To help stakeholders balancing their needs to protect the organization against the needs to run the business - this is the new role IT professionals have to take over in the era of digital business. Moving forward, security people aren´t the "defenders against cyber threats" anymore. They are becoming the facilitators of a balance between the needs to protect and the needs to run a business. In digital Business, we are moving things into the cloud. We are moving things into software-as-a service. We don´t have control of them anymore. A lot of the traditional technologies just don´t apply. So we have to start looking at other things like contract clauses and the new types of controls which come along with the new breed of digital risks.

If you announced “we will remove the internet firewalls” different people will hear different things. However, to ensure continued security (confidentiality, availability and integrity) of your information assets you will need to re-prioritise your budget spend, fit out your team with different skill sets, and paugh wholeheartedly at your peers. This presentation discusses all the considerations you may want to take before setting yourself down the path of removing the external barriers, which by itself will lead you to re-define your vision, strategy and roadmap.
Risk is akin to the multitude of bacteria found in the human body; without it the body does not flourish. If you think your risk assessments and risk registers keep you safe from risk, then think again. Risk is a vital part of business, one that helps prompt correct decision making, open up greater rewards and helps grow an organisation and keep it healthy. Learn from clear examples and understand when risk can be embraces and when it can be avoided.
Thank you for attending the EIC 2015. See you next year!
The concept of "think globally, act locally" has new meaning in the context of business organization risk from IoT, the cloud and other networked information system functions. The local instances of information functions on which businesses increasingly rely are part of data and identity “supply chains” that are hybrids of technology and policy that are themselves increasingly part of vast global networks where individual businesses often perceive a loss of leverage and control and increased risk. In effect, federated and cloud based data and identity functions are enabling these functions to be outsourced, like shipping, payroll, accounting and other company functions that have previously been outsourced to global networks.
Risk is often seen as a dirty word in business. It is a thing that needs to be reduced to nothing, and has no possible good use in an organization, especially a security programme. This couldn’t be more wrong! Risk is an inherent part of any business, and yet it is often poorly recognized and leveraged in the security organisation.
In this presentation Thom looks at three areas of the risk conundrum to open the veil on the elusive art of understanding and ultimately measuring risk:
Cloud, Mobile & Social continue to have an impacting effect on IAM projects. In addition to this, Digital business plus Internet of Things have begun to further influence the IAM programs worldwide. The Convergence of identities like people & things is furthermore driving these trends. Hence the question can be put: Is Identity in the gravity center of these emerging trends? The presentation goes though some real life examples of how Security and Identity Management are enabling Digital Transformation from the business and technical points of view.
In this presentation, the risk of privacy in the modern communication technology, both Internet and mobile networks, is analyzed. It turns out, that users have to negotiate the risk of privacy between refraining from services, trusting services, using self-data-protection methods and trusting privacy enhancing technologies. Services, on the other hand, have to present themselves as trustworthy with respect of their competent and decent way to handle user data. This presentation identifies the privacy principles and related trust areas and protection means.
Did you know that today, there are over 30 billion connected IoT devices? And that in 2020, that number will double? Do you know how these devices connect to the internet? To each other? To their manufacturer? How many IoT devices are used within your company? If you’re a security professional you’ll need to be able to answer these questions and more. In this session, Jackson Shaw discusses the convergence (collision?) of IoT with IT and OT, what it means to him as a consumer and what it means to us as identity and IT security professionals.
Digital Identities are transforming the way companies architect their IT environment. They adapt and optimize by moving to cloud, adopting mobile technologies and interacting with customers through social platforms. These open enterprises now have little control over how users are entering their networks to access corporate information. As such, Identity has become a key security parameter that businesses can control. Watch this session to learn how organizations can manage the identity context across all security domains by implementing a threat-aware approach to IAM.
Vodafone’s Workforce Identity and Access Management (WIAM) platform treads the line between Security - being a guardian of the Vodafone brand – and a Business Enabler – providing an agile, cost-effective, simple method of allowing 350,000 users to access IS and telecom systems. Based on their recent experiences, successes and failures, Nick provides practical insights to delegates on the programme methodologies, design principles and business decisions, which can help future-proof your enterprise-class IAM solutions.

The threat landscape became wicked and rougher. Governments are desperately trying to fight the cyber threats. But their efforts will never satisfy the needs. As a company, community or individual you remain a vulnerable target. Applying a layered information security strategy can effectively reduce your risk exposure. Define your drivers and long term security goals; involve your stakeholders; engage your customers, employees and suppliers; clearly communicate and achieve your targets by implementing the security roadmap are the key steps for becoming a security intelligent company who will be better protected against the next attack.
