Exploring the distinct threat landscape of the healthcare sector, this keynote will dive into effective threat modeling, risk assessment, and what healthcare organizations must prioritize to safeguard critical systems and patient data.
For a business like ONE NZ, Zero Trust is important because it supports secure growth, enables flexibility, and helps maintain customer confidence in a highly connected world. The journey to Zero Trust is about adapting to a changing threat landscape and ensuring the organisation stays resilient. It’s not a one-off project, but an ongoing shift in mindset—moving away from trusting everything inside the network to verifying every access request, regardless of where it comes from.
As long as there has been software there have been software vulnerabilities and in the modern world no cyber security practice is complete without Vulnerability Management. In this session we will look at why Vulnerability Management is so important and then we’ll dive into the trenches to look at ways to make it more effective with less angst.
Strengthening cybersecurity requires partnerships built on “trust but verify”, with our suppliers and partners. We need ecosystem-wide collaboration, shared posture, and responsibility, supported by effective oversight and clear obligations, so let’s talk about, the what, the why and how.
This fireside chat brings together a seasoned cybersecurity expert and a CISO from a leading organization to discuss the rapidly changing nature of cyber threats in 2025. From AI-driven attacks to supply chain vulnerabilities, they’ll explore emerging risks, share insights on proactive defense strategies, and discuss how organizations can leverage threat intelligence and automation to stay resilient. Expect practical takeaways on balancing innovation with security in an increasingly complex digital world.
Join cybersecurity strategists and evangelists for an engaging conversation on why the human factor remains a critical vulnerability in cybersecurity. They’ll dive into real-world examples of social engineering, insider threats, and the psychology behind phishing susceptibility. The discussion will highlight effective training programs, cultural shifts, and leadership strategies to foster a security-first mindset across organizations, with actionable tips for engaging non-technical employees. We will also explore what organizations are doing about securing the identities within their environment by securing their privileges by using modern techniques to secure their keys
This panel won’t hold back as it digs into how agentic systems are changing the game: autonomous detection, self-directed incident response, and proactive defense that acts without waiting for human input. But these same capabilities are now in the hands of attackers, powering adaptive malware, real-time deepfake campaigns, and automated social engineering that learns on the fly. With insights from security leaders and frontline practitioners, you’ll get a clear-eyed view of both the promise and the peril. Whether you’re adopting Agentic AI or bracing for its use against you, this session will show you what’s coming next.
