Seminar on Issues in Enterprise Security Management
2017-07-26 16:00 - 19:00 | PIKOM Training Centre, E-01-G, Empire Damansara, No 2, Jalan PJU 8/8A, Damansara Perdana 47820 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
EVENT DESCRIPTIONIn recent years the threat landscape to modern organizations has shifted dramatically. The range and the complexity of threats are increasing at such a rate that purely preventive measures will no longer be viable. In particular, the motivation of malicious attackers towards financial gain and away from ‘bragging rights’ has become apparent. As a result, ‘shotgun’ attacks that used to test large numbers of organizations for common vulnerabilities are being replaced by more selective strategies where individual “high-value” targets are pursued for longer periods of time. This presentation discusses trends in information security threats in the light of modern information security strategy. Key themes are information security culture, security risk management, etc.

Benefitting from a multi-streamed format and the chance to hold one-to-one meetings with some of the exciting new market entrants, this year’s GTR Asia Trade & Treasury Week will once again place a strong focus on the importance of networking, providing unrivaled opportunities for delegates to meet new contacts as well as see old friends in the industry.
Firmly established as the largest international event in the trade, treasury and commodity finance market, this flagship event is set to welcome over 1,000 delegates, enjoying the full support of Enterprise Singapore and the Ministry of Trade & Industry.
With trade now in the headlines more than ever before and with global concerns over protectionism and trade barriers continuing to escalate, this year’s gathering will consider both the key risks and primary opportunities from a geopolitical perspective, as well as the ongoing industry discussions over market disruption, new market entrants and the role of technology.
Aditional the themes to be considered:
The big picture: An Asian perspective on global trade trends.
How seriously should concerns over protectionist policies and ‘trade wars’ be taken? Do such developments pose a threat to the new digital economy? Is China opening up or closing off? Or a mixture of the two? Has the region seen a shift in its supply chains and its manufacturing hubs?
‘From the coalface’: Commodity finance leaders give their views.
How is the metals sector coping with geopolitical headwinds? Are we entering a golden age for LNG? Will this replace coal? Is the push for sustainable commodities reflected in financing trends? Are commodity-dependent markets such as Australia now looking to diversify?
Are we all fintechs now? Seeing through the smoke of tradetech and market disruption.
Providing case studies and examining successful examples of blockchain adoption to dateICOs in trade finance: A new source of finance or reason for caution? Funds, non-bank finance and trade asset distribution: Are we entering a new phase? Tradetech showcase: New players brave the GTR ‘shark tank’!
The changing risk environment.
Asia’s evolving market dynamics: Which countries have been the winners and losers? How is the insurance market reacting to new trends and priorities? The regulatory environment: What’s new and what are the big concerns? Financial crime and sanctions risk: How hard is it to comply and compete?
New to this year’s event
GTR Debating Chamber A new format unveiled at this year’s GTR Asia Trade & Treasury Week, GTR’s Debating Chamber will incorporate a debate format whereby speakers will argue their viewpoints on key issues:
Debate 1: Is the future of the global digital economy under threat?
Debate 2: Do ICOs provide a potential new source of finance or reason for caution?
Workshops and breakouts Utilising smaller groups to make for greater engagement and interaction between delegates, these extended sessions will focus on the following subject areas:

New trends in corporate treasury.
Funds, new finance sources and the distribution of trade assets.
How is the insurance market reacting to new trends?

GTR Ventures Tradetech Showcase Competition This section of the conference will bring various start-ups together for a showcase competition enabling them to ‘pitch’ their business models, strategies and activities to a panel of expert judges.
See you at the center or Asia’s financial event of the year!
