Defender of Cyber Threats

Cybersecurity today faces an overwhelming number of threats from supply chain attacks and data breaches, which continue to grow in frequency and sophistication. Navigating these challenges is complex, and on Tech Talk today, we explore how companies can balance corporate activism, cybersecurity, and the increasing complexities of supply chains in the face of evolving cyberattacks.

From the smallest startups to multinational corporations, the challenges are vast. How do you protect your supply chain from vulnerabilities? How do you secure your data when cyber threats are constantly evolving? How can businesses, especially those with limited resources, build resilience and prepare for the worst?

However, with challenges come opportunities. Companies that proactively fortify their defences not only protect themselves but also gain a competitive edge in today’s market. The shift towards managed security services and advancements such as Zero Trust architecture are creating new possibilities for businesses to safeguard their operations.

To further understand cybersecurity for supply chain and the possible opportunities, we speak with Kavitha Mariappan, the Executive Vice President of Customer Experience and Transformation at Zscaler, and Lee Kuang Yam, the Group Director of Ask4key.
