Page 105 - Cyber Defense eMagazine Special RSA Conference Annual Edition for 2022

Both are equally important topics, yet both are perhaps entirely alien to the other.

Another example can be found in Misha Glenny’s participation. An author, journalist and specialist in
organised crime and cybersecurity that has acted as a consultant to European governments and the EU
on the Balkans, and advised the US departments of State and of Justice on US-European relationships,
he will be offering insights into the challenges geopolitical tensions are creating across the tech sector.
Meanwhile, Professor Keith Martin – a Professor of Information Security at Royal Holloway, University of
London, and Director of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Cyber Security for the Everyday –
will explain how cryptography is used today, highlighting the security benefits and pain points.

Of course, there are many ways in which we can foster greater industry collaboration, this event being
just one such example. Be it face to face conversations, webinars that encourage open debate or other
means of promoting discussion, greater cooperation of all kinds will be critical to ensuring that
cybersecurity teams are able to bridge the ever-growing gap with cybercrime.

From key threats, security-first cultures and new models such as ransomware-as-a-service to the historic
and changing approaches of cybercriminals, third party risks and improving detection of known and
unknown threats, we operate in a sphere that truly feels like it is boundless.

Indeed, there will always be more that we can learn – and such learnings, cultivated by the sharing of
knowledge and experiences, will be critical to ensuring that current and future generations of security
leaders can begin to mount a fightback.
