Grab a cup of kopi-o!

Welcome to a very special episode of the Kopi-O with CISO Podcast. This time, I’m bringing you an insightful conversation recorded live on stage at the CYDES 2023 event, organized by the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA).

In this episode, I’m joined by the esteemed Abid Adam, the Group Chief Risk & Compliance Officer of Axiata Berhad. With his profound expertise and experience, Abid illuminates the world of Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and its vital role in creating a robust cyber security program.

We explore the concept of CTI, its importance, and the critical decisions made within a CTI program. Abid provides valuable insights into the practical application of CTI, guiding us through its strategic, operational, and tactical use in shaping a cyber security program.

Further delving into risk management, Abid shares his experience on how CTI enhances the process by identifying, assessing, and responding to cyber risks effectively. We also get an insider's perspective on the unique challenges and strategies of managing cyber threats in a multinational telecom company, from the viewpoint of a Group CRO.

For organizations stepping into the CTI realm, Abid shares his thoughts on where to begin and how to gradually build a comprehensive CTI program.

Finally, we take a slight detour from professional matters as Abid shares a glimpse into his personal life, offering his tips on maintaining a balance between demanding roles and personal life.

Listen in for an enlightening discussion that merges high-level strategies with on-the-ground realities of cyber security. This episode is a must-listen for cyber security enthusiasts, professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the importance and practical application of CTI.

Please note, due to the live recording nature of this episode, you might need to adjust your audio levels occasionally.
