> Practical strategies and key capabilities to stop threats across email and beyond

How to Defend Against Evolving Social Engineering Cyber Attacks

As the cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, so does the role of the CISO. The latest findings from Proofpoint’s Voice of the CISO 2025 Report, based on insights from 1,600 global CISOs, point to a familiar challenge with renewed urgency: people remain the greatest cybersecurity risk—now compounded by AI disruption and increasing boardroom pressure.

Join our panel of cybersecurity leaders from across EMEA as we examine the findings of Proofpoint’s Voice of the CISO 2025 Report. From insider threats and GenAI governance to growing tensions in the c-suite, we’ll unpack the top trends shaping the modern CISO’s agenda. 

You’ll gain insight into:

* Why human error remains #1 vulnerability – and why awareness isn’t translating into behaviour
* How CISOs are managing GenAI risk, balancing enablement with the fear of data loss
* Why rising confidence doesn’t equal readiness, with many CISOs still bracing for major attacks
* The mounting pressure inside the boardroom, and what’s causing misalignment at the top

Find out what’s keeping CISOs up at night and how they’re planning for what’s next. Whether you’re a security leader, risk professional or business executive, this is your opportunity to benchmark your strategy and hear directly from those on the front lines.

2025 Update: The Biggest & Boldest Insider Threats

Despite significant investment in traditional DLP tools, many organizations still struggle to prevent data loss. Why? Because legacy solutions weren’t designed for the way people work today. With hybrid work, cloud file sharing, and AI-fueled productivity tools, data protection requires human-centric insights that combine content and behavior more than ever.

Beyond Legacy: Why Traditional DLP Falls Short

Phishing remains one of the most effective cyberattack methods and it’s evolving fast. So far, in 2025 we’ve seen attackers deploy more sophisticated attacks, leveraging AI, geopolitical tensions, social engineering and new digital channels to target individuals and organisations across EMEA.

Proofpoint’s Carl Leonard, EMEA Cybersecurity Strategist, and Davide Canali, Threat Research Director, are back with an update on the 2025 threat landscape. They’ll be joined by Haifa Ketiti, Staff Sales Engineer, and Anna Akselevich, Threat Researcher, with real-life case examples from the field.

We’ll review the threat landscape across EMEA with special interest to developments in the Middle East. With increased digitalisation and geopolitical instability in this region, threat actors - both state-sponsored and criminal - are launching sophisticated phishing campaigns that ripple across Europe. 

Join our cybersecurity experts as they uncover with real examples the most cunning types of phishing attacks threatening organisations today, including:
• Business Email Compromise (BEC): still the silent assassin, now enhanced with AI-generated messages and deepfake audio.
• Credential Phishing: targeting cloud platforms and collaboration tools like Teams and SharePoint.
• AitM (Adversary-in-the-Middle) phishing: the growing availability of kits and services that bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 
• Brand Impersonation: exploiting trust in consumer-facing brands to lure users into clicking.
• Smishing and Vishing: expanding beyond email to mobile and voice channels.

…and more!

Make sure your users don’t get caught in the net with a new wave of phishing attacks in 2025!

Phishing in 2025: AI, Social Engineering & the New Threat Landscape

Recent Proofpoint research reveals that 99%1 of organizations face regular account takeover (ATO) attempts. Attackers often employ phishing and other techniques as part of multi-stage attacks aimed at compromising user accounts. Additionally, attackers are increasingly targeting suppliers and business partners, using compromised third-party accounts to broaden the attack surface and intensify the impact on your organization.

The Two Sides of Account Compromise: Defending Against Employee and Supplier Account Takeover Attacks

Preventing Data Loss in Higher Education

UBA has become a valuable tool for threat detection, but behavior analytics can be used on more than just users.  Find out how behavior analytics can be used across your entire stack to help improve threat detection and mitigation.

Moving Beyond UBA for Better Threat Detection

For decades, cyber-attackers have appeared to have the upper hand in an ever-changing and increasingly sophisticated information risk landscape. Some would argue that organized cybercriminals have more effectively leveraged information sharing to their advantage. But what could tip the scales in the other direction?
 
