Agenda


Executive Boardroom Session

Risk to the Nth-Party Degree

Third party relationships are closest and may prove to be the most tangible risks to your business, yet the whole supply chain of your business partners still pose a substantial threat. Most organizations’ vendor relationships extend to the 8th party. CISOs need to understand this web of connectedness in order to better manage and communicate enterprise risk.

Join this session to discuss:

  • Gaining visibility into risk across the whole supply chain
  • Strategies for effective risk management and monitoring business partners
  • Overcoming resource challenges to prioritize third-party and extended supply chain risk


Keynote Session

Words That Work — Using Impactful Language to Deliver Results

Effective communication is a critical component of success for CISOs. The most successful executives realize this and prepare what to say and when to say it with precision using "words that matter". In this keynote conversation author, Val Wright offers fresh perspective and techniques to help you elevate the conversation to deliver results. 

In this session Val shares how to:  

  • Create communication that resonates and simplifies complex information
  • Foster productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders
  • Develop powerful responses to navigate resistance and achieve results



Breakout Sessions

A New Paradigm for Managing Third-Party Risk

In the past 12 months, 87% of F1000 businesses were affected by significant cyber incidents as a result of a third-party. And yet, most rely on ‘snapshot in time’ questionnaires. While necessary, snapshots are insufficient by themselves, and must be augmented with continuous monitoring in support of ongoing security operations. This requires a different approach, that includes external threat detection capabilities by using AI across Public Data.

Join this session to learn about:

  • The Public Data opportunity: collect, process, alert across multiple languages / modalities
  • Real-time external threat detection on a rapidly evolving threat landscape
  • The most advanced AI techniques for automating the collection, processing, delivery, and initial analysis of millions of public data sources

  

CISO's Responsibility to Resiliency

Organizations are constantly being targeted and attacked. It's inevitable that the attacks will happen, but it's up to CISOs to strategically plan for how to keep business going as usual and minimize disruption.

During this session you will explore:

  • What resilience means, how to prioritize achieving it, and lessons learned
  • Holistic approaches to architecting a tried-and-true cyber resiliency plan
  • Enabling prevention and defense operations to move through turbulence
