San Francisco CISO Executive Summit

Advances in technology are encouraging security leaders to adapt. As the definition of the perimeter of protection continues to change, security is pushed to evolve and include real time solutions. George DeCesare shares how tools such as machine learning and artificial intelligence are making an impact, and how CISOs can develop a strategy to adjust to the new age. With both conceptual and practical examples of technology, DeCesare defines how executives can face the next wave of threats amidst a shifting environment.

What does secure look like? Is it compliance with regulation? Best practice adherence? Does any of that make any difference to an adversary? Security teams need clear tools to measure the effectiveness of controls they deploy to stop the adversaries they face every day. Justin Berman, CISO at Zenefits, outlines an approach and a practical methodology for delivering scalable test oriented security that helps your controls evolve where they most need to.

Organizations have scrambled to meet the data protection regulations set forth by the EU, taking effect on May 25^th, 2018.

Join this interactive discussion with peers on how to create a unified data protection and compliance strategy.

As the scourge of Ransomware demonstrates, cyber criminals are constantly sharpening their toolset and evolving their methodology. While today’s security leaders focus strategies on this particular menace, there is certain to be a more insidious threat ready to take its place. In this arm’s race, CISOs must embrace the same adaptability as their enemies, creating programs both robust enough to protect critical data and flexible enough to nimbly respond to and anticipate rapid change. In this conversation, you and your peers will examine the shifting nature of the threat landscape and explore avenues to greater awareness, protection and agility in the age of the breach.

How can security leaders balance the integration of security controls into a product without impeding development? Subra Kumaraswamy, VP, Cybersecurity,  of Visa, Inc., shares successful approaches to building security into products in an automated way throughout the technology development’s lifecycle. Kumaraswamy uses the example of ShiftLeft, an approach that involves empowering developers by engaging them early in the lifecycle.  This enables a more agile approach to design and development, identifies issues early, decreases development costs and enables developer’s growth.
