Cyber threats are growing in complexity, driven by an unprecedented wave of AI-driven attacks, deepfake-based social engineering, and advanced persistent threats (APTs). Drawing from an in-depth analysis of significant cybersecurity breaches in 2024, Dr. Dave Chatterjee, adjunct associate professor at Duke University, uncovers the systemic vulnerabilities that risk businesses.

Through compelling case studies, Dr. Chatterjee reveals how traditional security models are being outpaced by sophisticated attack vectors—and what organizations must do to stay ahead. He will explore critical defense strategies, including zero-trust architecture, continuous data inventory and minimization, and adaptive security awareness training. You will also gain insights into a groundbreaking framework for incident response readiness, designed to evolve alongside emerging threats.

Beyond technology, this session highlights the human factor—examining the powerful role of executive leadership and emotional capital in fostering a resilient cybersecurity culture. Expect data-driven insights, real-world applications, and actionable recommendations to strengthen your organization's security posture against the next wave of cyber threats.

You'll learn:

• The most significant organizational vulnerabilities exposed in 2024 breaches.
• How AI-driven threats and social engineering are reshaping cyber risks.
