Creating a Winning Security Strategy for 2019

Businesses are facing specific threats that include

- Vastly dispersed offices, across multiple continents
- Increasingly erratic (even called flexible) work patterns
- Ever increasing threats from the wild-west cyberspace

SD-WAN is proposed as a technology that can solve the above and more but there are several obstacles that you need to be aware of before you embrace this technology.

Join us on this educational webinar on SD-WAN as we discuss the challenges and opportunities offered by this technology and what you can do to decrease your risk exposure.

The panelists on this webinar:

Amar Singh, CEO, Cyber Management Alliance
Lee Dolson, Director of Engineering, ZSCALER

The author Maya Angelou has said: “…people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

The fact is security that doesn’t work for your people, doesn’t work.

We need to understand our own ‘human operating systems’ to ensure we can be effective in designing and managing innovative and collaborative solutions for our own ‘human error’ – the most significant threat to our organisations security and resilience. If, like us, you believe that there is a better way to achieve lasting behaviour change, then join us and share your experiences and insights.

The webinar will:

- Outline and illustrate some of the principles that should underpin an engaging and effective cyber awareness training.
- Highlight the critical questions you should be asking in assessing any awareness training solution.
- Highlight techniques now being used to make cyber awareness training engaging and fun,
- Discuss new research designed to develop real ‘people-centred’ security.

The Panellists

- Nick Wilding, General Manager, Cyber Resilience, AXELOS and Head of RESILIA Frontline
- Amar Singh, Founder and CEO, Cyber Management Alliance
- Lizzie Coles-Kemp, Professor of Information Security, Royal Holloway, University of London

Interesting new research reveals that organisations in India and APJ face a series of cybersecurity shortcomings in the areas of education, company culture, skills, budgeting and operational management.

The attackers are attracted to the "low hanging fruit" and green pastures as companies in India and the region are only just coming to terms with the negative impact of being insecure and not ready for cyber-attacks.

Join Amar Singh & Ben Verschaeren as they discuss why overcoming these challenges won’t be easy and the opportunities available to strengthen these areas in addition to the hardening of the technology platforms and tools used.

Ben, based in Australia, is Sophos' Global Solutions Engineer and threat researcher. Ben is responsible for researching the threat landscape and educating the Sophos team, customers and partners on the latest threats.

What the Industry Tries to Cover Up and What you Need to know.

"This is the most secure solution that you will ever need. It has Machine Learning, advanced Artificial Intelligence, block-chain and blah blah blah."

Yet, cyber-crime is increasing!

Like in other sectors, IT and cyber have their fair share of Snake-oil sellers. However, if you include the blow-out-of-proportionists and aggressive selling tactics, it gets more complicated, dangerous and sometimes leaves you with little more than unadulterated lies.

Join Amar Singh and Chris Eves from Alsid as they separate the wheat from the chaff and filter-out the noise to show you the stuff that really matters when it comes to building a cyber-resilient business.

Amar Singh is an experienced Cyber and Privacy practitioner and is the CEO of Cyber Management Alliance Ltd and the founder of Wisdom of Crowds.

Morrisons, the fifth largest super market in UK, will go down in history for all the wrong reasons. The inability to not just prevent but detect a massive data leak has meant that its brand name is being dragged through the mud and dirt, not once, but many times over. Yes Morrisons could have done many things and this webinar is NOT about beating up the brand or pointing a finger.

Experts in this webinar will discuss a better, simpler approach that may reduce or at least make these kind of incidents very difficult to materialise. Join Amar Singh, Barnaby Davies and Jeremy Wittkop as they take a positive and proactive approach to preventing brand-damaging data breaches.

Background: The Court of Appeal (October 2018) upheld a decision of the High Court holding Morrisons vicariously liable for data breaches caused by the actions of its employee, even though the employee’s actions were specifically intended to harm Morrisons.

File storage & sharing should not just be about the size but also privacy and most importantly about maximum security.

* Is your data protected by default?
* Who has access to your data?
* Who can index your data?
* Where is your data stored?

These and many more questions will ensure you select the right type of service that offers NOT only you but your clients the assurance that you take privacy and security seriously - especially when it comes to the cloud.

Join Amar Singh as he discusses the following with Istvan Lam, the founder and CEO of Tresorit:

- How to design an intercept-proof file sync & sharing service?

- What does End-To-End encryption service actually mean?

- How to combine on premise equivalent security with consumer grade simplicity?

- Where is your data actually stored and what would happen in case of a breach of those cloud servers?

- What does ZERO-Knowledge mean in the real world?

With the explosion of cloud-based cloud ready applications, many organisations struggle with optimising application performance for cloud or hybrid environments. The culprit, in many cases, is the connectivity from the offices to the cloud. The wide area network, (WAN) connecting offices to the Internet and to other offices, is still playing catchup. WAN technology is stuck in the old-age.

Think about this: Does your business, small or large, have two or more broadband connections, maybe a broadband and a dial up or some other form of Internet connectivity? Apart from the security risk of having too many Internet points of exit, your business is also wasting money and resources in managing these various connectivity channels.

In this webinar, Amar Singh and Steve Vickers explore the problems typically faced by organisations based on the latest research and show how organisations can create a seamless and secure SD-WAN infrastructure without having to manage multiple products.

Amar Singh, CEO and co-founder of Cyber Management Alliance, recently had the pleasure to sit down with Ashish Khanna, information security officer at Dubai Health Authority, to briefly talk about what led Khanna to Dubai and to discuss some of the life lessons he learned along the way.

We do two things in this webinar - review how the UK-GCHQ Certified Training course, Cyber Incident Planning & Response or CIPR has helped organisations like the NHS and BMJ and discuss how you too can create actionable playbooks.

This webinar will cover topics such as:
