Topic description:

We are living the liquid IT era, where legacy local on-premises infrastructures and capabilities are progressively substituted by cloud based ubiquitous computing.

The shipping industry that moved later than other industries more IT driven, is now gradually adopting the IT liquid concept facing the need to cross-integrate processes, solutions and data outside of the traditional company boundaries.

The IT framework perimeter becomes blurry, increasing significantly for hackers the opportunity to penetrate, with consequences that can severely damage the Organization’s ability to operate.

But being complex quantifying the value at risk, it makes very difficult to understand how much to invest in cyber-security, in that remaining uncertain the level of protection effectively achieved.

During the webinar we will brainstorm on where to focus with priority and how to raise investment efficiency and effectiveness in cyber-security, while sharing some relevant threats and cases with the support of John Sheehy, IOActive Research and Strategy Senior Vice President, Nicola Fainelli and Thibault Millant, respectively CIO and Information Security Officer at Scorpio Commercial Management.
