14th Annual e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress Benelux

CISOs under siege: building anti-fragile security

4th December 2024 • Novotel Amsterdam City, Netherlands

The Benelux countries are prime targets for political and economic hackers. What’s next?

 

Building a hybrid security/resilience response

Hackers have been busy in Benelux – very busy. In the Netherlands, in May, one of ABN AMRO’s suppliers, AddComm, was attacked by ransomware. As a result, unauthorised parties obtained access to data of a limited number of ABN AMRO clients.

 

The 2024 European Parliament election started in the Netherlands on June 6, 2024, and continued through June 9 in the other 26 countries that are part of the European Union. DDoS attacks targeted multiple election or politically-related Internet sites on election day in the Netherlands and then other European countries.

 

The cyberattacks were claimed by a pro-Russian hacker group called HackNeT on the social media site Telegram.

 

In Belgium, there have been waves of attacks on public service websites as well as on Belgian beer firm Duvel. The company was victim of a ransomware attack that shut down five of its production facilities.

 

And in late March, around 70 websites in Luxembourg fell victim to a major wave of cyberattacks, prompting heightened concerns about cybersecurity within the country.

 

With these levels of threat, security has to be combined with broader resilience. But what does that mean in terms of security spend, security technology upgrades, and staffing?

 

Are you sure that technology is not being duplicated, that the solutions chosen are the most effective, that core components such as E5 licences are being fully utilised and that new technology like AI is being used carefully as an overlay rather than requiring legacy systems to be ripped out?

 

And how do you overlay resilience on top – and whose job is that?

 

Come to the e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress Benelux to find out:
 

  • How are your fellow cybersecurity professionals coping with these challenges day-to- day?
  • Does NIS2 help and what must you do to incorporate its requirements?
  • What practical steps you can take to get better supplier visibility and understanding?
  • How to economically enhance the security built into Cloud infrastructure and applications with selected additional technologies.
  • How new and not-so-new EU Directives are driving the Board view of cybersecurity risk and investment.

 

The e-Crime & Cybersecurity Congress Benelux will look at how CISOs are responding to this fast-evolving digital landscape.
Join our real-life case studies and in-depth technical sessions from the security and privacy teams at some of the world’s most admired brands.

  • Here come the cybersecurity regulators

    • Data privacy is only a small part of the picture. 
    • Regulators are looking at operational resilience in key sectors like finance – securing the wholesale payments market is a priority and others will follow. They are looking at disclosure and fining the miscreants.
    • Can you help businesses comply with new regimes?
  • Insuring the uninsurable?

    • Cyber-insurers need to understand the risks they are insuring if they are to set premiums at a level that makes sense.
    • They also need to know that they are insuring risks that clients have taken steps to mitigate properly.
    • Why insure those who leave their digital doors open?
    • What can and can’t be insured?
  • Upskilling security teams

    • Organisations have limited budgets
    • The skills shortage in security staff growing
    • This dynamic affects the type of on prem security operation firms can employ
    • So how can CISOs continuously upskill their teams?
  • Making the most of next gen tech: automation, AI and the rest

    • The next 20 years will see an ecosystem of small single-issue vendors slim down to a far less complex set of larger platforms
    • These platforms will be able to invest in continuous development and offer to cover all or large chunks of organisations’ security needs
    • But will the winners in this evolution be those at today’s cutting edge?
  • Cybersecurity as a service: the pros and cons

    • MSSP, MDR, CSaaS – all of these offer varying degrees of outsourced cybersecurity services
    • So when does it make sense to outsource?
    • And what outsourcing arrangements make sense for which firms?
  • Ransomware – dealing with the new normal

    • The US Treasury reported that companies paid an estimated $5.2 billion in BitCoin transactions due to ransomware payments for companies in 2021.
    • Only a quarter of ransomware attacks are reported. 
    • Ransomware is here to stay. So how can CISOs stop it being a permanent tax on the business?
  • Building better Cloud security

    • Migrating to the cloud is a priority. But, if not properly managed, cloud migrations result in extra complexity and risk.
    • So how can firms efficiently assess cloud readiness, plan and execute migrations and establish comprehensive cloud governance?
    • Can you help companies transition smoothly and securely to the Cloud?
  • Cybersecurity for SaaS/IaaS/PaaS

    • Most companies’ core reliance is now upon a small number of monolithic application suites and Cloud services
    • In addition, they are likely to be developing their own software in the Cloud
    • These and other changes fundamentally alter the IT landscape in which cybersecurity operates
    • So do CISOs need a new model for cybersecurity and are legacy solutions still valid?
  • Embracing digital risk management

    • If single point solutions are not the answer, then how about a holistic approach?
    • Instead of treating every threat type and actor or network anomaly as a separate variable or alert, step back and look at the whole landscape.
    • Cybersecurity is still not run as a true risk management process. It must be.
  • Can zero trust be done?

    • Zero Trust/ZTNA/SASE - they promise solutions to the key problems CISOs face today.
    • But how realistic are they? Do they take into account existing legacy technology, and the ways in which real companies actually do business day-to-day?
    • Can you explain how a real-world implementation works?
  • NIS2 – changing the game in cybersecurity?

    NIS2 expands the scope of who is included. It adds more regulations and divides the world into two tiers, each with different requirements. And it increases the personal liability of senior officers around cybersecurity failings. So how does this new regulatory environment change the cybersecurity calculus? What do firms need to do now?

  • Developing the next generation of security leaders

    • If cybersecurity is to change to meet the evolution of our digital world, then so must those who implement it.
    • CISOs cannot cling to an IT paradigm and companies must move away from hiring on false pretences (on budget and commitment) and firing at the first breach.
    • What does a next-gen CISO look like and are you one of them?
