Minneapolis CISO Executive Summit

As Generative AI passes the peak in its hype cycle, CISOs are uniquely positioned to step back from the buzz and leverage the technology to generate real value for the business. From increasing productivity to understanding its limitations, it is critical to consider the potential for tangible, high-impact use cases.

Join Manjeet Rege, AI & ML Educator, Author and Thought Leader to explore:

• Eliminating the buzz to uncover the potential of AI technologies
• Finding the balance between technology innovation and business needs
• Navigating the future impact of Gen AI on the workforce and talent

 In the high-stakes world of cybersecurity, leaders face the unique challenge of guiding their teams through constant change and uncertainty. Navigating this roller coaster requires more than just technical skills; it calls for mindful leadership that fosters resilience and enjoyment amidst the chaos. Join this session to explore:

• Formulas for embracing ‘the pause’ 
• Tactics to use with your teams to avoid getting trapped in stress 
• Tapping into the growth mindset that is essential for people and organizations to thrive

Business leaders today are faced with two major challenges: an increasing number of attack surfaces and threats to cover and looming macroeconomic challenges. Cybersecurity is not an area where organizations can afford to cut back, but leaders are being asked to achieve greater results with the same or even fewer resources, including budgets, technology, and personnel. As security continues to grow as a critical business function, how can CISOs evaluate spending without compromising on risk?

Join this session to discuss:        

• Ways organizations are improving 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

Generative AI is being utilized by companies and employees alike–sometimes without permission. The normalization of this emerging technology has expanded the attack surface and left many security leaders feeling anxious and uncertain. Is generative AI worth the risk, and how should it be governed in an organization?

Join this interactive roundtable to explore:

• What to expect from the threat landscape as generative AI becomes increasingly normalized
• What adopting generative AI does to your attack surface, and if you should even allow it
• How to implement governance rules that your organization will follow

CISOs need more than a plan. They need to know what it takes to master the art of containment, eradication and recovery while keeping the business's costs (both financial and reputational) to a minimum.

Only in a room of your security-focused peers will you:

• Unlock specific, essential incident response practices
• Hear relatable cases of what is and isn't working for others in your position
• Gather the threat mitigation insights of your fellow cyber leaders

Vendor selection, pre-partner due diligence, and trusted implementation are merely the beginning of a healthy third-party management culture. With those pieces in place, the real work (like battling for constant visibility and enforcing your requirements) begins. You’ll need to be prepared. 

Gather and discuss how to CISOs have successfully:

• Vetted new and prospective third-parties
• Monitored network of existing third-parties
• Asserted security requirements with vulnerable, but critical, third-parties
