Our Speakers
Active Directory (AD) is a prime target for cyber attacks, posing significant risks and losses to organizations. To maintain resilience, it’s crucial to understand the AD environment, identify and quantify associated risks, and thus implementing a risk buy-down program. Such a program systematically addresses and mitigates the identified risks, fostering a resilient AD infrastructure and ensuring the continued integrity of identity and permissions control mechanisms. Join our session to learn about the common AD risk scenarios and how Quest helps. There are many moving parts to ensure Kubernetes application security. Navigate the Kubernetes security landscape together with me and walk away with the tools you need to safeguard your Kubernetes clusters from malicious actors and the devastating impact of many security attacks. AI is suddenly everywhere – Can they really influence the threat landscape? Should businesses soon expect a wave of even more advanced cyber-attacks or simply more attacks? Will current cybersecurity solutions be enough? Or will generative AI instead provide cybersecurity specialists with more efficient and smarter defensive and threat hunting tools? Nowadays the complexity of IT landscape and 3rd party integration expose any company to data leakage, ransomware and compliance challenges. How do you prepare and prevent your company by setting an ad hoc strategy and align on what matters the most for your business. Although the first known copy dates back 2,000 years, Sun Tzu's Art of War book contains strategies that your IT teams can apply to today's state of cybersecurity. We've studied the "art" to appreciate how military strategists may look at a traditional battlefield and deploy resources so that we're more effective at sustaining attacks from ransomware gangs, state-sponsored hackers, and other threats. Learn from SonicWall Cybersecurity expert Francis Wong about how we translated the strategies of the Art of War into our world where Cyber Warfare is a reality As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving, presenting new challenges and threats to businesses and individuals alike. Staying ahead of these emerging trends is crucial to ensure a robust defense against cyberattacks. This panel discussion aims to explore the top cybersecurity trends that organizations should be aware of as we approach 2024 and beyond, providing insights and strategies to mitigate risks and protect sensitive information. In this session, Ted Suh will explore the possibility and potential of a new AI language model, DarkBERT that has been specially trained on the dark web where cryptocurrency is being used for money laundering and digital payments in the underground market. This session will also cover how DarkBERT can be used to combat in the cybercriminal environment. In today's business landscape, the term ""AI"" is frequently thrown around like confetti at a celebration. Every company claims to harness its power, but does that guarantee success? To truly excel in the AI game, you need more than buzzwords. Our panel of AI experts will demystify the path to AI success. Learn the essential keys to adopting AI, managing AI projects, and discover practical ways to deploy AI responsibly and ethically in your business. While AI offers exciting opportunities, it's not without its risks. Its agile nature can pose challenges. How can businesses establish governance frameworks to ensure that AI enhances, rather than disrupts, operations and integrity? And what's the government's role in this AI-driven landscape, especially in Hong Kong and Mainland China? Get ready to unlock the potential and navigate the pitfalls of the AI revolution. Recent machine learning techniques such as deep learning and reinforcement learning were built on specific assumptions of the underlying data generation process. Financial time series frequently do not satisfy these assumptions. In this talk, we discuss the possible problems if these techniques are applied blindly. The solutions to these problems are in general problem specific. However, some fo the pain can be alleviated by combining recent machine learning techniques with more classical statistical and econometrics insights. We will discuss these probably solutions with examples. Programme
