San Francisco CISO Virtual Executive Summit

A strong IAM is one key to preventing data breaches and limiting the blast radius, should a security incident occur. But cloud IAM presents a new set of constructs for organizations to build and manage. Is this the most comprehensive identity and access control out there, or yet another layer of complexity added to your program?

In this session, you will discuss:

• Why managing cloud IAM is so complex
• The challenges cloud IAM creates for IT and cybersecurity professionals
• How leading organizations are governing cloud IAM to reduce risk and the chance of a data breach

The market consideration and adoption of software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) represents the largest networking transformation in recent history. Organizations are turning to SD-WAN to improve connectivity, reduce costs, and simplify management at their branch office locations. But what about security?

In this boardroom, you will discuss:

• Embracing change — the pros and cons
• Addressing weaknesses within brand offices and roaming users
• Keeping security top of mind for business leaders

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

Hear from ICMCP and your peers as they share actionable strategies to build a diverse cybersecurity workforce. Learn how you can support this non-profit and help tackle the “great cyber divide.” ICMCP mission is to achieve the consistent representation of women and minorities in the cybersecurity industry – it offers scholarships, diverse workforce development, and mentoring programs. Listen, learn, and join them if you want to help drive the mission. Then break for some fun and informal networking with your peers to wrap-up the day.

It’s one of the oldest maxims in cybersecurity – you can’t protect what you can’t see. And with organizations shifting to remote work and the traditional enterprise network going dark in more ways than one, new thinking is required to protect the data that matters to your organization. After all, data doesn’t just leave on its own – a compromised account, malicious insider, or simply negligent user is almost always involved.

Join Ryan as he and a panel of CISOs discusses:

• How to adapt your security architecture to give you visibility in a remote work and cloud-oriented landscape
• The ways in which remote work and the move to the cloud has changed the nature of threats to data
• Approaches to better detect and respond to risky user actions with sensitive data

As an organizational capability, insider threat management is changing - again. Firstly, the idea of context has changed the categories of insider threat, and secondly, insider threat programs now maturing – evolving into a more justifiable and friendly, trusted insider program.

Join this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• The evolving landscape of insider threats and its challenges
• The impact of changing behaviors, employee culture and workplace environment on insider risk
•  Practical strategies for improving an insider risk management program

Outsource? Insource? A hybrid model? Finding the right design for an effective security operations center is a complex leadership challenge weaving technology, budget, talent management and, of course, risk. Learn what questions you should be asking yourself, and other senior leaders, to ensure your SOC is up to par.

Join this session to learn:

• Models for effective insource, outsource and hybrid SOCs
• Leadership best practices for keeping employees engaged and alert
• The latest workflows for effective incident response

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

• Strategies for addressing the emerging threat landscape
• The role today’s CISO plays in guiding business strategy to mitigate risk
• Communication strategies for educating users about security – and holding them accountable

Meet virtually for in-depth conversations with your colleagues

Conducting business virtually makes it more challenging to meet and network with like-minded peers. During this time of disruption and uncertainty, it’s become even more critical to collaborate with peers who are facing the same challenges.

Now, we are bringing you the opportunity to set up 1-to-1 meetings in a private, virtual setting with community peers directly after the Virtual Executive Summit.

• Peer-to-Peer meetings are 25 minutes in length, giving you the chance for more personal interaction and in-depth conversation with your fellow San Francisco CISO Virtual Executive Summit peers.
• All conversations are private and will not be recorded
• Meet up to 3 peers based on your shared interests or priorities
