The Cloud Security Challenge: Managing the Third-Party Risks

Speaker:
Sridhar Govardhan, Senior Director and Head of Information Security, Flipkart

Digital transformation to the cloud has resulted in increased dependency on third-party vendors to manage security tasks. This means managing the security risks involved is becoming a bigger challenge. Many organizations still have a long way to go in strengthening governance when it comes to vendor management as they move to cloud.

Enterprises are attempting to devise various policies, procedures and frameworks that are effective in dealing with third-party cloud service providers and come up with appropriate contractual agreements.

This session describes:

  • How to evaluate a vendor's risk to your business in your cloud journey;
  • The types of adversarial campaigns and tools that are used to infiltrate third parties;
  • How to implement policies and procedures that mitigate third-party risks;;
  • Creating an effective vendor risk program.

Rising Cybersecurity Risks and Breaches: Assessing Cyber Insurance

Speaker:
S.V. Sunder Krishnan, Chief Risk Officer, Reliance Life Insurance

About 50 banks in India have cyber insurance policies to cover breach response costs, risk mitigation services, notification, forensic services, public relations, crisis management and any customer loss which can be quantified, as well as third-party risk exposure and other specialty services, such as hiring an auditor.

The insurance research firm Allianz says that cyber risk is a growing concern for Indian businesses as a result of major data breaches and privacy scandals, IT outages and the introduction of tighter data protection rules in the European Union and elsewhere. As a result, more Indian enterprises with global exposure, including those in the financial services, IT, pharmaceutical and other sectors, are considering cyber insurance as key risk management and cost-control tool.

This session explains:

  • How to develop comprehensive risk coverage policies tailor-made for the risk assessment of a sector and the business;
  • How India's pending data protection bill could fuel demand for cyber insurance;
  • How to create an effective risk management framework to assess risk and insurance coverage.

Balancing Data Security and Digital Transformation: The Enterprise Challenge

Speaker:
Claire Hatcher, Global Head of Fraud Prevention, Kaspersky

According to the 2019 Cyberthreat Defense Report, nearly eight out of 10 organizations were victims of at least one successful cyberattack in 2018. While corporate strategies around digital transformation are driving measurable business outcomes, they are - at the same time - creating new security risks through the adoption of new technologies, increased complexity, and expansion of the attack surface with increased fraud.

The biggest question is how can security leaders avoid being obstacles and actually become catalysts for change and deliver business value and mitigate risks arising out of this digital transformation.

This session discusses:

  • Protecting data generated in the digital transformation journey
  • Balancing fraud prevention, whilst driving business value and ensuring a good consumer experience
  • Assessing how new security architectures and technologies can address the complexities and mitigate risks in reducing fraud.
11:45 am - 12:15 pm Track B

Enabling Trust in the Digital World and Managing Risks

Speaker:
Ganesh Prasad, Pre-Sales Manager, India , RSA

The modern digital economy is built on a foundation of trust, which is becoming increasingly more fragile and vulnerable to risks that we are just starting to understand. Digital technologies are a force for progress. Yet, they are also a source of distrust in the very technology that is intended to drive that progress. The paradox is that as organizations go digital, their biggest asset becomes data, which also serves as the biggest potential liability when it comes to building or breaking trust.

This session discusses:

  • How to enable trust in the digital world
  • Understanding digital risk priorities
  • Building business resiliency

Zero Trust and IT, IoT and OT - How to Start and How to be Sure

Speaker:
Steven Hunter, Senior Director, System Engineering, APJ, Forescout Technologies

The Zero Trust model of information security has become a fixture in both the strategies of enterprise security teams and the roadmaps of security solution developers and for good reason. Perimeter-focused security architectures that default to high trust levels on the internal network continue to fail disastrously and expensively. Zero Trust protects sensitive data by limiting access to only those who require it and strictly enforcing access through intelligent access control and network segmentation.

Attend this session to:

  • Explore options for where to start with a Zero Trust Model in your enterprise and finding quick wins
  • Understand the challenge of knowing whether your Zero Trust controls are actually effective
  • Explore an innovative approach to obtaining this assurance
12:20 pm - 12:50 pm Track B

Racing Against the Adversary: How to Win in the Era of the 18-Minute Breach

Speaker:
Ankur Patial, Sr. Technical Consultant (Cyber Security), CrowdStrike India

Security operations centers must scale up to better detect cyberthreats early. New research on "breakout time" reveals strategies on how you can use the 1-10-60 Rule to benchmark your organization in responding to adversary's activities before it results in a full-blown breach.

What is breakout time? It's the time it takes for an intruder to begin moving laterally outside of the initial beachhead to other systems in the network. The average breakout time analyzed over the previous year came in at one hour and 58 minutes.

Fireside Chat: Nation-State Attacks: Are You the Next Target?

Speakers:
Amit Sharma, Advisor (Cyber) and Director at the Office of Secretary, Department of Defence
Brijesh Singh, Inspector General of Police-Training, Govt. of Maharashtra

Nation-state attacks often have close links to the military intelligence or state control apparatus with a high degree of technical expertise. India is fighting off an array of disruptive attacks that include advanced malware, sophisticated distributed denial-of-service attacks and nation-state actors targeting DNS protocols as part of ongoing espionage campaigns.

India could be vulnerable to cyber espionage because its critical infrastructure is becoming increasingly dependent on automated data processing and vast computer networks, making it vulnerable to such information warfare techniques.

Are organizations in India well-equipped to mitigate the risk of nation-state actors that have a 'license to hack"?

In this session, Amit Sharma, adviser (cyber) and director at the office of secretary, Department of Defense, Ministry of Defence, discusses.

  • New techniques used by the nation-state actors to steal critical data information;
  • New cyber defense techniques/strategies India has to adopt in tackling the nation-state threats;
  • Law enforcement challenges in tackling such attacks.
1:30 pm - 2:00 pm Track B

Building Effective Data Protection Strategies

Speaker:
Ved Prakash, Senior Business Development Manager, Thales Group

Complying with regulations and standards, including GDPR, PCI DSS, the RBI Gopala Krishna Committee report and the UIDAI's Aadhaar biometric, has increased the need for stringent data protection measures. India's upcoming data privacy bill will further mandate all organizations to safeguard sensitive data.

Many organizations are failing to effectively implement the last line of defense and data security controls, processes and policies because they're still focusing on securing the perimeter. What's needed is a new data-centric approach to protect and control sensitive information and ensure data confidentiality, integrity and availability.

This session will discuss:

  • How do build effective data protection strategies;
  • Tackling insider threats;
  • Deploying the last line of defense and controls to protect beyond the perimeter.

Making Enterprise Security 'Future-Proof' - Raising the Bar on Cyber Defenses

Speaker:
Loknath Behera, State Police Chief and Director General of Police, Kerala State

Digitization across sectors has led to data proliferation, and organizations are struggling to handle the sheer volume of data. The abundance of valuable information has captured the attention of subversive elements, while cybercriminals have breached networks and compromised billions of records, not only causing revenue losses but impacting brand reputation.

Organizations in all industries have seen their core processes and assumptions challenged by dramatic changes in regulatory environments, competitive landscapes, technological upheaval, customer behavior, macroeconomic conditions and evolving security threats.

The new model of information security is open and fuzzy because the systems that we want to protect also must be open to the outside world. So we need a new security model and new cyber defenses that can help enterprises get "future ready" to fight the "unknown, unknown" threats.

This exclusive session describes:

  • Lessons from the past in dealing with the enterprise security chaos;
  • How security architecture and new cyberdefenses can be made simple and transparent and what needs to be protected;
