The Dark Side of AI

What role do we play in our organisation's cyber resilience? What factors influence broader business resilience and what is the relationship with cyber?

In this webinar, ISF Principals Esther Schagen-van Luit and Mark Chaplin explore the business resilience landscape since COVID-19, examine what has changed and highlight the cyber risk consequences for organisations already dealing with uncertainty from multiple directions.

The team will reveal a fine thread that originates at the macro level (political, economic and environmental) and weaves its way through to the micro level (organisational, workforce and the individual). Along the way Esther and Mark will draw upon ISF Research, such as the ISF Threat Horizon, and their work with risk and security leaders in ISF Member organisations. They will present the key factors driving the need for cyber resilience in organisations, and highlight why it remains a #1 priority.

The Influence of AI in Supply Chains

Security, at its core, is a data problem. As data volumes grow exponentially (to the tune of 28% CAGR), organisations struggle to collect, enrich and correlate their security data. 

As a result, today’s data onboarding processes involve countless log formats and ingestion methods, resulting in deployment delays, cost overruns and employee burnout. Gaining complete visibility of your data across your environments, no matter where it lies, is critical for security teams to stay ahead of modern threats.

In this session, Ed Bailey, Principal Technical Evangelist at Cribl, and Arfan Sharif, Director - Technical Marketing of NG-SIEM & XDR at CrowdStrike, will share and explore:

• Mid-year review of 2024 IT and Security key trends and predictions
• The evolution of the SOC to address today’s threat challenges
• Building an enterprise security data strategy – tips and best practices
