Day 1, 11.50am | L3: Ballroom B
In an ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, organisations must adapt and fortify their defences to navigate the complexities of the digital environment. Join Christina Arcane, Cybersecurity Education Specialist at PM-Partners, for an engaging, interactive talk that sheds light on some recent real-world examples and consequences of cyberattacks and the need for non-security experts to step up and drive the conversation to address gaps and reduce threats.
Discover how Agile principles can promote a culture of security within organisations, with delivery practitioners taking the lead in facilitating a paradigm shift towards integrated secure practices. Explore how cybersecurity can be a catalyst for success, empowering organisations to reduce risks, build customer trust, and gain a competitive advantage.
Christina’s talk will discuss topics including:
- Common failings and critical errors that could have been prevented in recent attacks
- Why Agile leaders should look to embed secure practices into their ways of working
- The commonalities between Agile and cybersecurity objectives and characteristics
- Critical people, process and technology controls that are often overlooked
- Communicating between business and technology stakeholders on cybersecurity topics
- How you can advocate for cybersecurity integration, consider the details and ask the right questions.
