San Francisco CISO Executive Summit

Shadow AI introduced a new layer of risk in a time when security leaders are already grappling with the formidable challenges of managing hidden technical debt and uncovering shadow IT. Today’s digital landscape requires a new approach to risk and governance – one that identifies the shadows already existing in your organization and stops future shadows emerging as you harness the power of emerging technologies.

Join this session to discuss:

• Uncovering existing hidden technical debts and shadow IT that inhibit agility, innovation and security
• Establishing centralized risk frameworks and governance that are enforceable and scalable
• Involving the C-suite and end users in establishing and understanding protections to deter rogue IT and AI

The complete entanglement of cyber risk with business risk is becoming increasingly more visible. CISOs now have an opportunity to better pinpoint third parties that present a threat to the organization. Yet the increasing complexities of third party, and even fourth party, risk management, prompted by a wide range of evolving threats, demands heightened attention. How can CISOs ensure they have a clear understanding of their vulnerabilities across ecosystems and supply chains?

Join this session to discuss:

• Identification of vulnerabilities across your vendor landscape to prioritize response efforts
• Third-party risk management strategies to safeguard your digital ecosystem
• Overcoming resource challenges to prioritize extended supply chain risk

When it’s harder to attack anyone, it’s harder to attack everyone. It might feel like a brain teaser but, simply put, intra-industry CISO collaboration and collective intelligence partnerships don’t just benefit your business’s lagging competitors. Yes, sharing information with your fellow industry CISOs could give them a leg up on the next big risk but, in a world of exponential connectedness, squashing risk early is never selfless.

Join Kannan Perumal as he discusses:

• The unique benefits of consorting with CISOs in your own industry
• Why some industries are more apt to support these competitor collabs
• The paradoxical support of a business’s ambition and opposition

Vendor selection, pre-partner due diligence and trusted implementation are merely the beginning of a healthy third-party management culture. With those pieces in place, the real work (like battling for constant visibility and enforcing your requirements) begins. You’ll need to prepare.  

Gather and discuss how CISOs have successfully:

• Vetted new and prospective third-parties
• Monitored their network of existing third-parties
• Upleveled and asserted their security requirements and expectations

Time, as we experience it, is not linear, yet why do we pretend that it is? How do we measure the true value of our time? In this mind-bending session, John K. Coyle will apply creative deconstruction to what we think we know about time, and you will learn how to slow, stop and reverse the perceived acceleration of time most adults feel and experience the endless summers of youth again.

Grab a seat and learn how to:

• Understand the forces that govern experiential time
• Discover actions you can take to manipulate your perception of time
• Design your life to create intense and memorable experiences that expand time

As cyber threats become more sophisticated and pervasive, enterprises need to adopt an agile approach to network and security that promotes innovation and mitigates risk. AI/ML and zero trust are the key enablers of this transformation, offering visibility, control, and automation across users, workloads, IoT/OT devices, and business partners.

In this session, you will learn:

• How AI will be used to fight AI and how generative AI will contribute to increased numbers of ransomware attacks
• How the growth of zero trust segmentation will happen in parallel with the rise of firewall-free enterprises, and Zero Trust SD-WAN will begin to replace traditional SD-WAN
• How AI/ML add defensive and analytics capabilities that drive IT and business success
