A Practical Approach to Addressing Operational Risk

The key to effective risk management does not end at communication and resilience; you must embark on the journey of addressing your own operational risks.

In this sessions, you will:
- Learn how to implement a program that engages your front line to identify the small control failures
- Discover the risks of these small control failures

The Cyber Risk Landscape: Vulnerability Management and Threat Intelligence

With organizations embracing a remote workforce, the attack surface has greatly expanded and introduced new levels of cyber risk—exposing flaws in existing vulnerability management strategies. For remote employee devices, these flaws often include inconsistent patching refreshes, the inability to pinpoint exploitability, and unclear collaboration between IT and Security.

According to Gartner, one of the three most important SOAR capabilities are threat and vulnerability management. Like automation, vulnerability management can support your security solutions by identifying issues and security breaches, making it easier to decide on a course of action.

In 2019, the numbers of vulnerabilities increased by over 17% from the year previously (Imperva) and in light of the increasingly distributed and remote workforce, we can only expect this number to continue to rise.

In this session, we will discuss:
- Providing centralized reporting and visibility of exploitability data, remediation progress, and playbook effectiveness
- Establishing workflows for a variety of use cases, including application and IT-based vulnerabilities, and software misconfiguration
- How to accelerate your response by 25%, dramatically reduce case backlog
- How Threat Intelligence Can be Used to Create a Phishing Playbook

Join our industry experts and customers as we look at how organisations have had to radically transform as a result of COVID 19 and how this has impacted employee experience. 

During the panel discussion we will cover:
The forcing function of COVID 19 – new ways of working, changing workplaces, and the impact on employee experience
What the future holds as workforces shift to hybrid ways of working 
How, as a result, technology is enabling organisations to better adapt while maintaining a high focus human-centric design

We once thought digital transformation would define the “future of work.” We now see the need to define it in much broader terms.

In this research-based presentation, Josh Bersin, global industry analyst, will describe the different aspects of work that leaders must consider when planning for the new future.
- The new world of remote and distributed work
- Agile teams and agile careers go mainstream
- A new focus on wellbeing and resilience
- New and upgraded skills for everyone
- The need for a personalized strategy for employee experience

Join our panel of industry experts and customers as we take a look at the future of customer experience and how it is transforming as we emerge from the disruption of COVID 19. During the panel discussion we will cover:
- The impact of organisations scrambling to work from home in 2020 and moving to a hybrid model in 2021 ​
- Technology as both an enabler and hindrance​ - Customer experience expectations
- Why people are fed up being sold to when they want service ​
- Why Customer experience needs to go beyond a focus engagement and pivot to resolution"

Join Sam Roddick, Global Lead for Deloitte Digital as he shares how digital technology can elevate the human experience for customers, employees, and partners by unlocking human potential and accelerating human connectivity. Looking at why it matters and what it means for your business.

Join us to hear from industry experts and customers on the role IT and Enterprise Risk plays in accelerating digital transformation and building a future-ready connected enterprise.
IT must evolve to provide technology services, respond to issues, manage expectations while delivering value at speed and scale.

During the panel discussion we will cover: ​
Covid has impacted the way we operate. What IT innovations are you seeing today that will impact businesses in the next 3-5 years ​
How should enterprises move from reactive problem solving to proactive issue resolution​
IT Skills needed for the future​
IT Transformation Journey of our panelists​
How ServiceNow has helped customers in their journey to be a future-ready connected enterprise ​

In this IDC presentation, Sandra Ng will highlight the new expectations in a digital economy, post COVID-19 outbreak, and the impact they have on organizations in 2021 and beyond. In 2020, we saw digital adaptation as organizations invested in projects that addressed weaknesses resulting from the pandemic.

This will continue for some enterprises as new operational requirements emerge. 2021 will also open new chapters for organizations on their way to the next normal.

Although >80% of the organizations in APAC recognized the strategic importance of agility in the future success of their companies, <20% are truly agile.

There is therefore great urgency for a new work model. Business agility is/will be key in this journey as work is being redefined and business benchmarks are being reset.

Organizations need to prepare themselves to compete differently and the sooner/faster this is done, the more digitally resilient they will be.

With the accelerating pace of change, traditional business models & processes will not suffice in a digital economy. Speed is everything. Overcoming a silo mentality is the biggest organisational obstacle to improving the customer experience. Across the changing business landscape, CIO’s face immense pressure to deliver innovative outcomes & modernise operations. Join Dave Wright, Chief Innovation Officer, ServiceNow, to discuss the challenges, opportunities and how a new wave of citizen developers are experimenting with new ways of working.

How to Transform and Automate Security Operations: A Case Study

Automating security operations eases the load for your security team by detecting threats in your environment, determining the response to threats, and reducing the amount of time consuming manual work that goes into SecOps.

Automation and orchestration are no longer intimidating but have actually become trusted allies in the fight against increasing demands and limited resources. In 2021, your company will depend ever more heavily on digital services, which means you must adapt and extend security and vulnerability operations.

In this session, we will discuss:
- How digitized, cross-functional workflows can embed best practices, efficiency, and security resilience into operations
- The benefits of automating your security operations
- The adoption and advances in both incident and vulnerability response

How To Build Resilience with Effective Risk Management

According to Quantivate, only 36% of organizations have a formal enterprise risk management program. An effective risk management solution allows organizations to identify and take action against risks and vulnerabilities, building resilience and strength, and keeping visibility at the core of their security model.

Resilience demands that we make a conscious commitment to anticipate, prevent, respond, and adapt to adverse events. To be resilient, we must optimise our risk management. As we inch toward the end of 2020, one overwhelming takeaway is the need to plan and execute risk management at a different pace - in real time. Business continuity, customer retention, workforce productivity -- these pillars of business success depend on effective operational risk management across the entire organization.

In this session, we will discuss:
- How to ‘anticipate’ risk using IRM and BCM to aggregate business and asset context
- ‘Prevent’ by establishing indicators, updating response plans, and proactively testing event scenarios
- Monitoring to ‘respond and recover’ to support quick response of your action plans
- Arming your team to ‘adapt’ by collecting and analyzing data to identify root cause and necessary controls and process adjustments
- How to achieve true resilience, and embed risk and compliance processes into daily work
