As organisations across APAC head into 2026, cyber threats are evolving in ways that challenge traditional security assumptions. Attacks are increasingly driven by identity abuse, social engineering, and data extortion—often without exploiting a single vulnerability.
Join Simon Piff, VP Research, IDC in conversation with Jayant Dave, CISO, Asia Pacific and Japan, for an executive-level discussion focused on the cyber risks CISOs in APAC must be prepared for in the year ahead.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Why social engineering has become the primary breach entry point, extending beyond email into voice, chat, and collaboration tools
- How identity-based attacks are bypassing MFA, helpdesks, and perimeter controls
- The growing role of unmanaged and personal devices in ransomware incidents
- Why ransomware is increasingly focused on data extortion rather than disruption
- How attackers maintain quiet, long-term access before executing high-impact attacks
- Practical priorities CISOs should focus on in 2026 to contain business impact early
All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of the 95-page 2026 State of Cyber Security Report.
We look forward to having you join us.
