Executive Summit

Who doesn't love connecting with peers to eat and enjoy a friendly competition? Governing Body members will have the opportunity to enjoy dinner and participate in a hands-on dessert competition. Participants will form small teams and receive an assortment of toppings along with tempered chocolate to create their own unique chocolate bark. They will have 20 minutes to put the dessert together and will be judged on flavor, appearance, texture and originality. This is an evening of networking you won't want to miss!

We live in a world where everything is hybrid and the blend between personal, corporate, private and public is ever-changing and presents us with a host of new challenges. This has increased and complicated the attack surface and the pressure to converge tools and do “more with less” is at peak levels. We must meet this watershed moment with the right team, plans, and technology.

Join this interactive session to learn:

• How to build an effective plan for change without adding to the chaos
• What consolidation approaches save money without sacrificing security
• Use cases that deliver immediate value and efficiency while improving user experience

Not every insider risk turns into an insider threat, but every insider threat began as an insider risk. Security leaders need an insider risk mitigation program that encompasses people, processes and technology for successful early intervention, detection and mitigation of insider threats. How can executives build out these robust defenses and strengthen internal cross-functional partnerships to tackle insider risk as a team?

Join this session to discuss:

• Managing insider threats and risks in your organization
• Contextualizing insider risk mitigation strategies within the framework of the larger corporate risk framework
• Leveraging behavioral change, analytical insights and precise interventions to reduce human risk

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CIOs & CISOs).

CIOs and CISOs may have different motives for pursuing digital transformation. Whether the ultimate goal is simplifying connectivity to critical business resources or protecting against cyber threats, it's important to frame discussions with boards and executives in terms of business needs.

Join this session and learn to:

• Calculate hard and soft costs
• Quantify risk reduction and business productivity gains
• Recruit business champions for zero trust transformations

Even the most successful companies face challenges harnessing the full value of a robust data and AI strategy. Technology leaders must keep abreast of data and AI trends to understand how to realize and prioritize greater potential at scale for optimal business value.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• Benefits of a unified data and AI platform
• Customer success insights
• Five trends for an interconnected data strategy

To lead resilient and innovative organizations, CIOs and CISOs must stay up to date with emerging technology. How are you communicating opportunities and concerns across the enterprise when news of new trends hit the headlines?

Join this interactive session to discuss:

• Strategies for communicating generative AI concerns and opportunities
• How to sell the importance of innovating with sustainable technology to the board
• What impacts automation can have on an organization’s future

Managing cyber risk across an enterprise IT infrastructure has never been harder. Remote workers, advancing attack methods, and an ever-expanding vendor network are challenging every firm, as total visibility into threats has become nearly impossible. As digital business strategy matures, more organizations are becoming dependent on the cyber posture and protection of third parties. Third-party risks present a unique challenge because you are depending on vendors and partners to operate securely to keep your data and information safe. How are you mitigating the associated risks and demonstrating this to the business to ensure effective security programs?

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Common failings across TPRM programs that led to breach events
• How executives can provide strategic direction for third-party risk teams
• Key practices being implemented by leading vendor risk firms to maintain strong supply chain risk management

The threat landscape is continuing to expand and diversify as organizations move to a multi-cloud environment. CISOs need to ensure that their DevSecOps capabilities are incorporated within their overall business strategy to guarantee that their cloud applications and code can remain secure.

• Understanding there is no one-size-fits-all model for DevSecOps
• Best practices for integrating DevSecOps into your cloud security strategy
• Exploring the intersection between development, security and DevSecOps

As cybersecurity incidents continue to impact businesses around the world, rules and regulations are constantly changing to address emerging concerns. As a leader in a quickly-changing landscape, you must balance following new regulations and educating company leaders about cybersecurity.

Join this session to discuss:

• How to prepare your board
• What the impacts of SEC rulings will have
• How CISOs can protect themselves from liability

Today’s business leaders find themselves squaring up against a two-headed monster: more attack surfaces and threats to cover than ever before and macroeconomic challenges loom. Cybersecurity isn’t something that orgs can afford to “cut down on,” so increasingly, leaders are asked to achieve even greater outcomes with the same or fewer resources — from budgets to tech to headcount. How can CISOs evaluate spend without compromising on risk?

Join this session to discuss:

• Ways organizations are improving return on investment (ROI) on existing security investments
• How leaders can translate risk into business outcomes for leadership and boards, enabled by security investment
• How to overcome challenges security leaders face as they work to scale, grow, and innovate without sacrificing security

The relationship between the CIO and CISO is critical to an effective enterprise information security program. In some cases, the objectives of the two executives do not align on priorities and business objectives. Without a well-disciplined, integrated and communicative strategy, the likelihood of failed program delivery and greater vulnerabilities to not only system operations, but also the business as a whole, only increases. 

Join this keynote to discuss how to:

• Strengthen the IT-Security partnership to push business initiatives forward
• Align potential risk and threats with a comprehensive IT strategy
• Address combined goals into a single reporting package for board level discussions
