S4S Club

Navigating the New Frontier: Supplier Risk, AI Security, and the Evolving Threat Landscape. ?? For detailed info and to secure your spot today: www.s4sclub.co.uk S4S is back ! Another Club X upcoming event at Freshfields on April 2nd, and we are hitting three critical areas that every professional in cybersecurity and procurement should be deeply concerned with. Why this matters now, more than ever: The Interconnected Web of Risk: We're no longer just securing our own perimeters. Supplier risk isn't a theoretical concept; it's the reality of modern business. One weak link can unravel the entire chain. The focus on robust security assessments, continuous monitoring, and frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001 isn't just best practice—it's survival. AI's Double-Edged Sword: Generative AI is transforming industries, but are we truly prepared for the security implications? Data poisoning, adversarial attacks, prompt injection – these aren't science fiction. Safeguarding open-source AI requires a paradigm shift in our approach to security, including validation controls, AI governance, and rigorous testing. Threat Intelligence as a Strategic Asset: In a world of rapidly evolving threats, reactive security is a losing strategy. Leveraging threat intelligence platforms, understanding frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, and analyzing real-world attack patterns are critical for proactively identifying and mitigating risks. The intersection of these three areas – supplier risk, AI security, and threat intelligence – represents the new frontier of cybersecurity. We're moving beyond traditional perimeter defenses and into a world where understanding the interconnectedness of systems and leveraging advanced analytics is essential. Mark Walmsley Toks O.

Another outstanding event put together by the S4S team, I encourage my professional network to attend. To re-iterate, this is no sales and is led by CISO's, for CISO's. With some fantastic topics and speakers lined up I can't wait to see some old friends and new alike. Communities such as these need the support of security leadership and I know this event will be worthwhile.

With just 3 weeks to go until our Club X event on 2 April at Freshfields, we’re gearing up for an insightful afternoon of expert-led discussions on supplier risk management & AI procurement. Join us for three panel discussions, hosted by Mark Walmsley, where we’ll explore the latest risks, real-world challenges, and practical strategies to stay ahead. ?? Securing your supply chain: Reducing third-party cyber risks Organisations depend on third-party vendors, but weak links can lead to data breaches, ransomware attacks, and operational disruptions. This session will cover how to identify and mitigate supplier risks through robust security assessments, continuous monitoring, and compliance with frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001. ?? Safeguarding open-source gen AI: Managing security risks in AI models Generative AI models are driving innovation but also introduce security threats, including data poisoning, adversarial attacks, and prompt injection risks. This session will explore how to secure open-source AI by implementing validation controls, AI governance frameworks, and rigorous security testing—ensuring safe and responsible AI adoption. ?? Threat intelligence in action: Detecting cyber threats & supplier risks As cyber threats evolve, a proactive intelligence-driven approach is essential. Learn how to leverage threat intelligence platforms, frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, and real-world attack patterns to identify risks within supply chains and client networks—helping your organisation stay ahead of emerging cyber threats. ??
