation and Professor Lam Kwok Yan of the Nanyang Technological University share their thoughts about defending against new technological threats and why cybersecurity is the foundation for innovation.  

Ransomware has grown rapidly into a global scourge that affects businesses and government agencies alike. The counter ransomware initiative was set up to combat this scourge by bringing together experts in cybersecurity, law enforcement, and policymaking.  As countries – including Singapore – mobilise their resources, Stéphane Duguin, CEO of the CyberPeace Institute, explains how modern ransomware groups work, the threat they pose, and the challenges faced by law enforcement as they tackle this growing threat. 

CISOs today are confronted with complex, constantly evolving cybersecurity challenges. At GovWare Focus, cybersecurity leaders met with their peers, partners, and policymakers to discuss a broad range of topics, including the importance of collaborative defence, automation, and focusing on the basics when securing networks.

Complying with relevant cybersecurity standards and best practices can significantly bolster an organisation's cybersecurity posture. But how can businesses ensure that their plans are correctly implemented, and how can they tell when standards or best practices are not correctly applied? We speak with Siddharth Deshpande of Palo Alto Networks on how organisations can operationalise cyber best practices and establish trust with internal stakeholders.
