SYNOPSIS
As APAC accelerates its digital transformation—from fintech innovation in Singapore to smart cities in Japan and multi-cloud adoption across the region—the cybersecurity landscape grows increasingly complex. Rising AI-driven threats, deepfake-enabled phishing, and supply chain intrusions are outpacing traditional, reactive defenses. Adding to the challenge are expanding regulatory mandates and a critical cybersecurity talent shortage.
This evening seminar, co-hosted by Proficio and ISC2 Singapore Chapter, introduces the concept of Proactive Defense—a modern approach where prevention and rapid containment take priority.
Learn how organizations across APAC can stay ahead of sophisticated cyber threats through real-time threat blocking, unified telemetry, and automated response.
Key takeaways for attendees:
Insights into APAC’s evolving threat landscape and compliance pressures
How collective intelligence and XDR integration enable faster, more accurate threat detection
Why Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is critical to bridging the region's cybersecurity skills gap
Join us to explore why MDR and proactive defense strategies are essential to safeguarding your organization in today’s hyperconnected world.
