There is a dire need for businesses to prepare themselves to ensure an effective, swift and well-orchestrated response to breaches. It's imperative to spread best practices and spur innovation in building the best cyber defenses.

To help with this effort, Information Security Media Group on Wednesday will host its latest Fraud and Breach Prevention Summit in New Delhi at The Grand. The event follows successful summits in Mumbai, Bengaluru and other cities around the world.

The objective of this one-day, dual-track summit - designed for senior information security, risk management, compliance, forensic, policy makers, cyber law and law enforcement professionals - is to share best cyber defense practices to respond to new threats and also assess the preparedness of organizations in responding to new breach incidents.

The event will offer insights on new ways to protect end points that are vulnerable to cyber threats.

The summit will bring together thought leaders from the government and private sector, as well as technology providers, to discuss and debate the best ways to secure organizations' critical information assets against new threats. They'll impart lessons on leveraging unique resiliency practices and policy guidelines and offer insights on the right steps to take to protect against cyber catastrophes

Hot topics at the summit include:

  • Assessing preparedness of law enforcement to respond to the challenge of cybercrime;
  • Sizing up the data breach outlook from the current nation-state roots to the next massive attack;
  • Leveraging threat intelligence to protect against DDoS attacks;
