Over the past few years, companies’ cloud and digital migration strategies have accelerated, making it mission-critical to protect corporate networks, digital assets, and critical infrastructure from cyber attacks.

Remote working, de-perimeterisation of organisations, and continuing fallout from the Russia-Ukraine war have led to a proliferation of cyber threats. As news of data breaches, ransomware, and organised cyber crime become the norm, it is incumbent on governments and businesses to ensure that their cyber security policies, practices and technology are up-to-date. Cyber security is no longer a grudge purchase or a nice-to-have – it is an essential investment in the future sustainability of businesses.

As governments and security professionals struggle to keep up with cyber attackers and to recruit and retain cyber security talent, what’s next for the cyber security industry in 2023?

At ITWeb’s 18th annual Security Summit, we will unpack the latest developments in cyber security threats and how to counteract them. Key themes that will be discussed include how AI and ML are being used to detect and respond to cyber threats more effectively; the need for strong cloud security measures; the security implications of the convergence of OT and IT networks; profiles and motives of hackers; how and why social engineering works in 2023; the latest developments in Zero Trust security; how ransomware attacks are evolving and how to protect yourself; how cyber attacks are changing the way war is waged and the implications for us as individuals; and much more!

This is THE annual gathering for the cyber security community when senior representatives from government, the public and private sectors, academia and industry experts come together to discuss and debate the latest developments in cyber security threats and how to counteract them.
