Panel discussions
3 sessions01Who owns the fix? Remediation ownership and how far to trust automation
There’s a lot of work that happens between finding a vulnerability and fixing it. The panel covers everything that happens after the scanner fires, from deciding how to prioritise what to fix, identifying which fix is the best when there are multiple options, what to do if a patch doesn’t exist, and how to route fixes to the correct engineers and coding agents.
02Shifting ransomware tactics
Ransomware groups are increasingly using social engineering, help desk scams and legitimate remote access tools instead of traditional phishing. Explore how these tactics are changing and the best ways to defend against them.
03Data exfiltration: Are you prepared?
Data theft remains one of the most damaging outcomes of a cyber incident. Understand how organisations can detect exfiltration, assess business impact and improve incident response.
