4:00pm - 5:00pm Executive Networking Reception
5:00pm - 6:30pm Discussion Topics
Prioritization in the New Risk Landscape
With demands coming from every angle, CISOs have to be strategic about resource allocation and where and how to invest in new technologies, approaches and tools.
How do you budget for a breach? Threat intelligence is part of the picture, but in this shifting regulatory environment, CISOs must choose how and what to safeguard across their portfolios.
Join this dinner conversation and explore practical ways to manage and prioritize your security investments – from developing future CISOs to ensuring new business initiatives are not left vulnerable. Hear how your peers navigate competing priorities and leave with fresh ideas for funneling your best resources in the right direction.
Discussion Topics: Prioritizing Innovation, Aligning on Risk
- How do you ensure that business and security priorities are in line with each other? What works, and where does this balancing act break down?
- What criteria do you consider when prioritizing and allocating security resources? What areas are creating the biggest challenge? What unique demands of your industry impact this process?
- Once you determine your priorities, how do you move from awareness to readiness to execution? How do you plan for multiple scenarios?
- How do you enable value beyond protecting assets? Who are you enabling value for – Customers? Employees? Vendors? The public?
- How do you get the business to see changing regulations, including GDPR, as a high priority responsibility of the entire C-suite, and not just the CISO, legal or privacy teams?
- What are you doing to identify and divest processes, initiatives and tools that are overly time- and resource-heavy?
- How should you best secure rapidly evolving innovation, such as the Internet of Things? What criteria do you use to choose where to focus investments in privacy and innovation?
- How can you push innovation within security and show wins when there’s such a long horizon for such innovations?
