Today’s workforce must be productive, connected, and secure no matter where they sit or what device they use. With this increase in employee flexibility, comes increased enterprise security concerns as companies reach the limits of legacy castle-and-moat security architectures. Technology leadership means using IT to create a better user experience. CIOs and CISOs must work together to provide a secure user experience that protects company assets.
Join this session to learn more about:
- Modernising your network to reduce the technical and financial costs of internet-bound traffic
- Strengthening security posture by implementing frictionless processes, regardless of user location
- Getting granular visibility into user access activity

Sophisticated enterprise risk management strategy is not necessarily the full mitigation of risk. For most information security executives, strategic risk management describes a cross-organisational framework to assess different areas of risk and determine when accepting those risks is in the net interest of the business. In order to inform strategy and accountability for risk management, CISOs must be able to leverage meaningful metrics and messaging.
Join this session to discuss:
- Metrics that work – and don’t work – in describing information security risk
- The role that the CISO plays in setting risk management strategy
- Effective cross-functional partnerships in risk management
10:00 - 11:00 CEST Executive Boardroom
