The high-profile cyber breaches in the recent past has been proof that organizations not only incur significant financial losses, but also face damaged market repute and customer loyalty.

While the attacks have intensified across all major industry lines, sectors such as finance, manufacturing, telecom, healthcare, and government are top targets in the Asia Pacific region. It is now evident on the need to adopt better cyber hygiene practices and leverage advance technologies to secure sensitive corporate data and manage the evolving threat landscape.

As a result of the rapid rate of attacks, many organizations are struggling with cyber risk assessments and are constantly faced with targeted attacks, distributed denial of service (DDOS),malware scripts as well as phishing incidents.

While global markets revive from the unforeseen implications of the pandemic, we at EC COUNCIL’s CISO MAG pride ourselves as forerunners enabling strategic upskilling and knowledge sharing initiatives to safeguard the future of the dynamic virtual space we coexist in today.

This virtual initiation has been specifically conceptualised to create more awareness on the need for cybersecurity and its related implications across the region during these testing times. The APAC CISO Forum has been designed to raise an awareness onthe evolved cyber threat landscape and how to encourage a new culture of cybersecurity to survive and sustain continuity across the region’s business intensive digital ecosystems.
