Executive Summit

In today’s fast-moving tech and security landscapes, disruption is inevitable—but it doesn’t have to derail your team’s performance. In this high-energy, 30-minute keynote, Dr. Vijay Pendakur will explore why disruption often leads teams to get stuck and how this stagnation threatens business success. Vijay will share his Alchemy of Talent model and explain how leaders can increase productivity and efficiency on their teams, even when it feels like we’re working in an endless earthquake!

Attendees will learn:

• Why disruption can lead to stuck teams and how to avoid it
• The critical impact of stuck teams on business performance and results
• How to make your teams more resilient, adaptable, and willing to learn from failure

Data doesn’t like to stay put—so how do you keep it safe in a fast-moving organization? In this compelling session, a seasoned CISO pulls back the curtain on his team's journey to implement Data Loss Prevention (DLP) across the enterprise, sharing the real-life hurdles, practical tips, and lessons learned. 

Join this session for candid insights on enterprise-wide DLP implementation and key challenges, including:

• Turning Resistance into Resilience: Proven strategies for building executive support, winning over skeptical teams, and fostering a security-first culture.
• Making DLP Work for the Business: Practical approaches to data classification, policy enforcement, and aligning security controls with real-world workflows.
• Moving Beyond Encryption to Observability: Plans for continuously improving enterprise DLP program in an AI-focused world.

 With seemingly countless users and your operations now based in one or more clouds, the bar for what qualifies as a fundamental security practice must rise. Answering modern demands with anything less than enhanced visibility, offline protocols and proactively installed lines of C-suite communication could be the difference between your business’s survival and its indefinite interruption.

Join this session to discuss the following with your peers:

• Cost-effective security practices applicable to multiple cloud environments
• Leveraging innovation without neglecting data privacy standards
• Proven methods for gaining the support of your executive leadership team

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

In the fast-paced world of cybersecurity, CISOs benefit immensely from sharing savvy strategies that enhance their organization's security posture. In this session, we turn the spotlight on an industry at the forefront of rapid change and technology advancements -- healthcare -- and invite infosec leaders from across this varied industry to each take the floor for 10 minutes share their best tips for securing innovation.

Join your CISO peers in healthcare as they:

• Introduce practical tools, techniques and ideas that can be implemented to enhance cybersecurity, and discuss their effectiveness in different organizational settings.
• Identify common challenges faced by CISOs, such as limited resources and evolving threats, and offer insight on strategies to overcome these obstacles.
• Share their experiences and successes, promoting knowledge exchange and continuous improvement in cybersecurity practices.

 Sensitive data movement can be risky but restricting it outright can create operational and security challenges. In an era of agentic AI, generative AI, and emerging quantum computing, organizations need security frameworks that protect data while ensuring agility. This session explores how modern security platforms enable secure data flow, adapt to diverse use cases and prepare for the post-quantum encryption (PQE) shift.

Join this keynote to learn:

• How to choose the right secure access method for each use case
• Why security must be adaptive to risk, user behavior and AI-driven interactions
• How to prepare for post-quantum encryption and its enterprise security impact

For most organizations, the number of connected, essential devices is growing by the second. In response, the CISO's jurisdiction is changing just as rapidly. Now, as in the case of any security issue, the rest of the C-suite may be looking to you for answers.

Join this session and share your perspective on:

• Your new or growing operational technology responsibilities
• What you can do to smoothly plot and control your OT workload
• How you can best juggle IT and OT security simultaneously
