    Converging OT/IT Security Operations in Times of Hybrid Warfare From zero visibility to a mature OT/IT detection capability, Donnie Murray Senior Presales Architect at NTT Security Holdings

    For many organizations their digital transformation strategies are leading towards a convergence of OT and IT. As OT networks that have traditionally had very little visibility become more connected from the subsequent use of modern operational solutions, the attack surface naturally expands. In this workshop you will learn how NTT's Samurai MDR service, which is powered by the Samurai XDR platform provides a holistic detection capability across both OT and IT, and is delivered from a single Security Operations Center by highly trained Security Analysts with competency in both OT and IT threats.

    Key takeaways:

      Detecting the 1% undetectable threats: Senad Aruc Lead Architect Northern Europe, Gatewatcher

      Detection of 1% of undetected cyber threats can be a challenging task, but there are several techniques that organizations can use to increase their chances of identifying those potential security breaches. It's important to note that no single technique is foolproof and that combining different approaches is often the best way to detect and prevent advanced cyber threats. Join Senad's round-table discussion as he deep dives into the different techniques one could apply in identifying potential security breaches.

      How do we integrate security in SDLC & how do we engage developers and sysadmins in creating a solid security culture?: Christian Abdelmassih IT Security Specialist, Swedish Police Authority

      Background: We security professionals want to improve the security posture of organizations. But to do that we must first decide which security activities we should invest in. Some believe that awareness education is the way to go, others might rely on audits. Join Christian in a round-table discussion on building a secure foundation for resilient organizations.

      Key takeaways:

      • How would you do it? And where would you start? 

      Where do you draw the line between Cybersecurity, Information Security and IT Security? Conny Larsson Chairman, Sig Security

      Background: What do we mean when we talk about "Security", how do we define the legal interfaces between Cyber Security, Information Security and IT Security? Does it matter from a legal perspective or with regards to how we choose to organize our security work?

      Key takeaways:

      • Are there any legal definitions regarding Cyber Security, Information Security and IT Security?
      • Are there any laws that particularly concerns each different type of security?
      • How can different understanding between lawyers and technicians regarding the different types of Security become a problem?

      Security consideration for building blocks of SaaS, John Wallhoff Round Table Moderator & Co-Founder, B4 Investigate

      The cloud shift is evolving strongly where IaaS, PaaS and SaaS has become delivery models that challenge security professionals to keep up-to-speed with business developers and coders. This SaaS insights round table is about identifying security considerations for some of the building blocks that define a SaaS solution. Building blocks can be a specific technical solution such as “serverless” to activities like “penetration testing”. For you as a Security Professional, you will add your experience and thoughts into this framework of shared knowledge and you will also be able to add building blocks that are missing on the table when we start. We will work together in the whole group as well as in break-out constellations, to be able to capture the individual knowledge and experience and we will wrap-it up at the end of the session.

      The round table is intermediate/advanced level and we recommend that you have experience from SaaS solutions that goes beyond 3rd party audits and certifications that a SaaS provider and its Cloud Providers/Subcontractors provides.

      Cyber Resilience – share insights on strategy, components and capabilities: Sofie Donovan, Head of IT Security Svenska Spel

      Background: Cyber resilience refers to the ability of an organization to continue to function in the face of cyber attacks or other cybersecurity breaches. There are big challenges to continuously adapt and uphold resilience! Technological complexity, evolution of threats, resource limitations and cross-functional coordination are just some of the hurdles to overcome.

      Key takeaways:

      • What is your approach? How do you uphold resilience in your organization, what challenges are you facing? - Let’s discuss and share insights on how/if Cyber Resilience requires a different security strategy approach, what the necessary components are and how to adapt to uphold resilience capabilities

      The DORA regulation and proportionality: Peter Funck Pettersson and Sebastian Alteryd Springflod

      The new EU digital operational resilience act (DORA) regulation that recently went into effect brings new challenges to the financial services industry. One of these is its increased scope of applicability – a number of financial institution types that previously had few or no prescriptive obligations regarding cyber security now have. To soften the landing DORA has a lot of provisions regarding proportionality. In this round table both Peter and Sebastian will discuss how DORA implements proportionality and how it can be interpreted.

      Key takeaways:

      • What are the regulators' views of proportionality?
      • How does DORA define proportionality?
      • What are micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises?
      • What should a simplified ICT risk management framework look like?

      Sebastian Alteryd Consultant cyber security GRC and devops, Springflod

      Data Protection Management - Learnings and trends from first 5 years with GDPR, Egil Bergenlind Founder, DPOrganizer

      DPOrganizer will discuss how businesses' approach to GDPR compliance and data protection management has changed over the last few years, and explore what are currently the biggest challenges and focus areas, and what kind of solutions exist to solve them. Participants should have some data protection experience and most importantly an interest in discussing and learning how the work can be improved.

      How can we achieve enterprise grade Application security without increasing complexity? Jesper Lundin, Snr. Director, Nordics & Baltics f5, Inc

      Security is often considered as something hindering progress and development. A necessary evil that adds friction to the application delivery process and is cumbersome to scale and operate. As application environments grow across multiple clouds and platforms, adding a complete security framework often implies adding significant complexity. If publishing an application is too complex, it will directly impact the time-to-market and thus the value it can deliver to the business. 

      Key takeaway:

      • Can we overcome this challenge somehow, and add comprehensive security and application delivery capabilities without increasing complexity?

      Afternoon Coffee Break & Networking

      Exploiting Luck, Judgement, Chance, and Choice, Ian McShane VP of Strategy, Arctic Wolf Networks

      Your organization is either the target or the transport. That’s a problem because even if you could do everything right, you can still suffer a breach.Even worse, most organizations can be described as “secured by luck”, through no fault of their own, because the complexity of the security industry has made it impossible for many organizations to get everything right.

      Key takeaways:

      • In this keynote session Ian will talk about cyber security as a long game you can influence and win, whatever the size of your security team, and how you can position luck, judgement, chance, and choice in your favour to mitigate and reduce cyber risk

      How to ensure cybersecurity is considered in the enterprise strategy? Ralph Benton CISO, Schibsted Group

      Background: Schibsted is one of the largest media groups in the Nordics with well known media brands like Aftonbladet and Svenska Dagbladet in Sweden but also VG and Aftenposten in Norway. Schibsted also runs the number one digital marketplaces in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. With a total of almost 1 million visitors per month on their websites, cybersecurity threats are one of the most critical business risks for Schibsted. Over the last 3 years Schibsted has been running a global cybersecurity program to ensure that the cybersecurity posture across the group improved.

      Ralph will take us through their journey on how they improved their cybersecurity posture through their cybersecurity program. He will share how they engaged with top management and the board of the directors not only to get the approval for the program, but also how they throughout the program create a better understanding, security awareness and engagement.

      Key takeaways:

      • How do you engage with top management and the board of directors on cybersecurity?
      • How to build security awareness and improved engagement by top management?
      • What are the learnings from running a multi year global cybersecurity program?
      • How do you ensure that the engagement continues after the closure of a cybersecurity program?
