You Speak, They Swarm — The Future of Reaching Your Audience
Hosted by WalkMe

Speakers want action, not just applause.

Enter the "Swarm Effect."
Join this session with Arthur Zards — a thought leader, TEDster and provocateur — to:
- Hone your skills in executive influence
- Adopt a more authentic and engaging approach to speaking
- Take your next presentation from “understandable” to “compelling"

Garrett McManaway

CISO

In today’s business environment, organizations are held responsible for the actions of their suppliers, vendors and partners. Knowledge and understanding of supplier and third-party risk is of the utmost importance to CISOs and the teams they support. Organizations must know their business well enough to understand where risks may materialize and employ processes to detect and react to their evolving risk from third parties.
Join this session to discuss:
- How to create an accurate inventory of all vendors within your ecosystem
- Strategies to establish a process for continuous assessment and monitoring of third parties
- What to do when your third party gets breached
