Across Asia-Pacific (APAC), digital transformation has led to a surge in the adoption of emerging technologies such as cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), and web-based applications among companies from diverse verticals looking to improve efficiency across every area of business operation. However, as technology adoption rates accelerate, organizations’ IT infrastructure becomes more complex and the threat landscape grows wider and more sophisticated, making security increasingly difficult to manage. This leaves organizations vulnerable to cyberattacks. As such, organizations’ in-house security teams no longer have the skillsets needed to adequately secure their increasingly complex IT infrastructure while simultaneously working to monitor and manage their security operations. Asking them to do so is risky. 

The wider threat landscape, increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, and the lack of qualified security professionals force organizations to engage with cybersecurity service providers to help tackle these challenges. By outsourcing their security operations, organizations gain access to wide-ranging managed security services (MSS), such as 24x7x365 security monitoring and threat management. 

Key Takeaways:
1.Learn about the security challenges organizations face today as they undergo their digital transformation journey.
2.Understand the role of MSSPs in helping organizations defend against cyberthreats amid the lack of qualified cybersecurity professionals in the market.
3.Hear advice and recommendations for CISOs when working with managed security service providers.

The threat landscape continues to evolve rapidly, fueling the demand for threat intelligence solutions. In a complex scenario where cyberattacks are increasing in sophistication and volume, threat intelligence allows organizations to shift to a proactive approach when dealing with this ever-evolving threat landscape. Having access to information about threat actors, including their motivations and techniques, among other key insights, enables organizations to make faster and more informed security decisions to prepare and protect the business. 

Join Frost & Sullivan and Steve Benton, VP of Anomali Threat Research; Nick Palmer, VP of Global Sales, Group-IB; and Yochai Corem, CEO, Cyberint, to hear perspectives on how threat intelligence has evolved over the years, the different types of intelligence, and what CISOs need to consider when partnering with a threat intelligence provider. In addition, the speakers will discuss the benefits of threat intelligence for organizations of different maturity levels and how CISOs can monetize those benefits to ensure a successful cyber threat intelligence program.

Insights for CISOs: Threat Intelligence

Modern organizations can no longer afford to play the victim in cyber attacks. Increasingly, CISOs find themselves being held responsible for data breaches and cyber attacks on their organizations. End consumers, Governments, and regulatory bodies penalize businesses for poor security practices. Therefore, it is pertinent for CISOs and business leaders to be aware of their organization’s security posture and defense capabilities in real-time. Breach and attack simulation (BAS) is an emerging technology that enables organizations to assess security posture from the cyber adversary’s perspective in real time. However, many organizations are skeptical of the effectiveness of BAS tools in the security basket. Is BAS another silver bullet in the security vendor landscape? How can organizations benefit from BAS? What are some critical features and capabilities to consider in BAS tools?

Insights for CISOs: Breach and Attack Simulation

Across industries, business models have evolved into customer-centric, digitally dependent operations that rely on web and mobile applications to keep customers, employees, and other stakeholders connected. With this proliferation in application use, the cyberattack surface at the application layer has expanded and become porous with vulnerable entry points.
 
The increasingly sophisticated threat landscape challenges organizations to secure their back-end infrastructure, web servers, websites, and web applications against application layer attacks while balancing responsibilities between their application development and security teams. The shift from a legacy web application firewall (WAF) strategy to a modern application security strategy will enable businesses to fully protect their web-based applications and application programming interfaces (APIs).

Today’s WAF solutions must deploy quickly across any environment, enabling organizations to secure all applications, regardless of their hosting environments and architectures. Flexible deployment (cloud, on-premises, or at the edge) and operational choices (fully managed, self-service, or SaaS delivered) are necessary to best suit individual use cases, depending on each organization’s infrastructure. 

The shift to a holistic application protection approach reflects the need to integrate WAF with other technologies, like API security, bot management, anti-DDoS, runtime application self-protection (RASP), etc., for better security outcomes and operational simplicity in web application protection.

The need for endpoint security has exploded over the past few years. This is largely a result of evolving remote working environments, as well as the move to cloud-based environments. With more and more endpoint devices being used to access organization's networks, security risks are greatly elevated. Legacy endpoint security solutions are not equipped to manage the growing number of sophisticated devices, therefore next-gen endpoint security solutions with the capabilities and threat intelligence to provide visibility into various devices are necessary to protect these devices from external threats – both intentional and unintentional. Enterprises are interested in transitioning to cloud-delivered security to reduce cost/complexity, simplify security for users, and adopt new capabilities. Organizations must get up-to-date on their endpoint security to adapt. Cybersecurity executives from Finland, United Kingdom, and Israel have come together with Frost & Sullivan to discuss endpoint security trends and best practices for users in a complex multi-device environment.

Digital or Demise—How to Embrace and Implement Digital Transformation

AI can deliver significant benefits for organizations, economies, and society. However, deploying AI is a journey as organizations explore relevant technologies and use cases that create maximum ROI. In this Think Tank, Frost & Sullivan will share insights on the AI readiness and adoption maturity of global organizations. It will also discuss the emerging growth opportunities for ICT vendors and services providers.

AI Readiness for the Future of Businesses

With the acceleration of digital initiatives, cloud adoption, and workforce mobility, the traditional approach of enabling access and backhauling traffic to one data center location can no longer meet the fast-changing business needs of today’s digital world. Nowadays, users, applications, data, and workloads are everywhere. To optimize business continuity and address evolving security challenges, organizations need to transform their networking and security architecture to allow secure access and optimal connectivity for users, devices, and applications. The transformation helps reduce or eliminate their dependence on traditional WAN and appliance-based security architecture for a lower total cost of ownership (TCO), better performance, and user experience. 

However, there is a lot of confusion, doubt and misconception about secure access service edge (SASE) among Asia Pacific organizations. A small study by Frost & Sullivan showed that most customers are still confused and do not fully understanding SASE. Thirty-six percent of them said that SASE is just another term for cloud-delivered security services, while 19% of them have a better understanding that SASE is a cloud-based architecture that offers network and security services to protect users, applications and data, regardless of locations. 

Many indicated that they have been using SASE and are planning to use it in the next few years. Though this may not be a full SASE model, it also indicates that organizations in APAC are willing to use the SASE concept and are ready to transition to this new architecture.