A challenge facing Chief Information Security Officers is how to help senior executives and Boards of Directors understand and visualize the real risks that face their specific organizations. Beyond general vulnerabilities, what would the intent of the attacker be? What paths may they take to cause the most disruption to the business, the most damage to systems, or even the most danger to infrastructure safety?
 
Applying cutting-edge research in attack path modeling led Darktrace to use AI to discover, simulate, and prioritize cyber risk from inside a company. Hear from two top security executives whose teams are testing new technologies in these areas and how this goes far beyond new shiny products to continuously test controls to mitigate real-world risks and finally give defenders the advantage.

Attack Path Modeling: Giving the Good Guys the Advantage

Regulations mean well and serve a higher purpose but often lead to overhead costs, complexity, and time-consuming management for any organization. In addition, the difficulty in understanding a regulation, let alone multiple compliance rules, can set your team up for failure before you even start. Meeting compliance requirements often requires cross-collaboration between various groups to achieve a common goal. 

So the question is, can we overcome compliance and risk management challenges with automation? What are the pros and cons of automating Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) processes?

This presentation will address various techniques available to manage regulatory concerns at scale. You will learn how automating Cybersecurity Risk Management and Compliance can potentially eliminate repetitive procedures, risk of human error, and misinterpretation of regulations. We’ll discuss how automation tools can create a cohesive workflow to achieve efficiency, cut the expense and time to audit from months to weeks. And most importantly, how to do it right to achieve successful outcomes.

Automating Cybersecurity Risk Management and Compliance

Many organizations have no possible way of knowing the security status of their remote employee network. They’re unable to detect unknown exposures. They’re not warned of critical issues, and they’re unaware of vulnerabilities caused by employee laptops openly exposed to the public.

Organizations need to securely manage:

- Employees working from insecure networks (homes, cafes, airports, co-working locations, etc.) without using VPN
- ISPs leaving Telnet enabled by default on leased routers in order to troubleshoot
- Misconfigurations on remote employee networks that expose critical information

Enter the Xpanse ASM for Remote Workers module. It combines endpoint details collected by Cortex® XDR™ with public asset information discovered by Xpanse. It then identifies security issues and alerts SecOps specialists.

In this webinar, we’ll cover use cases on: 

- Securing the attack surface of your remote employees
- Improving incident visibility and context by combining outside-in and inside-out data
- Discovering endpoints in your networks that don’t have XDR installed
- Identifying employees working in multiple locations or who aren’t using VPNs

Is Your Remote Employee Network Vulnerable?

Cybersecurity risk continues to become more complex to manage. Today, it’s not enough to focus solely on the organization’s internal risk as control weaknesses and gaps in the organization’s business partners could ultimately lead to failure. Next-generation cybersecurity practices require organizations to align internal and external cybersecurity risk processes. Integrating third-party risk management with cybersecurity program is the foundation for successful cybersecurity program management.                                                              
                                                                                               
Join our live expert panel to learn more about the intersection of third-party risk management and internal cybersecurity practices.      
                       
We’ll review new strategies and outline the steps to mature your program. You will learn how to:     
                                                                                                                 
∙ Map external third-party risk to internal cybersecurity controls 
∙ Evaluate control effectiveness against both internal and external risks
∙ Identify potential fourth-party risk
∙ Prioritize cyber/third-party risk projects based on control gaps and domain inefficiencies
∙ Build a united cybersecurity program that protects against internal and external threats

Align Internal Cybersecurity Practices with External Third-Party Risk Management

According to Gartner, By 2023, 30% of CISOs will be measured on their ability to create value for the business. Part of the value will come in the form of risk management and reduction as well as the ability to communicate that value to key organizational stakeholders.

Organizations across the globe will be navigating new government regulations fast-tracked for cybersecurity standards, the growth of supply chain complexity and associated vulnerabilities, and the scarcity in the cybersecurity talent pool, to name a few of the challenges.

It will become more important than ever that security and IT are aligned with business objectives

In this session, the discussion will focus on the current enterprise security landscape and a discuss ways for IT leadership to proactively mitigate some of the best practices to mitigate and circumvent those risks.
