The first panel explored the private sector's role in securing public-private partnerships for cyber defence, examining the uneven cyber readiness across ASEAN member states and identifying pathways to close capability gaps.
The fireside chat explored fundamental questions about leadership in cybersecurity, examining whether military, civilian, or policy sectors should drive cyber defence strategy and how to balance national security, privacy, and innovation.
The panel opened with two key messages: secure cyberspace is central to trust in the digital economy, and strong cooperation between governments, industry, and technology sectors is essential for regional security.
