Today’s CISOs are not just guardians of technology and enterprise risk—they are people leaders at the heart of organizational resilience. But the unique pressures, expectations, and backgrounds associated with the CISO role often make it challenging to embrace a human leadership approach compared to other enterprise leaders. Drawing on Gartner’s latest research and insights, this session is a call to embrace the new mandate of CISO leadership: securing the future through empowered, resilient teams. 

Join this session for guidance and insights on: 

• Understanding why people leadership is now just as critical for security success as any technology solution 
• Expanding a technical problem-solving mindset to also prioritize authenticity and empathy 
• Balancing the high-stakes nature of enterprise cybersecurity with necessary people-centric initiatives

Traditional security practices are struggling worldwide against modern threats and the rapid pace of software development. The solution lies in leveraging production data, which enables effective Application Detection and Response (ADR) by integrating real-time insights into code behavior, vulnerabilities, and attacks. This approach empowers development and operations teams across borders to collaboratively enhance security.

Join this roundtable to discuss:

• Identifying what’s wrong with the current approach to protecting Apps and APIs
• Enhancing vulnerability scanning with real production insights
• Strengthening attack protection with contextual awareness

The path to a stronger IAM strategy lies within an agile digital system. Identity-first strategies are focused equally on security and business enablement. Security leaders must implement the right tools and processes to guarantee that the appropriate individuals have access.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Evolving strategies to address the growing sophistication of cyber threats
• Breaking with outdated processes and legacy technology
• Optimizing user experience when adopting a user access program

Join this session to explore:

• Strategies for minimizing attack surfaces
• Methods for securing critical IT assets
• Insights on leveraging compliance for stronger security

Establishing a secure data governance and protection program that successfully aligns with business priorities is paramount — especially as organizations race to identify as many use cases as possible to leverage GenAI. How can security leaders support and enable the digital processes, interactions and transactions that drive their business? By establishing a secure, modern governance framework that protects high quality data throughout its lifecycle.

Join this session to discuss:

• How to align security objectives with data governance principles
• Strategies to ensure availability, integrity and confidentiality in data while mitigating risks for the long term
• The importance of complying with data-focused regulations while creating value from a data governance framework
