Closing the Security Gap — Automation, AI & IoT

Dr. Larry Ponemon

Chairman and Founder

Ponemon Institute

Following a global survey of almost 4,000 IT professionals across the Americas, Europe and Asia, Dr. Larry Ponemon chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute and pioneer in information security and privacy research, shines light on some of the most pressing issues for security executives:

Why are CISOs struggling to identify, detect, contain, and resolve data breaches and other security incidents?
What are security gaps making it easier for attackers to penetrate your perimeter defense systems?
Why are security gaps so hard to close?
What technologies and processes can help you keep a step ahead of bad actors?

What could have been done to keep attackers out

Protecting Your VIPs, and Your VAPs (Very Attacked People) Too

Sonja Hammond

CISO & Privacy Officer

Essilor of America

Cameron McElhinny

CISO

Textron

Lucia Milica

Resident CISO

Proofpoint

For years, we’ve seen attackers target organizations 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. Lucia Milica 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 organizations 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

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 CISOs). To reserve your seat, please contact Lawrence Figueroa, Program Manager, at 971-222-2374 or Lawrence.Figueroa@evanta.com
