Washington, DC CIO Virtual Executive Summit

At a time when customer trust is paramount and private data is precious, a major breach can be catastrophic for any organization. Effective security is an essential part of effective business strategy, yet security leaders face an ever-growing challenge to guide their enterprise through the evolving threat landscape.

Join this virtual keynote to explore:

• Strategies for addressing the emerging threat landscape
• The role today’s CIOs and CISOs play in guiding business strategy to mitigate risk
• Communication strategies for educating users about security – and holding them accountable

Strong IAM is one key to preventing data breaches and limiting the blast radius, should a security incident occur. But cloud IAM presents a new set of constructs for organizations to build and manage. Is this the most comprehensive identity and access control out there, or yet another layer of complexity added to your program?

In this session, you will discuss:

• Why managing cloud IAM is so complex 
• The challenges cloud IAM creates for IT and cybersecurity professionals
• How leading organizations are governing cloud IAM to reduce risk and the chance of a data breach

As 2020 changes the way we live and work, cyber criminals are adapting as well. Join us as we examine the biggest challenges security leaders face, and why a people-centric approach to security is everyone’s biggest opportunity to stop attackers and protect their organization.

Join this keynote for a discussion on:

• Why social engineering dominates among today’s cyber threat actors
• How remote work and the move to the cloud has changed the nature of threats
• The ways their organizations are building controls to better understand and protect people

Leading information security executives know that the language of technology doesn’t always resonate outside of IT. “Risk” is the vocabulary of the business, yet measuring and discussing this all-important concept in an actionable way remains a unique challenge.

• Actionable risk metrics, both for use inside the security function and with outside stakeholders
• How the language and awareness of information security risk has evolved
• Techniques to automate collection of meaningful security metrics

As organizations evolve to keep pace with a digital world, successful cloud strategies elude many IT departments. Dealing with high operational costs and a talent shortage are just some of many reasons that cloud solutions are often a bigger undertaking than they first appear.

• Winning trust during transition
• Avoiding common pitfalls

The timeline for adopting strategic technology and security trends rapidly increased in recent months, and now CIOs and CISOs are on the forefront of leading innovative business opportunities.

Automation in the world of information security allows teams to move more swiftly in the face of persistent threats while stitching together best-in-class tools that get the job done. This allows smaller teams to do more, but rather than eliminating the need for security talent, such technologies are freeing up bandwidth for analysts and others to engage in the meaningful work that requires a human touch.

Join this session to learn:

• How automation and orchestration are playing a role in today’s security stack
• Areas where your peers refuse to automate, and why
• The future of security automation, including under malicious actors
