Virtual Conference

This presentation talks about Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM), a proactive approach to cybersecurity that emphasizes real-time monitoring, threat intelligence integration, risk assessment, and remediation. We will compare traditional threat assessments and the necessity for a more continuous model. Highlighting Edgescan’s role, we’ll show how it enhances CTEM principles by providing comprehensive tools for identifying, assessing, and mitigating vulnerabilities in as close to real-time as possible. Attendees will gain insights into integrating Edgescan into their CTEM strategy, improving visibility, threat intelligence, and risk mitigation to enhance organizational resilience against cyber threats.

In a digital era where cybersecurity threats constantly evolve, understanding the human element behind these threats is crucial. “The Human Factor: The Importance of Cybersecurity and You” is an insightful session dedicated to unravelling the challenges posed by social engineering – a tactic that exploits the one vulnerability that cannot be patched: human psychology.This session will dissect the anatomy of social engineering attacks, illuminating how hackers manipulate trust and exploit human weaknesses to breach organisations. Drawing upon the latest KnowBe4 Phishing Benchmark Report, we will navigate through a detailed analysis of phishing statistics, trends, and tactics segmented by industry, providing attendees a clear picture of the current threat landscape.We will outline actionable tips that you can implement to mitigate risks and foster a security-aware culture within your organisation. The focus will be on practical measures such as robust training programs, simulated phishing exercises, and the establishment of clear and concise communication channels for reporting suspicious activity.

Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and cyber-crime against organisations is massively on the rise, posing significant risks to organisations worldwide. In the UK alone, 7.78 million cyber-attacks were conducted on UK businesses in the first half of 2024 alone, with 50% of UK businesses experiencing a cyber-attack. Despite this, only 31% of UK businesses undertook a cyber risk assessment this year, and the average cost of a cyber-attack to a UK business is £3230*.

A critical gap in understanding and awareness of these threats at the board level still exists, so how do we communicate the risks to boards in an insightful and meaningful way that incites action against the growing cyber threat?

Key Takeaways:
• A brief overview of the current cyber threat landscape – why should boards care about cyber security?
• Understanding the cyber security gap that boards today face.
• Getting the board on board with cyber security – strategies for board engagement.
• How to build a cyber resilient organisation and foster a proactive approach to cyber security.

The need for cybersecurity is ever increasing as the threat landscape grows, but delivering effective cybersecurity has become challenging in a world of fragmented networks, numerous point solutions, and growing complexity. Through network and security convergence, via platform approaches like SASE, and through vendor consolidation, you can start to combat complexity and deliver consistent and effective cybersecurity across your environment.

Discover the latest trends of the ever-changing threat landscape, causes of cyber attacks, the costs incurred and how organisations can take proactive steps to protect themselves from cybercrime.
