4:00PM - 4:30PM
It’s undeniable that cloud computing has become essential in today’s business environments. However, most security leaders face challenges as a result of not having cloud security cost factored into cloud computing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) at the beginning of cloud transformation. “We believe that Cloud is secure by default!” is a famous argument that once interrupted a cloud security budget meeting. Join the session to learn about leveraging different security techniques to justify your Return On Security Investment (ROSI) including threat modeling, BIA , standards benchmarking , DevSecOps and last but not least zero-trust methodologies.
David Siah
VP, Customer Success, AMEA, Trend Micro

Paul Hidalgo
Head of Cloud Business (ASEAN), Trend Micro
5:00PM - 5:30PM
From the solarwinds attack to the Apache Log4j vulnerability, these attacks made us question the security of our software development, especially in the usage of open source and 3rd party libraries. Lesser in the limelight is the CI/CD pipeline and tools that forms the nervous system of your entire software development process and failure to secure it opens up multiple attack surfaces. In this session, join Pedric to discuss securing your software supply chain from source to delivery.
Pedric Kng
Senior Solutions Architect, GitLab
5:30PM - 6:00PM
In the new digital era, businesses have become more cloud-dependent and hence achieving cloud resilience has become a key priority for security teams. Security leaders also now realize that no wall—no matter how high or thick—is going to keep invaders off a business network. Accordingly, we cannot deal with adversaries - like former days - by sitting back and waiting for an alert or flashing dashboard light to tell us something is wrong. Join us as we discuss how security teams can transform from guardian culture into hunter character, simply because, there is always a Hacker in the room!
Mohamed Mousa
Customer Success Manager MEA, Trend Micro
Hamzh Koujan
Solution Architect - Cloud & Networks, Trend Micro
6:00PM - 6:30PM

2021 had the most zero days (unknown/unpatched vulnerabilities) used in attacks, and malicious actors continue to exploit known vulnerabilities in their attacks. Whether it is open source, operating systems, or critical software applications, every software will have vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cybercriminals. The Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative was created to pay researchers for bugs they find in this software and ensure a responsible disclosure by the affected vendor was done in a timely manner. This program takes these bugs out of the use by malicious actors and ensures anyone using the code can patch it and be safe from exploitation. In this session, we’ll dive into the ZDI program and the benefits it brings to the world of vulnerability exploitation. We’ll look at the different markets for bugs and how we can ensure organizations stay protected from any cybercriminal that may look to exploit a bug.
