Black Hat Asia Executive Summit

This session explores, via four alternate scenarios, the new and different ways in which technology will intersect with society in 2025, and the resulting cybersecurity problem sets faced by businesses, governments, and societies. The session begins with an introduction to the scenario methodology and a description of the four ‘alternate future worlds' we used as the basis for the work. We will then present the top challenges and opportunities that emerged from our research, and how those challenges are viewed differently around the world. Next, we will present overall results to date, and discuss the implications of those results - and what CISOs might be grappling with in the future. Finally, we will walk participants through examples of the types of criminals, black markets, and threats that might result from the new security environment, and how our view of this has changed (or not changed) in the pandemic.

While the new and exciting security tools are fun it is my contention that without solid cyber hygiene practices in place they are as effective as building a skyscraper on a sand foundation. In this session I’ll walk through what I mean by cyber hygiene and the practices we’ve established at Ramsay Australia to build the a solid cybersecurity foundation for our digital future.
