Agenda


Keynote Sessions

Steer Your Ship Through Uncertainty and Change

To open the day, Steer Your Ship through Uncertainty and Change will equip you as CISOs with the strategies and behaviours you need to navigate through the headwinds of change and uncertainty, by developing brilliant, resilient people.

Protecting Your VIPs and Your VAPs (Very Attacked People)

For years, we’ve seen attackers target organisations via their people. Now with fewer reliable exploits and more cloud adoption, we’re also seeing a shift toward attacks that exploit people, with threat actors tricking their targets into running their malware for them, handing over their credentials or simply sending data or money to an impostor. Nikki Cosgrove of Proofpoint will outline strategies for gaining visibility and mitigating risk in a people-centric threat landscape.

Join to learn:

  • Why nearly all threat actors have shifted away from technical exploits to compromise their targets
  • How organisations can leverage threat data to understand which people and departments are highly targeted
  • How to design effective protection for highly attacked, highly vulnerable, and highly privileged users


Breakout Session

Increasing Cybersecurity Awareness Through Live Hacking Sessions

Join Linus Plum, CISO of RWE, in this unique session including a quickfire case study followed by table discussions. Audience participation will be encouraged! Plum hits home in this relatable session, exploring key issues including how to:

  • Increase your security posture through phishing click rate measurement
  • Heighten security awareness across diverse and changing enterprises
  • Best practices on how to implement sophisticated and innovative security education programmes


Executive Boardroom Session

Refining the Security of OT Environments

While the stakes are massive, improving digital security for industrial environments remains a vexing problem for many organisations. Roll up your sleeves with your fellow security leaders and discuss the latest ideas to tackle several key areas in operational technology security such as:

  • Convergence of IT and OT environments
  • Best practices in OT incident response
  • Perspectives on the latest threat landscape for OT

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to C-level executives).
