The current data security and privacy protection landscape is awash with tools, acronyms, buzzwords that promise to make data breaches and privacy incidents a thing of the past. Yet hotel chains, healthcare providers, banks, department stores and even governments constantly fall victim to data breaches, ransomware or nation-state attacks. 

The plain truth is that tools are only as good as the people that use them and the processes that go with it. Two thousand years ago, the Roman empire had better military tools than the nations they conquered. Yet through time, the Romans fell to the barbarians and are merely remembered through their ruins. Likewise, companies with the latest and most buzzworthy technology implemented still manage to fall victim to attacks. 

In this presentation, industry thought leader Ralph Villanueva will tap into over 15 years’ experience of data security and privacy protection to show why ultimately, the people behind the tools and the processes they use matter more in securing your organization’s data. 

Key Takeaways:
 - How to best deploy tools in the most cost-effective way to optimize benefits.
 - How to best deploy tools to mitigate data security risks from internal and external threats. 
 - The importance of a balanced and holistic approach to data security that equally considers people, processes and technology.

As cloud supply chain attacks escalate in sophistication, traditional SBOMs alone prove insufficient for comprehensive security. While SBOMs provide valuable component inventories, they lack runtime verification capabilities—creating a critical blind spot that malicious actors increasingly exploit. This gap between static analysis and runtime behavior represents one of the most significant vulnerabilities in modern cloud environments.

The "Bill of Behavior" (BoB) approach addresses this challenge by providing vendor-supplied profiles of expected runtime behaviors. Generated using eBPF technology, BoBs codify legitimate syscalls, file access patterns and network communications. This enables immediate anomaly detection without custom rule creation, allowing organizations to verify software integrity throughout the supply chain and during execution, dramatically reducing the attack surface while simplifying security operations.

Join Dr. Constanze Roedig, Key Researcher at SBA-Research and Founder of Fusioncore.ai, to discover how this emerging standard complements existing SBOM frameworks to create verifiable trust in your cloud ecosystem.

Securing the Human Element: Why People Remain Cloud Security's Top Vulnerability in 2025

Insider threats are one of the most challenging security risks in multicloud environments, where authorized users can exploit fragmented access controls and limited visibility across platforms. When organizations lack comprehensive oversight of user activities, data flows and privilege escalation paths, the risk posed by human error and malicious insiders is much greater.



Multicloud architectures amplify insider threat risks through inconsistent identity management, scattered audit trails, and complex permission structures that create blind spots for security teams. Strategic threat modeling designed around insider risks enables organizations to map user access patterns, identify privilege abuse scenarios, and implement behavioral monitoring across all cloud platforms before incidents occur.

EDR, XDR, MDR: Filtering Out the Alphabet Soup of Cybersecurity

Effective cyber defense requires time-consuming analysis and a level of data aggregation and correlation that is at best an art, and at worst cost prohibitive. Meanwhile, attackers remain agile and inventive, rapidly changing their methods with minimal costs (to them).  Automation brings with it the promise of leveling the playing field, giving more time back to defenders and keeping us equally agile. Unfortunately, it is far more common that automation in cybersecurity expands already monolithic tool sets, extends vendor lock-in, and increases our support costs.  

This talk will outline a pragmatic approach to automation in cyber defense that increases efficiency without breaking your budget. Attendees will learn how to identify candidate tasks and workflows ripe for automation, apply a repeatable approach to introducing automation, and avoid common pitfalls in building a more automated cyber defense.

A Pragmatic Approach to Automating Your Defenses

Are you confident that your Data Protection strategy is effective? With cloud apps, mobility, and state-sponsored threats on the rise, your data is now in danger more than ever. Securing distributed data has become a top challenge in today's organizations, and most security approaches fail to approach the problem holistically. Therefore it’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate your security model.

5 Critical Steps to Secure Cloud Apps and Data

With the post-pandemic work environment taking shape, CISOs must now come to terms with permanently remote and hybrid workforces, the decline of VPNs and perimeter-based security technologies and other inalterable changes. At this “point of no return,” security leaders require an updated roadmap to effectively manage new and improved cyber threats and a user base stretched out across locations doing work with third party and non-sanctioned applications. Attackers are growing sneakier and more sophisticated in penetrating the less defined barriers of the new workforce. CISOs should rethink old strategy and risk models in order to secure their companies in this destabilized post-pandemic world.

In this talk, Quentyn will take a light-hearted view of eight issues he sees frequently today; how they have developed, and how to avoid them keeping you up at night.

8 Things That Keep CISOs Up At Night (You Won't Believe Number 4!)

“Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it” —Winston Churchill. 

If the age of Covid has taught us anything, it’s that we need to be nimble and embrace change. But what breach lessons can we learn to help us navigate the future? 

Join BCyber’s Co-Founder & CEO Karen Stephens as she unpacks key breach themes and the lessons we can learn to help us prepare for the future. This is the chance to learn from the experiences of others rather than having to learn from your own breach!

Staying Ahead of the Breach

As engineering teams move faster and faster, we’ve seen application security “shift left” - with testing done earlier and earlier in the development lifecycle.  But the way teams test hasn’t changed - we’re still in a land of false positives, vetting applications against known vulnerabilities, and bracing ourselves for emergency patching when the next zero day hits.

