New York CISO Community
Virtual Executive Summit

Organizations are moving faster than ever before. With employees creating, modifying, deleting, and transporting data every second, how can CISOs keep up as job hopping and turnover rates continue to rise?

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Ways to cut through the false noise and final real risk within your organization
• How to determine the right approach to insider risk response
• Strategies to continuously monitor file activity without being invasive

Security debt, defined by Dave Lewis, Global Advisory CISO, Duo Security at Cisco, as “the accumulation of the patches missed, the risks accepted, and the configurations misapplied,” is another serious and common problem for many organizations, especially with the move to cloud computing and rise of IoT. CISOs need solutions that will successfully protect their systems and information. Selecting the right tools and strategies is the key to success with these issues.

Join this session to discuss:

• Prudent approaches to right-size the balance of security controls and agile access
• Ways your peers discuss strategy for trust and access with other senior leaders
• How to create defined and repeatable processes with plans for action to eliminate security debt

With 18,341 new vulnerabilities discovered in 2020, every year there are more and more vectors of potential cyberattacks into your organization. Vulnerabilities are ‘gateways’ for cyber threat actors to exploit and leverage to break into your networks, move around laterally, exfiltrate sensitive data and even launch a ransomware attack.

Join your peers and Skybox Security where we will explore:

• What is needed to establish more effective vulnerability management programs
• Eye-opening realities and trends regarding the expansion of vulnerabilities
• Ways for you to eliminate exposure risk in the most effective and efficient way possible

Security teams continue to wrestle with a range of external threats affecting customers, employees and supply chains. New AI and automation capabilities can shorten detection times to milliseconds, and takedown times to minutes. Does this sound like magic?

Join us in this roundtable peer discussion to explore:

• Key challenges and pain points from the real world examples
• The current role of AI and automation technology for detection
• Auto-takedown processes and how they can benefit your organization

Agencies and organizations have suffered a record-breaking number of cyberattacks over the past year. It seems that every week we see new headlines highlighting large-scale ransomware attacks or data breaches. With the explosion of privileged accounts, unpatched vulnerabilities, and a growing remote workforce, Privileged Access Management (PAM) must be an important cornerstone when developing a strategy to secure IT, IoT or OT systems.

Join this interactive peer-discussion and explore:

• The evolving threat landscape and ways to improve remote workforce security
• Why privilege management plays an increasingly crucial role in mitigating cyberattacks and protecting critical infrastructure
• The principal of least privilege

When the worst happens not even the best incident response plans can account for the human element. You might know how your tech will work under pressure but what about you and your people? In this interactive keynote session, you’ll use your decision-making skills to find the threat and manage the growing crisis.

Join this session to:

• See the real time impact of the human element in crisis management and response
• Gain a greater understanding of how decisions in a threat scenario have a business-wide impact
• Discover how to strengthen your organization on both sides of “the boom”, so it’s as ready before the impact as it is after it

Don't miss this opportunity to meet with New York practitioners and industry thought leaders who shared their insights on the agenda. Come with questions and get ready to meet new friends in this casual session designed to foster peer connections and collaboration in the CISO community. 

Be among the first to see what’s new and next in the security solutions landscape. Three early-stage providers will get the chance to showcase their innovative solutions to the most pressing cybersecurity challenges.

Join this boardroom-style keynote session to ask questions, learn and explore:

• Vulcan’s risk analytics and remediation orchestration
  • If there was one thing you could change about the way you prioritize and remediate security vulnerabilities in your environment, what would it be?
  • How well does your team work with IT stakeholders (application, cloud, network, infra, etc.) to drive remediation outcomes, and reduce risk for the business?
• Cycode’s access control and configuration management 
  • Does your security team have the visibility and control that it needs to secure development tools and infrastructures like source control management, build systems, and the cloud environment? If not, what are your unmet needs?
  • Where does reducing code tampering risk sit on your priority list? What are your key initiatives to reduce code tampering risk and what are the biggest gaps that you're trying to solve for?
• Orca Security’s cloud security risk detection in your cloud environment
  • What is your first impression of an agentless cloud native security platform?
  • If you could change one thing about how you track asset inventory, what would it be?

Organizations are feeling a shift in the world of networking and security as they rapidly adopt and embrace the cloud. Enterprises need efficiency, visibility and security without compromise. The secure access service edge, better known as SASE, and zero trust implementations can provide a more comprehensive security capability to truly support digital transformation.

In this session, you will discuss:

• Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise
• Benefits of planning both SASE and zero trust implementations
• How to best position your organization for this transition

In cybersecurity, the goal is to minimize risk. However, adversaries are agile in their efforts to subvert security measures and innovation is required to keep pace with the evolving threat landscape. What must CISOs do to run an efficient SOC while still mitigating risk?

Join this this session to discuss:

• The biggest risks in cyber today
• Attacks that have resulted in reactive or proactive changes
• Strategies to drive innovation in your program

The global health pandemic has forced CISOs into a new era of evolving challenges. With fully remote workforces and assets continuously moving to the cloud, securing endpoint protection has never been more critical. So how are CISOs deploying next-generation endpoint protection to solve these obstacles?

Join this interactive session to discuss:

• Securing critical applications even in a state of compromise
• Tactics for monitoring a sprawling attack surface
• Leveraging new technologies to quantify threats

When it comes to taking your data from you, cyber criminals never rest. If they can’t get in one way, they will try another. Therefore, when managing incidents for your enterprise, it is critical to ensure that threats and attacks are properly identified, analyzed, communicated, defended, investigated and reported.

During this boardroom discussion on cyber operations, discover:

• How to develop effective principles and procedures for security operations centers
• The best way to identify events and incidents in the environment
• How to create effective communication and reporting strategies for the entire organization

Protecting your valuable data assets is the foundation of any security strategy. But in today's rapidly evolving digital business world, there are an increasing number of entry points that may allow unauthorized access to your critical data in the cloud. How is your organization prioritizing high-risk activity and automating policies to protect data in real-time without interrupting workforce productivity?

Join this discussion to explore:

• Building a comprehensive data management strategy that encompasses the unique elements of cloud SaaS
• How to avoid potential pitfalls while safely enabling innovative solutions
• Accelerating cloud data protection capabilities while maximizing potential to achieve governance, security and productivity goals

Are you challenged with uncontrolled costs and unknown risks from your adoption of cloud services? Concerned with whether your IaaS investments are endangering your security or compliance? Or perhaps you’re just watching your budget disappear seemingly on its own. You are not alone.

Join your peers for a discussion around:

• Optimizing the cost of the cloud
• Improving security, compliance and governance in cloud architectures
• Leveraging the resources and controls you already have
