Moving Data Analytics to the Cloud: Things to Consider

In this panel session experts at NTT DATA Italia, NTT DATA Services, Drivesec and Marelli will discuss the increasing importance of Cybersecurity in the Automotive domain and the cyber risk associated to electronics, connectivity and technology in vehicle and overall ecosystem.

Throughout the past decades we have seen an incredible technology improvement in our cars in terms of comfort and performance, but the increased level of connectivity and sophistication being applied to vehicles also led to an important topic: Automotive Cybersecurity.  

Once mechanical and isolated systems; modern, connected, intelligent and soon autonomous vehicles may be targeted for cyber-attacks just like it happens in the IT domain. Such scenario poses undeniable safety threats for the road users, reliability and resilience of the mobility infrastructures, data privacy issues, and many others.   

Join us in this discussion and learn how to detect and prevent security threads, mitigate risks and introduce strong cybersecurity countermeasures in your systems today.

This panel discussion is for you! We welcome viewer participation and questions during this interactive interview.

Cybersecurity in the Automotive Industry

The acquisition and utilization of data have accelerated how organizations approach both their transformative journeys and daily protection of critical corporate data; fueling the need for constant focus on innovative thought and bridging the gap between scalable, agile solutions, and evolutionary data governance. Data security has without a doubt, become one of the most critical areas for security leaders. According to Gartner: “This is driven by the growth in privacy and regulations and other legislation, as well as by the transition to cloud services…” Gartner predicts that “By 2024, 30% of enterprises will have adopted a data security platform, up from less than 5% in 2019. (Gartner, Inc 2022;  2022 Strategic Roadmap for Data Security Platform Convergence, para. 9 &11).

However, “data” has also pushed the need for security across deeper tenants of the data community, seemingly fixating on the applicability of data privacy and controls within core architectural builds, such as a “data lake.” While the ingestion of data occurs on a daily basis, how the extension of the data fabric or an accompanying governing model successfully wades through a multitude of questions such as: once an organization has gathered its data, how does it ensure the data remains secure? Better yet, what defines it as secure within various heterogeneous environments?

This panel discussion is for you! we welcome viewer participation and questions during this interactive interview.

Defending the Depths of Cloud Data Lakes

During this session industry experts from NTT DATA, Okta / Auth0 and Cloud Security Alliance will discuss how to navigate the complexities that CIAM (Customer Identity and Access Management) entails for organizations trying to provide frictionless and secure experiences to their end users.

While implementing CIAM at the intersection of security, customer experience, and analytics may not be straightforward, it's a fool-proof way of impacting top-line revenue by minimizing bottom-line cyber risks. If you look at the market, it's flooded with too many tools claiming to serve CIAM for all edge cases – however, as a matter of fact, not every tool supports all the features needed by an organization. Specialized features like Privacy and Consent Management, Identity Analytics, Identity Proofing etc.  are often caught up with integration challenges.

This session will focus on evaluating the product-market fit for CIAM solutions based on edge cases. Join our distinguished panel-  Sushila Nair, Cybersecurity Portfolio Leader at NTT DATA, Ramesh Gupta, Senior Product Manager at NTT DATA USA,  Carlo Baia, CIAM specialist at NTT DATA Italy,  Mike Pastor, Senior Solution Engineer at Okta/Auth0 and John Yeoh, Global VP of Research at Cloud Security Alliance as they share their vast knowledge and experience with us.  

Learn with us how you can provide easy, frictionless experiences to your users and build customer loyalty. Don’t miss out!

Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM)

Join us in this panel session, where the industry leader experts from NTT DATA, Microsoft and Cloud Security Alliance will discuss the complexities of cloud security, cloud security posture drift, automation, risk mitigation measures and many others.  Our host Sushila Nair – Cybersecurity Portfolio Leader in NTT DATA will guide us through this journey while the business technology and security leaders in the panel share their vast knowledge and experience with us. 

Cloud has transformed the way organizations do business, creating unprecedented agility and scalability opportunities while dramatically expanding its global reach, it has served as a platform for accelerated innovation and has enabled significant advances across all industries. Every day more organizations choose to embark their journey into the cloud, an IT Industry service with a worldwide end-user spent growth of 20% and nearly $ 500 billion in 2022 according to Gartner forecasts (Gartner, Inc 2022, Gartner Forecasts Worldwide Public Cloud End-User Spending to Reach Nearly $500 Billion in 2022, para. 1).

However, the cloud has also opened an entirely new threat vector, and the attack surface has expanded exponentially. While the risks are clear, the scale of the attack surface often is not. This opens a door to relevant questions like: once an organization is in the cloud, how does it ensure their environments are secured? How does it know what a well secured environment looks like?

This panel discussion is for you! we welcome viewer participation and questions during this interactive interview.

Continuous Security in the Cloud

• How do you build a business case for S/4HANA? 

• What are the cornerstones of an S/4HANA road map? 

• How can best practice automotive industry templates help with building my strategy?