By thinking like a hacker when testing applications - you can automatically find exploitable vulnerabilities and fix them while your code is still in development -- giving you stronger security while also increasing velocity

In this talk, we’ll discuss: 
The benefits (and limitations) of current approaches to application security

Recent cybersecurity incidents continue to show that public sector entities from local school districts to federal agencies are not immune to cyber threats. These range from ransomware attacks to data breaches involving sensitive student and staff data. 

Tune into this webinar that will examine trends, highlight examples, and share best practices for steps to take before, during, and after a cyber incident with a focus on public agencies and officials.

Public Sector Entities: Vulnerable and Less Prepared Cyber Targets

The evidence is in the news: threat actors are constantly on the hunt for weakly secured applications to exploit. Does your business have a target on its back? What can you do now to avoid becoming tomorrow’s data breach headline?

This webinar examines how cybercriminals are hacking applications and the need for effective application security. Inside, learn:

• How threat actors are exploiting unsecured software
• How we make exploitation too easy for the adversaries
• How a Protection Blueprint can change the tide
• And more

How threat actors hack your applications

Cyber attacks are not random acts that affect only a few. They are calculated ambushes that will impact you at some point -- whether you're prepared or not.

It's Not Cyber Crime, It's Cyber Warfare

Geopolitical instability and cybersecurity are unavoidably intertwined. Organizations of all types can be at higher risk even if they’re not connected to a conflict. Cyberattacks are a weapon sometimes wielded even against nation-states not directly involved in a conflict. Going into 2023 Russia’s war in Ukraine will bring it with cyberthreats. Other nations too, including North Korea, Russia, China and Iran, are likely to raise organizational leaders’ concerns about security.

This panel will look at the current and near-future prospects for geopolitical conflict, including
• The role of cybercriminals in conflicts between nations, such as the Conti and Stormous ransomware groups’ support for Russia in the current Ukrainian conflict; 
• How nation-states weaponize cyber-attack skills to increase their power in the world;
• Where CISOs, CEOs, and other organizational leaders should focus security investments to respond to threats issuing from global conflict.
• What tools exist for companies to keep themselves from becoming “casualities” in an international conflict.

Geopolitical Instability and Its Impact on Cybersecurity

Could your organisation truly survive a data breach and emerge unscathed? 

If the answer is no, or maybe, your cyber security strategy needs a rethink. The importance of preventing and protecting your organisation against a cyber attack is now a fundamental ‘must’, not simply an option. If your organisation was attacked, how would the attacker be detected and moreover, what response plan is currently in place and how could impacts be minimised?

In this fireside discussion, ESG Analyst John Grady is joined by Richard Meeus, Akamai’s EMEA Director of Security Technology and Strategy to explore how to bullet-proof your data for 2023. 

Join them to discuss: 
-  Why active prevention is now a security 'must-have' instead of a 'nice-to-have'
-  The risk organisations will face in 2023
-  How to minimise the impact of a breach
-  The state of ransomware in 2023 
-  And much more!

Get Ahead of the Game: Preparing for 2023’s Inevitable Cyber Security Breach

What if you could predict, and thus prevent, most security incidents in your organization? While we know 82% of attacks originate from human fallibility, effective risk management requires pinpointing the riskiest users. Fortunately, recent research has revealed the 7% of the workforce responsible for the majority of incidents. 

This presentation offers security professionals a new way to think about measuring user risk. Attendees will come away with:
• An understanding of how user risk can be quantified with data from security tools;
• Examples from leading security teams who’ve improved their organization’s cyber defense;
• An approach to the different stages of user-risk management, from feedback to tailored controls;
• Methods to mitigate workforce risk by applying risk-appropriate interventions; 
• Ways to use feedback to build trust and transparency and risk-based controls to enhance security protection;
• and more!

Threat Actors Never Sleep ....Neither Can Your Security

In twelve short months, Zero Trust has gone from buzzword to the default security paradigm. The percentage of Asia Pacific companies with a defined Zero Trust initiative underway has increased dramatically, up almost 20% in 12 months. 83% of businesses now say Identity is important to their Zero Trust security strategy, and we’re seeing an interesting shift in the prioritisation of security over customer experience in the APAC region. 

According to Okta’s latest State of Zero Trust report, almost all APAC companies surveyed will have a Zero Trust strategy in plan or in play by the end of 2022. Many of these organisations have moved beyond the preliminary phases of implementation such as MFA, SSO and connected used directories. 

Join us as we invite guest security experts [name] from AWS and [name] from Crowdstrike to unpack the findings from this year’s report, and reveal what this means for the future Zero Trust adoption in APAC. 

What’s driving the rapid adoption of Zero Trust?
Why is the balance tipping in favour of Security over CX? 
Why should you prioritise Identity as the foundation of your Zero Trust strategy?   
How to accelerate your Zero Trust journey past the traditional and emerging phases?

APIs are ripe and juicy targets for cybercriminals, and loaded with attack traffic that is invisible unless you have effective API security. APIs now consume as much as 60% of all internet bandwidth, but many of them have weak security architecture, which opens the door to data breaches, ransomware, malware, DDoS attacks, and other cyber threats.

Enterprises commonly don’t know how many APIs they have or which ones are dormant. Their APIs are like black boxes, leaving enterprises with a problem: they can’t protect what they can’t see.

Join this webinar to learn how cybercriminals are exploiting APIs, why the lack of visibility into API traffic is a serious problem for enterprises, and what you and your team should do now to mitigate risk. Presented by industry researcher and analyst Richard Stiennon, and API security expert Rob Dickenson, founder of Resurface Labs.
