Resilience and responses in the age of Scattered Spider

C-suite Exchange: How to stay prepared when threats are personal, persistent and unpredictable

In partnership with 

This event explores how modern cyber threats are evolving and targeting people, not just systems, and what true resilience looks like in response.

The "Scattered Spider" group has redefined how sophisticated and persistent social engineering attacks can disrupt major global brands. With breaches traced back to trusted third parties and clever impersonation tactics, the attacks have exposed a new kind of organisational fragility — one rooted in distributed risk, employee trust, and rapid vendor scaling.

This session will explore what resilience really looks like in the face of adversaries that bypass firewalls and target the human layer. We will examine how organisations are reassessing third- and fourth-party risk, and beyond, what “incident readiness” means in this context, and how collaborative intelligence even among competitors might be the industry’s best defence. As attacks grow more personal and less predictable, what cultural, procedural, and technological defences will actually make a difference?

What to expect

• Insights into the evolution of social engineering attacks
• Real-world examples of third-party risk in action
• A practical look at incident readiness today
• The case for shared intelligence, even with competitors
• A human-first approach to cyber resilience
