A thought-provoking webinar programme developed from over three decades of collaborating with our Members across global business, government bodies, legislators and cyber security experts.

As we close out 2024, a year marked by unprecedented change and disruption across the world, the question arises: are we set to see more disruption in 2025?

With increasing potential for sophisticated AI cyber-attacks, escalating geopolitical unrest, and the tech industry under intense scrutiny from regulators, organisations must start rethinking their strategies. Security teams will need to stretch their resources further than ever before, prioritising cyber resilience and threat mitigation while maintaining operational stability and addressing staff concerns amidst economic uncertainty.

To prepare security leaders for the challenge ahead and help them align their cyber security strategies with business objectives, Chief Executive of the ISF Steve Durbin returns to the virtual stage to deliver our annual Emerging Threats webinar. Secure your place for early insight into the prominent information security threats to expect in 2025 and crucial guidance on how to prepare.

ISF Annual Threat Update: Emerging threats for 2025

Moving your infrastructure to the cloud is primarily a business decision, or a choice made by IT managers who have decided to rationalise (not necessarily simplify) their infrastructure by moving to the cloud.

Some have chosen to do so by moving all or part of their applications, depending on how business-critical they are, or quite simply to (possibly) reduce operating costs.

During this webinar, Bernard Montel – EMEA Technical Director and Security Strategist at Tenable will cover: 

• The cyber threat context 
• The main risks associated with cloud exposure 
• The evolution from vulnerability management to exposure management (including cloud exposure)

Cyber security awareness programmes have been running for decades, but are they effective? The human element is still the single most common factor in causing security incidents. Security awareness programmes haven’t changed that or reduced our susceptibility to an acceptable level. It’s time to do more than just raise awareness: we need to change the conversation and talk about behaviour and culture instead.

Based on ISF research, this webinar will provide hints and tips on how organisations can move beyond raising awareness, to embedding security behaviours. It will outline how to:

•understand and address the psychological vulnerabilities we all have, and which attackers exploit
•create a programme for behavioural change across all levels of the organisation
•develop a human-centred security culture
•positively influence security behaviour.

Let’s Stop Talking About Security Awareness and Focus on Culture Instead

Are you prepared for the next attack? The state of application security in 2024

The cloud has changed everything. Software supply chains, applications, and cloud environments are not only growing more complex, the attack surface has also expanded, with attackers now targeting the entire software supply chain—from source code management and CI/CD systems to developer identities.
The days of treating code, pipelines, and cloud in isolation are over. Security must now be integrated across every stage of development. Comprehensive cloud security is no longer about shifting left. It’s about starting left–and going all the way to the right.

Join Ziad Ghalleb, Product Marketing Manager at Wiz, to learn: 

•why application security can no longer be separated from cloud security.
•how a code-to-cloud approach empowers your developers to move at the speed of the cloud without compromising security
