Melbourne CISO Virtual Executive Summit

We all remember the time when IT matters stayed within IT. But with cloud, mobility, AI/machine learning, IoT/OT—all converging to make your organisation smarter, more efficient, and more competitive—IT has become a boardroom issue. Today, IT innovators have the opportunity to take their place at the epicenter of the modern enterprise, delivering the agility, security, and user experience needed for digital transformation, thereby reducing business risk, increasing productivity, and cutting costs.

In this session Bill Lapp, Global Leader at Zscaler will discuss:

• “Owning the moment”: IT’s opportunity to accelerate secure digital transformation
• Best practices for securing work-from-anywhere using Gartner’s secure access service edge (SASE) and zero trust network access (ZTNA) frameworks
• What comes next: IT’s new role as strategic business enabler

As endpoints sprawl and users access systems from across the globe, the challenge of verifying identity has only become more complex. Yet each road block to verify identity is a speed bump in enterprise agility, requiring CISOs to address identity and access management from a strategic risk-management approach.

Join this session to learn:

• Technologies that enable seamless identity management across platforms
• How to right-size identity verification at your organization
• The latest for zero-trust strategy, and where it makes sense

CISOs face a constant tension between enterprise agility and enterprise security, and in today’s world, this dynamic often plays out in the context of cloud services. With the security and success of the organisation at stake, CISOs must know how to ask the right questions and “talk cloud” with the rest of the organisation all while avoiding being seen as “the office of ‘no.’”

Join this session to learn:

• The latest solutions for effective security in the cloud
• Strategies to transfer legacy information security governance to a cloud paradigm
• Frameworks to evaluate hybrid on prem and cloud approaches where appropriate

Organizations are feeling a shift in the world of networking and security as they rapidly adopt and embrace the cloud. On-premises private data centers are no longer the place for data and workloads to exist. With this shift, security and networking are brought closer than ever. Enterprises need speed, visibility, security and reliability without compromise. Enter, the secure access service edge, better known as SASE. This evolved concept of cloud security architecture outlines a convergence of multiple security functions to offer identity-based secure access. How can your organization best position itself for the transition?

Join this session to hear about:

• Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise

• Benefits of moving to a SASE architecture

• Insights from organizations adopting SASE today

Equipped with a structured, well-governed strategy, CIOs and CISOs can simplify and refine their company’s IT and security landscape, control costs and reap more benefits from doing business in the digital age.

In this session, you will explore:

• Creating a culture of awareness
• Measuring and communicating risk
• Implementing actionable intelligence

The flexibility of working from anywhere has been a boon to employee productivity and collaboration. What began as a temporary solution has now become a strategic initiative for your organisation. And it is up to you to ensure the company has the proper infrastructure to successfully and securely carry out this new corporate mandate—all while keeping an eye on the bottom line.

Join this session to discuss:

• Phasing out hardware and software over time to free up technical talent and reduce day-to-day management and maintenance.
• Improving the end-user experience while reducing costs and improving security.
• Working toward a zero trust posture and what types of architecture are critical to this shift.

An informal and interactive opportunity for you to network with peers in small groups.
