Executive Summit

The World Economic Forum named creativity one of the top must-have skills for success in all industries. It is the key to thriving in this era of rapid innovation and change. But very few organizations have truly invested in the development of this essential capability. Why? Because creativity is considered too intangible to measure, too messy to fit into a strategic plan or simply something that is only for a few specially talented people.  In this engaging presentation, Artist/Author Noah Scalin pulls back the curtain on his own creative practice to explain the real ROI of creativity.

In this session, we will learn:

• Why creativity is a crucial skill for fostering innovation at your organization
• How to use creativity strategically for long-term impact
• Simple strategies that anyone can use to innovate, grow and inspire others

As security challenges and access needs grow more complex, IAM is essential for both protection and operational efficiency.

Join this session to uncover:

•        How to deliver a frictionless, seamless user experience that enhances security without adding complexity

•        Guidance for evaluating and optimizing your IAM technology stack to ensure a robust and scalable foundation

•        Best practices for adopting zero trust principles and designing IAM capabilities that anticipate future needs

In a landscape where fraudsters are leveraging increasingly sophisticated tools like Artificial Intelligence, deep fakes, and synthetic identities, executive leaders face a critical inflection point.

• Lessons learned from monitoring social engineering tactics, reputational risks, and the evolving threat landscape
• Strategies for engaging leadership, building cyber resiliency, and using peer experiences to drive proactive change

With high volumes of sensitive data now flowing through web browsers, three in five organizations say data leakage is likely given current IT and security infrastructures. Stop playing catch-up. Discover new approaches to enterprise operations to reduce risk while simplifying operations.

Join this session to discover:

• How disparate IT and security solutions create technical debt
• What challenges impact internal and end user stakeholders
• How simplifying IT can strengthen security, and boost productivity

Advances in scanning techniques have made vulnerability detection in cloud-native environments and containerized applications easier than ever, yet most organizations still remediate only about 10% of detected issues, particularly in modern software stacks. This creates a frustrating cycle of scanning, prioritizing, and patching, often with minimal impact on the overall security posture. In today’s cloud-native landscape, breaking free from the remediation trap requires shifting to preventative security strategies that address vulnerabilities in containers and modern software upfront.

Join your peers to discuss:

• How to embed preventative security practices into cloud-native development workflows from the start
• Ways to reduce the volume and urgency of remediation in containerized environments through secure-by-design principles
• Practical steps for aligning development and security teams to drive meaningful risk reduction in modern software deployments
