Building a Resilient East-West IT Strategy in Uncertain Times

Building a Resilient East-West IT Strategy in Uncertain Times

In today’s uncertain geopolitical climate, organisations are increasingly factoring political and economic realities into their business strategies.

Questions such as which applications to trust, where to store data, and which countries to purchase hardware from are no longer purely operational — they have become strategic decisions with far-reaching implications. At the heart of all decisions lie security, trust, resilience and regulatory compliance. These have to be based on facts not just media reports.

Join us to discuss:

• How geopolitical tensions and tarifs are shaping IT and data strategies.
• The opportunities of sourcing technology from different regions.
• Approaches to balancing security, compliance, and innovation.
• What a pragmatic East–West strategy could look like for your organisation

Modern Attack Surface

Almost every organization manages applications—even those that aren't technology companies. This leads to the modern attack surface: customer-facing apps, both mobile and web, as well as the cloud environments in which they operates and the credentials and data collected from customers.

Extended Attack Surface

The extended attack surface includes all the potential attack vectors that exist beyond the organization's infrastructure and assets. This includes everything from 3rd party vendors and source code repositories to social media platforms and deep and dark web forums where threat actors lurk.

During this round table we will discuss those external cybersecurity challenges :

• Lack of visibility on the Publicly exposed assets: organizations often don’t know what digital assets they expose to the internet—especially those created by different teams or vendors.
• Threats from the Deep and Dark web: leaked credentials, stolen data, or brand abuse often circulate on hidden parts of the internet where traditional tools can’t see.
• Digital Brand Protection: attackers impersonate trusted brands via phishing sites, fake social profiles, and rogue apps to steal user data or damage trust.
• Third-Party and supply chain risk: vendors and partners often maintain weaker security practices, introducing indirect risks into your environment.
• Threat Intelligence management and Response: many security teams struggle with too much irrelevant or low-quality threat intelligence and often learn about threats too late—after damage is done.
