Cybersecurity: Get ready for the unpredictable

Create a sound cybersecurity strategy based on the right technology & budgetary insights,

proven practices, and processes for SMEs.

Most companies take nearly 6 months to detect a data breach, even major ones.

An estimated value of a single cybersecurity breach is $3,62 million.

60% of small and midsize businesses close within 6 months after the breach.

There is 67% increase in security breaches in the last 5 years.

“95% of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error.”

Small and medium enterprises need to get ready for the unpredictable. Cybersecurity approaches used so far are not working anymore, and pressures keep rising.

  • How can SMEs respond to the toughest cybersecurity challenges without the budgets of the tech giants?
  • Where to focus your investments?
  • What activities to cover in-house?
  • What activities to outsource and to what particular specialists?

Join us at this must-attend virtual event:

Why we need a holistic revamp of the cybersecurity approach for SMEs?

Lack of visibility inside the siloed technology environment & supply chain

Immense complexity is brought on by continuously adding new tech-stacks to the highly heterogeneous environments. This practice lacks a holistic approach and creates highly siloed complex environments with a lack of visibility. Putting another piece of AI on top of the existing tech-stack to prevent attacks doesn’t cut it anymore.

Shortage of the cybersecurity talent leading the mission

The shortage of cybersecurity talent is further broadening the security gap. Cybersecurity experts, especially the new kind of CISOs, able to successfully translate cybersecurity to the business needs for CxOs and make it a number 1 business priority in their mindset, are hard to find.

Move towards the status of “security culture” with the cybersecurity-native CxOs

CxOs need the right level of support from their CISOs and security teams to focus on the right challenges at hand and direct budgets into the right activities. But the majority of CxOs still perceive the cybersecurity topic as a technology one. Hence your CISO needs to be eloquent enough to translate the cybersecurity requirements into a business-ready action plan.

Still not convinced to join us?

Note that the USA is the country with the highest:

Average total cost per a single breach of all countries, with $3,86 million
280 days is the average time to identify and contain the breach
Healthcare is the industry with the highest cost

Remember, no one is immune.

Businesses are leaking enormous sums of money due to security breaches. Even security software companies get breached. Large companies that have security rooted deeply into their business strategy are being targeted and breached as well.

As a wrap-up, just one last question:

How would you justify the impact of lost business opportunities due to the lost trust from customers, devaluation of the trade name, and operational disruption stretching longer than necessary due to the security breach?

Don’t build your cybersecurity strategy on guess work.

Join the most relevant dialogue in the industry and get the right focus on revamping your cybersecurity mission.

Why Qubit Conference?

Watch Charles Tango, CISO at Altria, reflect on why cybersecurity mission cannot evolve solely around technology and why Qubit Conference is a place to be.

 

“I found Qubit to be one of the most interesting and worthwhile conferences I have attended.”

David Merrick, USA, President at Merrick Solutions
