In today's complex geopolitical climate, state actors significantly impact the cybersecurity landscape, necessitating tailored responses from organisations. The C-suite must comprehend how these threats uniquely affect their operations. Emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing enhance security capabilities but also pose new risks. This is particularly relevant in Birmingham's manufacturing sector, where autonomous systems are integral to car manufacturing and autonomous vehicles. At the intersection of Operational Technology (OT), Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), and the Internet of Things (IoT), vulnerabilities coexist with opportunities.
SASIG CYBER LEADERS SUMMIT
Resilience is not just a strategy—it's a cultural necessity. Proactive incident management enhances organisational resilience, while securing supply chains demands increased visibility and robust protocols. AI-driven defences excel in real-time threat detection, and Zero Trust Architecture is reshaping network security. As we near a quantum-ready era, quantum-resistant encryption is becoming crucial. Meanwhile, ransomware and cyber fraud are on the rise, lowering barriers for emerging criminals. Stricter global regulations challenge organisations, and Generative AI (GenAI) complicates matters amid a persistent cyber talent gap. As threats diversify and spread across sectors, improving threat intelligence sharing and developing collaborative frameworks will become vital. Overcoming bureaucratic inertia and unintended regulatory consequences will require imagination and courage.
These issues will be central to our SASIG Cyber Leaders' Summit, which focuses on securing a digital future. Key topics include:
-
Geopolitics and State Actors: Influence on the threat landscape.
-
Emerging Technologies: AI and Quantum's impact on security, especially in manufacturing.
-
OT, CNI, and IoT Security: Prioritising IoT device security.
-
Cyber Proliferation: Impact of ransomware as a service.
-
Supply Chain Security: Enhancing visibility and identifying critical components.
-
Resilience and Incident Management: Cultural importance and preparation.
-
Zero Trust Architecture: Gaining traction in network security.
-
Enhanced Threat Intelligence: Necessity of proactive insights.
-
Stricter Regulations: Navigating complex environments.
-
Collaboration: Importance and challenges of sharing intelligence.
-
Generative AI: Adapting to new cybersecurity pressures.
-
Talent Gap: Addressing the shortage of qualified professionals.
-
Cloud Security: Adapting strategies to cloud adoption.
