Delaine at Management Events in Malaysia invited Matthew to open the first of a multi-year series of events showcasing and discussing the future of a wide range of topics, from cyber in-security to exponential leadership, sustainability and transportation.
In this first keynote and roundtable session, Matthew looked at the future of cyber security: the threats on the horizon and, more importantly, what organisations and CISOs can do to protect themselves in an age where, increasingly, all it takes to cripple a country's infrastructure is one hacker with an internet connection.

He took the audience through a range of emerging attacks. These included encoding malware into strands of DNA to hack police forensics labs, de-extincting viruses to create the next pandemic, RATS attacks, and robo-hackers able to discover and exploit systems autonomously, and then evolve.
The session, the first keynote and roundtable in the series, closed on the theme running through it: cyber security is about to become a much bigger headache for everyone, and organisations need to be better prepared for what is coming.
