What's Trust Got to Do With It?

CEO and Best-Selling Author, "The Trust Edge"

Trust is both a fundamental business issue and the biggest asset of a company. Without trust, companies lose reputations, relationships, and revenue.

Join this session as Horsager outlines:

  • The keys to building morale, sales, and customer loyalty
  • His Eight-Pillar Framework for building trust in an organization

As technology continues to be the primary driver of business capability, CIOs have stopped being looked to as simply providers of internal technical support. IT executives must modernize the enterprise to move to value-based, iterative approaches to technology implementation and utilization while also driving cultural change. This session explores:

  • Enterprise platform strategy vs. siloed, single-purpose technology stack
  • How do CIOs align IT investments to business top priorities?
  • How does IT make smarter decisions with real-time analytics across the entire IT value chain?

The cloud has proven to be an enduring aspect of the tech-driven business. But for all its ubiquity, there is no “one size fits all” for your organization; with as many cloud strategies as there are businesses, skepticism and enthusiasm often share the same office. If you want answers to clouds most fundamental questions, you need this interactive conversation with peers that are living it.

In this boardroom, you’ll exchange successes and challenges around:

  • Demonstrating substantial ROI on your cloud initiatives
  • Lessons learned across the cloud spectrum, from cloud-native companies to hybrid adherents to cloud opportunists
  • What strategy and scale are the right fit for your organization now and into the future

Wear the Black Hat in a Cybersecurity Escape Room

Allan Lam

Sr. Manager of Cybersecurity Architecture and Engineering

Boston Scientific

As a security executive, you know how many disparate pieces of information can together leave you vulnerable to hackers. Framed photos. Letters from family. Personal documents tucked away in a drawer. For 50 minutes, you’ll try on the black hat, assuming the role of a hacker trying to access an organization’s most sensitive data.

The catch—you only have 40 minutes to gather all the correct intel to gain access to the data, and you’re limited to the clues around the room.

In this session, be prepared to:

  • Hack a Facebook account using information left behind on employees’ desks
  • Identify which sensitive documents commonly found on employees’ desks can be used to access important accounts
  • Learn a new way to gamify insider threat training

3:20pm - 3:40pm  Networking Break

3:40pm - 4:20pm  Keynote
