Experience Sharing Forum UK

A year ago mnemonic gathered the UK cybersecurity family for a successful Experience Sharing Forum at The Royal Norwegian Ambassador's Residence. No sales or marketing. Strictly experience sharing amongst peers in the security community.

This year we are hosting another exclusive event with a particular focus on Incident Response and Cyber Resilience.

Responding to cyber incidents is complex. It puts your people, technology and routines to the test in an intense and stressful situation. A situation that requires tough and quick decisions to be made, and is intensified by a sense of urgency due to the possible consequences.

Unfortunately, this is a situation that all organisations will eventually find themselves in. The difference between successfully responding versus experiencing a major incident with long lasting consequences comes down to how prepared an organisation is to handle the incident. And these preparations start well before the incident has begun.

Join us on 9th November for discussions about how to prepare for cyber incidents and how to test your response capabilities against legitimate threats.

09:00 - 09:30	Registration and Welcome Tea, Coffee, Selection of seasonal fruits and pastries will be available
09:30 - 09:45	Opening remarks
09:45 - 10:15	Building a Resilient Cyber Strategy with Mun Valiji – CISO, Trainline CISOs often face the challenge of managing tight budgets and limited resources. What strategies do you employ to maximize the effectiveness of your security budget to protect the organisation from evolving cyber threats? As a CISO, how do you balance security and agility throughout challenging and uncertain times? During challenging times, tapping into the wider teams within your organisation can be a huge asset. How do you cultivate a security-aware culture within non-tech or security teams?
10:15 - 10:45	Incident Response Beyond the Technical Level with Mona Elisabeth Østvang - Researcher and Consultant, mnemonic and Board Member, FIRST In a pre-pandemic time, mnemonic toured the world of incident response conferences with the presentation “the tactical analyst and the half-year apt”. The presentation's acclaim stemmed from the underlying data we were able to analyze and later showcase – more than 12.000 commands from the threat actor's human operators, gathered from an advanced investigation that lasted for six months. This data allowed mnemonic to do a rather thorough analysis of the actor, and to draw important conclusions about theoretical and practical aspects of incident response. Mona's presentation is a continuation of this work, with several more years of research, data, and experience to add to the conversation
10:45 - 11:15	Coffee break
11:15 - 11:45	The Role of Privacy in Start-ups with Sawan Joshi – Privacy Advocate & Founder, TriStep.io Sawan spent the past 20 years building privacy focused transformation programmes into enterprises and with the boom of mission driven SAAS startups ensuring companies that focus on climate, finance and health tech have the head start they need to win trust in the supply chain. Sawan will tell us about his approach in a 3-step model.
11:45 - 12:30	Purple Team is just a Red Team in blue with Tiago Rosado, Global Data Privacy Officer and CISO, Asite In a day and age where you face more and more skilful adversaries who bring machine learning systems, how can you realistically detect, defend and react to threats? When we are facing increasing pressure from authorities and regulators, how can we help our business thrive in such a demanding environment? The lessons that I've learned throughout the last years in different roles, companies and verticals – I will try to condense here. How I've optimised my teams and leveraged a symbiotic relationship with the clients, suppliers, auditors and regulators.
12:30	Networking over lunch
