Cybersecurity

To harness the full potential of digitalization while safeguarding assets and personnel, industry stakeholders must prioritize robust security frameworks, invest in skilled cybersecurity talent, and adopt best practices for managing complex, interconnected systems.

Security, risk, and privacy leaders must strike a delicate balance between mitigating technical risks and adhering to regulatory compliance requirements. By using advanced technologies such as AI, zero trust, cloud security, and compliance automation, organizations can enhance their security posture while maintaining regulatory compliance.

The difference between disruption and disaster often comes down to how well an organization can recover. Leaders who treat recovery as a strategic asset, not just a technical function, will be better positioned to navigate whatever comes next. In today’s environment, resilience is no longer just good hygiene for a business. It is a competitive edge.

AvePoint, the 65 Equity Partners-backed global data security firm, announced Thursday its listing on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX).

With zero trust cellular oversight, organizations gain a powerful layer of defence that governs every connection—no matter where it originates or ends. This enables them to confidently deliver on the promise of ubiquitous, secure connectivity—anywhere, on any device, and with every asset protected.

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in everything from national digital identity programmes to predictive healthcare and smart city infrastructure, the role of cybersecurity is shifting. No longer a siloed function, it must become a strategic enabler — designed not just to defend, but to empower trusted innovation.

The future isn’t just about deploying AI for defence but understanding how it works, how it evolves, its capabilities, limitations, and how it can fail. Equip and train your teams to understand AI, update your strategies, and keep your defences as dynamic as the threats you're up against.
