The session will be presented by Valentine Wats from Excelitte, showcasing the latest cyber security innovations including AI-driven penetration testing, phishing detection and secure data-sharing technologies.
Cybercrime has become one of the most significant operational and financial risks facing organisations globally. Threat actors are increasingly leveraging automation, artificial intelligence, and social engineering to exploit vulnerabilities faster than traditional security controls can respond.
Ransomware, phishing, data exfiltration, and zero-day exploits continue to bypass perimeter defences, placing sensitive data, business continuity, and regulatory compliance at risk.
While established cyber security frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework provide strong governance and control baselines, organisations must now adopt complementary, intelligent, and automated tools to close operational gaps. Excelitte has been purpose-built to strengthen these frameworks by enhancing detection, testing, intelligence, and data protection capabilities.
