Agenda
Virtual Summit Boardroom Sessions
Accelerating Security at the Pace of the Business
In 2020, the multi-decade process of turning the digital enterprise inside out accelerated instantly. We’ve now passed an inflection point – most cyber assets live outside the old “walls” of the organization and cybersecurity controls must be scalable, flexible and reliable. How are CIOs partnering with CISOs to establish a security strategy that is an enabler of the digital business rather than an obstacle?
In this interactive session, you’ll discuss:
Redesigning cybersecurity architecture to enable the work-from-anywhere culture
Foundational technologies to support a global cybersecurity mesh
Reconceptualizing traditional ideas of how to approach security within the enterprise and shifting the business mindset
Strategic Drivers to Digital Business Acceleration
A CIO’s 2021 marching orders come straight from the top: In a Gartner survey, 7 out of 10 boards demanded digital acceleration in a disrupted global climate, while operational excellence through digital business topped the forward-driving agenda. How does your digital strategy measure up to the mission? Join your peers in an interactive session built around modern digital design.
Among the key talking points:
What it means to be ‘digital-first’ – breaking down roadblocks and navigating roadmaps
What levers to pull to expand digital business and increase digital maturity
How CIOs create credibility to drive the enterprise in a digital direction
Virtual Summit Keynote Session
