Elevating Cybersecurity Posture

Session
Thursday, December 05, 2024 14:30—15:30
Location: Sirius

CyberFantastic
14:30—14:50
 

In an era where cyber threats grow increasingly sophisticated, traditional security measures are no longer sufficient. This presentation introduces the Cyberfantastic paradigm, a transformative approach to cybersecurity that emphasizes adaptability, proactive evolution, and resilience beyond conventional defenses. Cyberfantastic challenges the reactive mindset by proposing a model where systems leverage disruptions as catalysts for continuous improvement and growth. Drawing from the principles of cyber antifragility and innovative system design, this approach prioritizes distributed, immutable, and ephemeral structures. Attendees will gain insights into the strategic evolution of cybersecurity, exploring the shift from rigid risk management to dynamic systems that not only withstand but thrive in the face of adversity. Join us to envision a future where digital ecosystems transform challenges into opportunities, setting a new benchmark in cyber resilience.

Scale matters – M&A and consolidation dynamics in cybersecurity
14:50—15:10

A key factor driving dealmaking is the accelerating trends towards building truly comprehensive platforms. Today, the bulk of the cybersecurity unicorns are in North America. Can Europe build a new generation of global cybersecurity champions?
