DX Secure Summit (3rd edition)

Ensuring a Shielded Cyber Posture to thrive in the Digital Scenario

Thursday; 23rd June 2022: Silver Oak Hall; India Habitat Centre: New Delhi

Programme
1015h – 1130h
Inaugural Session: How Secure is the new Digital World?
While industry has progressed phenomenally through digital transformation in the past 2 years,
cybersecurity remains in a precarious situation in 2022, therefore an industry huddle to plan an
effective strategy to face the challenges successfully, is in order. The scale and complexity of
historical security defences have been stretched to their limits and need to be upgraded. CISOs need
to work towards security transformation, and as they do, every process and layer of the security
technology stack is in play. India’s large attack surface has presented an attractive target to malicious
actors, and they have attacked in huge numbers. It is a daunting situation which needs to be
addressed at the earliest. The Inaugural Session of DX Secure and the sessions, thereafter, will
throw light on how our future strategies can be shaped to deal with this emerging crisis.

 1200h – 1300h Session I : What does a Hybrid workforce mean for Cloud Security?

The pandemic has forced many enterprises to leapfrog years in their use of the cloud during the lockdown
period. But it has not been a smooth transition, and security has suffered in some cases. In 2022, every
organization is expected to endure at least one cloud breach. Companies that are in the early stages of their
cloud migration are at a greater risk than those that are optimizing their existing infrastructure. Cybersecurity
professionals need to focus on building security controls for identities, access and configurations into their
cloud migration roadmap at every stage. As more organizations improve security on the human front,
cybercriminals will look to open new fronts by targeting machine and service identities. Organizations need to
leverage tools that can serve as a force multiplier for security staff. Automation can help with cybersecurity by
identifying and prioritizing the risks connected to machine identities and their entitlements, as well as
automating the remediation of those risks. The year 2022 needs to be the year for getting cloud security basics
right.

Session II: Building the Zero Trust Enterprise for a Hybrid Workforce
1400h – 1500h
Zero Trust is a strategic approach to cybersecurity that secures an organization by eliminating implicit trust
and continuously validating every stage of a digital interaction. Rooted in the principle of “never trust, always
verify,” Zero Trust is designed to protect modern environments and enable digital transformation by using
strong authentication methods, leveraging network segmentation, preventing lateral movement, providing
Layer 7 threat prevention, and simplifying granular, “least access” policies. With digital transformation
accelerating in the form of a growing hybrid workforce, continued migration to the cloud, and the transformation
of security operations, taking a Zero Trust approach has never been more critical. If done correctly, a Zero
Trust architecture results in higher overall levels of security, but also in reduced security complexity and
operational overhead.

Session III : SOC Transformation for Security efficacy and Operational

1505h - 1605h
efficiency
Security Operations Centre (SOC) are where the proverbial rubber meets the road in cybersecurity. SOC
analysts are tasked with detecting threats in a timely manner, investigating these threats to determine their
scope and blast radius, disrupting cyberattacks to prevent or minimize damages, work with IT operations to
fully restore business/IT operations, and then use these teachable moments to further reinforce their defences.
Unfortunately, these processes have become cumbersome over the years. SOC personnel face a constant
tsunami of alerts, forcing them to react using disconnected point tools and manual processes. Globally there
is a shortage of Cybersecurity skills. According to ESG research, The Life and Times of Cybersecurity
Professionals 2021, 57% of organizations are impacted by the cybersecurity skills shortage, leading to
increased staff workloads, high burnout rates, and an inability for security professionals to learn and use
cybersecurity technologies to their full potential. The Session would deliberate upon the need to build a robust
strategy for SOC modernization which takes care of:• Seamless integration of interoperable technology
architecture,• Scalability and performance• Detection engineering and risk-based context• Continuous testing
and process automation.
