The session also examines the role of governments and international organizations—partnering with public and private businesses—in protecting against cyber threats.

Col. Leighton describes how nefarious actions are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and widespread, with hackers targeting not just large corporations but also smaller businesses and even individuals. He emphasizes the need for organizations to take proactive measures to protect their networks and data, including investing in advanced security technologies and providing regular training to employees.

He shares examples of cyber activity—good and bad; offensive and defensive—from Ukraine, China, and around the globe.

Key take-away: 
How to rethink database security controls in a cloud-first world.

For most organizations, data repositories hold our most sensitive, mission critical assets. As enterprises continue their digital transformation journeys, data repositories and the sensitive assets within are more exposed than ever before for several reasons, including a dramatic rise in the:

• Amount of data created, collected, and stored
• Number of repositories storing sensitive data across clouds
• Number of users and applications that need access to data

In the ever-changing symphony of the cyber realm, a cacophony of threats echoes through the digital landscape. Ranging from ransomware to data breaches, phishing, and intricate APTs, the orchestra of cyber threats grows in complexity. Emerging risks like IoT, cloud computing’s unpredictability, AI’s deceptiveness, and cryptocurrency add new layers to our musical security tapestry.

Threat actors – wielding exploit kits and zero-day vulnerabilities – orchestrate their attacks, preying on human vulnerabilities in perfect synchronization with state-sponsored cyber operations.

To counter this threat, collaboration is essential. Proactive security practices, training cadences, and threat intelligence sharing must happen. The interplay of public and private sectors is key to a resilient digital effort.

Let us march to the beat of constant vigilance, adaptability, and investment in a fortified infrastructure. Together, we shall compose a symphony of cybersecurity, safeguarding the digital soundscape, and ensuring a melodious future.
