As the number of connected devices continues to increase, so does the number of potential vulnerabilities. By 2020, there will be 20 billion connected devices, all of which could create security blind spots. How can organizations expand their security measures to protect this ever-expanding attack surface? In this keynote, we will discuss a security posture baseline through the lens of a holistic relationship amongst technology, people and processes. 

Loren Roberts draws on real-world examples to demonstrate how to:

• Identify and defend against the next wave of hackers
• Develop a roadmap to plan, manage and maintain control of your data
• Identify existing gaps in endpoint security

• Building and sustaining operational effectiveness
• Using organizational change management to align cyber program initiatives with the business
• Promoting a culture of security through business enablement

From justifying ROI of security investments, to prioritizing response based on financial risk and weighing the benefits of different controls – numerous things are made made possible by quantifying cyber risk.
