Philadelphia CISO Virtual Executive Summit

In a field often described as having “negative unemployment,” CISOs are in a constant battle to hire and retain the talent they need to keep their organizations secure. How can CISOs develop and invest in their teams to pave the way for the security workforce of tomorrow? 

Join this conversation to discuss: 

• Different approaches to building the talent pipeline
• How to develop security talent and keep them engaged
• Strategies to effectively leverage a remote security workforce

CISOs say that what they need most in their security program is confidence that people, processes and technology are working and effective, and that controls are in place to ensure resiliency in the case of a major event. “Risk” is the vocabulary of the business, yet measuring and discussing this all-important concept in an actionable way remains a unique challenge.

Join this session to learn:

• Actionable risk metrics, both for use inside the security function and with outside stakeholders
• How the language and awareness of information security risk has evolved
• How the right metrics will benefit the business and win investment for security

How you deliver infrastructure and applications is changing drastically. Movement to public cloud infrastructure, adoption of container frameworks, and living in a hybrid world requires new approaches to security. Because of that, it is more important than ever for security leaders to have a well-defined strategy in place to secure workloads.
Join this keynote to explore:

• Steps to simplify security and IT operations
• How to increase visibility across cloud workloads
• Benefits of “built-in” security and the impact on SOC

Join this informal and interactive networking session to connect with your Philadelphia CISO peers. In this session, the Philly community will have the chance to share their takeaways from the program in small groups and walk away with at least one new connection. 

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. It’s inevitable that SASE implementations and zero trust implementations need to collide to provide a more comprehensive security capability to truly support digital transformation. How can your organization best position itself for the transition?

In this session, you will discuss:

• Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise
• Benefits of planning both SASE and zero trust implementations
• Insights from organizations adopting SASE and zero trust today

 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 organization at stake, CISOs must know how to ask the right questions and “talk cloud” with the rest of the organization – 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

For CISOs, understanding where your peers are at is critical to putting your security program into perspective. As employees settle into home offices, how have you evolved your security awareness program to fit with the times?

Join this interactive session to:

• Identify at-home best practices for employees to increases their security hygiene
• Discuss why multiple strategies to engage employees produces better results
• Heighten security awareness across diverse and changing enterprises

The timeline for adopting strategic technology and security trends rapidly increased in recent months, and now CISOs are on the forefront of leading innovative business opportunities.

Join a CISO from our community as they share:

•    Dynamic leadership in a volatile world

•    Remastering your brand in times of transition

•    Practical examples of adaptive strategy in action
