Perspective 2020
2020-10-03 08:00 - 17:00
What is Perspective?
‘Perspective’ is a unique ‘round table’ driven initiative by Sapphire Connect, which is an extension of Sapphire Human Solutions. ‘Perspective’ a CXO roundtable discussion providing an opportunity to Senior Leaders from all spectrums of businesses to come together and interact, brainstorm on contemporary topics and also meet luminaries of the industry. The idea of Perspective was the result of numerous debates and discussions with both internal members of Sapphire and members from the industry, and what emerged was a consensus on the fact that people need to know about what affects them and how, from the people who have pragmatic views on such matters. A regular interaction is needed for the people, to know what affects them all, besides giving insights into the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of management and leadership aspects. It’s our endeavour to enable closed quarter interactions amongst the people making the sessions impersonal and free-flowing. The insights are also shared via research papers that sum up the entire conference.
Topic – Independent Directorship
Industry Overview –
Any Organization in order to function in a seamless manner requires a strong Board of Directors. This Board plays a pivotal role in guiding and mentoring the key management team in terms of strategizing and ensuring the smooth operations for the best interests of all stake holders involved. The Independent Director ensures a transparent working environment for an organization. These Independent Directors form the basis of such Directors who are expected to have unbiased and objective ruling for the proper and smooth functioning of the organization. The appointment of Independent Directors in a company guarantees a balanced structure of the boards.
Independent Directors play a key role in structuring a sturdy foothold of corporate governance in an organization. They bring accountability and credibility to the board process and also strengthen strong practices through risk management.
Theme – “Stepping into the Boardroom”
Stepping into a boardroom can be a daunting experience for all, whether it’s your first time, you aspire to get there one day or even if you’re a seasoned pro. It can be difficult to know what’s expected of you, how you should behave and what the exact protocol to follow is.
Remember, the reality of being in a boardroom is that you’ve already jumped through enough hoops and proved that you deserve to be there. Some people are surprised by the importance that comes with interpersonal relationships in the boardroom. But if you do a little research into the people you’ll be interacting with, mix in a little emotional intelligence and you’ll be even more effective when you walk through the door.

Cyber Risk & Resilience Summit 2020
2020-08-20 08:00 - 17:00
Preface
The birth of the internet accelerated the growth of businesses. Propelling them beyond geographical boundaries have opened up multiple avenues for organization to connect with their customers, clients and employees. This also opened up various channels for ‘malevolent actors’ to wreak havoc. Over the past few decades, cybercrime has evolved from just hacking websites to worms and Trojans to more complex malware, phishing attacks to evolving into cyber-espionage and cyber warfare. As businesses continue to increase their digital presence, securing the cyberspace has never been of such importance as it is in today’s time. Cyber security now finds itself part of organizational strategy. There is now a shift, in terms of the strategies employed, in terms of the technologies deployed, evolution of law and policies, in terms of the culture that is built within the organization, all revolving around establishing and maintaining a secure cyberspace. With so much happening, keeping abreast with all these changes is critical. As the threat landscape evolves and becomes more complex and dynamic, cyber security professionals find themselves constantly on their toes. Sapphire Connect aims to make it easier for cyber security professionals to be aware of the most recent developments through virtual events, conferences and upcoming webinars in India in 2020. With the launch of The Cyber Risk & Resilience Summit a knowledge sharing platform for cyber security professionals. The summit will host senior cyber security professionals and leaders across industries, sharing their experiences and expertise of how better to secure the cyberspace.
Why Attend
First of all, it being a virtual event, it goes easy on your schedule and time management. The ability to connect and stay connected through numerous devices leaves a substantially large volume of people susceptible to cyber-crimes. These people could be our customers, our employees, our clients it could be our family members, it can anybody; the thought of the consequences itself is quite daunting. It no longer is a conditional statement ‘IF’ rather it’s just matter of time when an incident occurs. However, as daunting as it may, there is a silver lining – Cyber Risk & Resilience Summit aims to achieve just that. Not just another conference to attend, rather Cyber Risk & Resilience Summit is a community of like-minded professionals, learning and growing together. Prepare and arm yourself with the latest know-hows, equip your team and organization with actionable insights, learn of the common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Be two-steps ahead. Be prepared!
