Chicago CISO Executive Summit

When disaster hits, what are the key priorities for a CISO? Are you able to actually make all of your preparedness a reality? Ruben Chacon outlines his experience as the security lead at Mondelez International when it was impacted by NotPetya malware in June 2017, and offers tips on how to best manage the aftermath.

In this keynote, Ruben Chacon shares:

• Crisis management before and after the breach
• Who is in charge?
• Key priorities while responding and recovering
• How to ensure communication flows with the business

It’s no secret that the role of the CISO is enormous and complex. Underlying all the emerging technology, evolving processes, and threat intelligence lies perhaps the most complicated aspect of security leadership – people. Whether it’s privacy, awareness training, global regulatory bodies, integration after M&A activity, or change management, the human element of security is a constant variable. In this interactive peer-to-peer session, CISOs will share their challenges, stresses, and even triumphs on connecting with and leading the people behind the secure enterprise.

The majority of modern IoT-based attack botnets have uniquely common DNA, but they all use part of Mirai code as their framework. While device exploitation techniques remain innovative, the attack vectors themselves are typically reused, making it possible for CISOs to outsmart these botnets.

Join this session to learn about:

• The different attack vectors in IoT botnets
• How attack vectors replicate
• What changes have been implemented in new IoT attack botnets

The GDPR significantly changed how companies assess and manage risk through a combination of new / complex compliance reporting requirements and exposure to significant financial penalties.  The GDPR, and forthcoming California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are increasing the level of interaction CISOs need to have with legal / privacy counterparts to ensure data protection risks are properly identified, effective management tools are implemented, and objective measures are in place to track progress.

Join fellow security leaders to discuss: 

• Standards and metrics for measuring data protection risk
• Best practices for managing risk associated with GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act, and other global data protection frameworks
• Tools to manage data protection risk and meet compliance reporting requirements

How can CISOs better understand emerging technologies and proactively apply them to improve their security program? Steve Hundley leads this interactive workshop to explore concepts such as AI, ML and blockchain and use cases for security practitioners.

In this session, discuss:

• Practical applications for emerging technologies
• How other CISOs are implementing new tech
• The future technology landscape for CISOs

The role of the CISO has fast evolved beyond its traditional operational functions of monitoring, repelling and responding to cyber threats to that of one who can enable the business.  More specifically, enable the business to take secure risks.  As a growing number of boards are making the topic of cybersecurity a central part of their discussions, the need for CISOs to provide them with visibility into and to clearly articulate how risk is being managed in well-defined business terms (board speak) has become fundamental.  Join this roundtable discussion to share ideas and strategies on how to effectively communicate risk and other key related factors with your board.

Even as security tools become increasingly advanced, the biggest vulnerability in a company continues to be its people. With attacks on the rise, executives must make employee training even more sophisticated.

In this boardroom, you’ll:

• Discuss different educational approaches with your peers
• Determine how to evaluate the level of training needed
• Identify key training components and methods of measuring their efficacy

Why do some companies filled with smart people fail and others succeed? Culture can make all the difference. It can accentuate the collective and drive innovation or it can be a distraction. In order to achieve long-term success, there must be a level of cohesiveness and alignment between a company’s culture, its employees, and goals. Corey Thomas, President and CEO of Rapid7, shares his quest for that alignment and how he promotes a culture of disciplined risk-taking, continuous learning, and diversity of mindset.
