Nine Things You Can't Miss at CLOUDSEC India 2018

It's the time of the year again for cybersecurity industry's most exciting annual event -- CLOUDSEC 2018. Organized by Trend Micro, a leading global cybersecurity technology provider, CLOUDSEC India 2018 will take place on October 25 at Grand Hyatt, Mumbai, India.

Cybersecurity matters continue to confuse and befuddle governments, businesses, and users at large today. Compounding the issue is the fact that the conversation is constantly evolving. In 2017, the keyword in the industry was ransomware. This year, IoT-related attacks and GDPR have taken over as the hottest topics. In an ecosystem where things change almost every day, it is essential that government officials and companies keep themselves informed of the latest discussions in cybersecurity.

This year's CLOUDSEC provides a platform for different parties in the ecosystem to mingle and learn from each other, be it the latest threats or the newest cybersecurity technologies. Only by exchanging experience and knowledge can we move forward as an industry. Here are 9 reasons why CLOUDSEC 2018 is the cybersecurity event of the year.

1. Are you afraid to connect? Fear not!

This year's theme is Freedom to Connect, in line with the rapid developments in IoT, artificial intelligence, and more.

Today, businesses know they have to be connected to the internet, but they are simultaneously concerned about exposing themselves to various cyberthreats and data breaches. During the conference, we will share tips and best practices of securing internet-connected operations.

2. Beware of false horizons

Digital transformation is creating a lot of anxiety and hype. Facing a growing collection of cybersecurity technologies, companies are often confused about which ones to adopt, and how to connect the dots between different technologies.

3. Advanced cybersecurity strategies and solutions

While enterprises in India are spending more on cybersecurity each year, organizations are still not confident of their ability to protect, detect, and respond to cyberthreats.

4. Leap into the cloud conversation
