Minneapolis CISO Executive Summit

When CISOs talk about risk, they need to move outside of the scope of information security and focus more on how risk applies to the business. If you don't make the shift, you may miss important priorities that can have a negative impact on business outcomes, in addition to your security posture. 

In this keynote session, discover how you can:

• Bridge the leadership communication gap to have more effective conversations with your business partner
• Reprogram the role of the CISO to create moments of awareness that will embed security throughout the organization
• Explain risk with the probability of it happening vs. the likelihood of it happening

Some of today’s most common security challenges arise from the transition from one data center to many centers of data, the presence of sensitive data across multiple cloud services, and users working from anywhere on any device. Addressing these challenges requires enhanced visibility and context, and the most effective way for technology leaders to adapt is by shifting to a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture while focusing on core Zero Trust principles to enable Continuous Adaptive Trust.

In this session, we will discuss:

• Why implicit trust is the root of most security problems
• How Zero Trust principles make an excellent starting point for a new paradigm
• Best practices for implementing SASE to achieve continuous adaptive trust

Have you ever wished you could pop into your C-level peers minds to understand how they approach important topics and decisions? Now is your chance to anonymously pose (and upvote) questions to others who will pull back the curtain on their thought process and share candid context for why and how they make certain choices.

The questions in this session will be decided by the audience and will touch on themes such as:

• Building relationships across the C-Suite, with stakeholders and within the enterprise
• Pursuing innovation while keeping the lights on
• What’s next for the role of CISO?

Whether you are just moving into the cloud, researching more options within the public cloud, or building your own private cloud, most leaders agree that this is the future of infrastructure as a service. But can CISOs have it all – both increased productivity and cost benefits within a secure cloud?

During this peer-discussion you will explore:

• Automation, orchestration, AI and machine learning cloud strategies
• Nuances for hybrid on- and off-premise systems
• Ways to incorporate the cloud into a fully articulated security strategy

From minimizing risks to streamlining productivity, CISOs have a few goals in mind when bolstering their security operations centers. Meeting those goals won’t happen without a plan.

Join this session to learn:

• How you can build an SOC blueprint despite aging technology and limited resources
• What security risks are top of mind for CISOs
• The skillsets information security teams will need during a SOC build process

Toss out the manual on redundancies in the business process; RPA is automating its way to greater efficiencies and a brighter bottom line. This peer-to-peer discussion is a mix of RPA advocates, early adopters and outside observers — joining forces to learn from each other and explore:

• How peers have deployed RPA— what has worked and what needs work
• How to measure the return on investment for automated processes
• How to overcome human barriers — such as employee engagement ­and leadership buy-in — to realize the full potential of RPA

Moving beyond outdated tech and into a world of efficient, seamless access isn’t impossible. Fine-tuning IAM strategies is an important goal of CISOs across the country.

In this boardroom, you’ll discuss with your peers:

• How to tailor an IAM strategy with limited resources
• When to rely on legacy technology versus investing in new technology
• What training is needed to strengthen your IAM program

CISOs are mapping the current impact and next steps of the rapid innovation that’s transformed enterprises. The question has become less about how and more about when deployment will take place. After enabling remote work at scale, now the execution of AI, machine learning, advanced analytics and VR/AR are the next key technology resources creating value.

Join your CISO peers to discuss:

• What 2021 will look like and how you are driving innovation to get there
• How your organization is implementing innovative technologies
• How technology is altering the future of work

The proliferation of devices over the last decade has radically increased how many endpoints companies are responsible for, and traditional endpoint protection is no longer up to the task. How can an organization maintain the fundamentals of endpoint security — and security in general — while embracing new technologies and strategies like machine learning and big data analytics?

Join fellow CISOs as they discuss:

• Successes and challenges in keeping users secure at all times
• Leveraging new technologies to quantify threats and assess impacts
• Common pitfalls in securing large numbers of remote users
