Agenda
Breakout Session
Achieving Organizational Transformation with Emerging Technologies
As CIOs look for ways to bolster productivity and efficiencies across the enterprise, they are more and more reliant on emerging technologies, such as the enterprise browser. According to recent Gartner research, "Enterprise browsers will evolve to become the core platform for almost all of the day-to-day enterprise productivity and security software used by the workforce."
Join this presentation to understand how CIOs can leverage emerging applications to transform the enterprise. In this session, we will share:
- Creating an employee experience centered on productivity and flexibility
- Reimagining how IT leaders can enable users while creating unique business value
- Benefits and possibilities for critical application protection
Executive Boardroom Sessions
Aligning With the Business — IT’s Game Plan
Getting total buy-in from leadership isn’t easy but can accelerate your initiatives and increase success and adoption. If you can learn to communicate with your board by leveraging data to tell a compelling story, IT’s effectiveness will be recognized — inspiring trust and future buy-in across the enterprise.
Join this session to discuss:
- Best practices for communicating with your board
- Using data to tell IT’s story
- Building relationships with stakeholders
Bolstering Your Third-Party Defense Strategy
Staying ahead of the next third-party event requires a lot; tools, team buy-in and, most importantly, planning. A good third-party defense plan can do a lot more than protect you from data breaches and overlooked vulnerabilities. When done right, your plan can increase efficiency and move you one step closer to improved metrics and KPIs.
Join your C-suite peers to:
- Discuss the future of third-party defense
- Learn what some are doing to stay ahead of the next threat landscape shift
- Chart your third-party defense plan despite potential resource and talent challenges
