Head’s up, cybersecurity luminaries: There’s still time to apply for access to the new Executive Summit at Black Hat Asia, which kicks off in Singapore next week!
If you’re not familiar with the Executive Summit yet, know that it’s a focused one-day event, next Wednesday, March 20, to be specific, where CISOs and other cybersecurity executives have opportunities to hear from a variety of industry experts shaping the next generation of information security strategy.
In a concise session on “Future-Proofing Supply Chain Against Emerging Cyber-Physical Threats,” for example, PSA Corporation’s Steven Sim will show you how the latest round of industrialization has further blurred the line between physical and cyberthreats. These threats, especially the recent NotPetya attacks, are a rude warning that cyber resilience is even more critical to ensuring business continuity, which is why this session aims to share security and governance strategies that can be applied holistically against such threats.
Later in the day you’ll have an opportunity to hear from Barclays’ Theo Nassiokas on “How Exactly Can Security Executives Mitigate Cyber Risk?” Nassiokas will share real-world cyberthreat examples, explain how to quantify cyberthreats, and offer a glimpse of the biggest challenges executives are up against. This talk will also connect cybersecurity events to real actors and geopolitical events reported in the press, and identify alleged state-sponsored cyberthreat actors and the alleged crimes they committed.
Plus, those who apply for the Executive Summit and are selected to attend will receive a Black Hat Asia Business Pass, a ticket to the Black Hat Asia VIP party (where you can meet speakers, trainers, review board members, and fellow attendees), and access to great Black Hat Asia Features like the Arsenal open-source tool demo area, and the Business Hall.
If you haven’t yet, apply now to take part in high-level networking and knowledge-sharing at the Black Hat Asia Executive Summit!
Black Hat Asia returns to the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore March 26-29, 2019. For more information on what's happening at the event and how to register, check out the Black Hat website.
The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises TodayManaging system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
