Executive Summit

Boards and C-level executives expect technology and cybersecurity leaders to deliver clarity, alignment, and measurable outcomes. It requires translating risk into business outcomes, building trust and inspiring shared accountability. Drawing on his journey transitioning from Global CISO to Global CTO at Belron, Anthony Foust will share practical strategies for strengthening board and executive engagement, elevating trust and embedding resilience across the enterprise.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Define and communicate success through metrics that resonate with boards and business leaders
• Build open, productive relationships with the board and senior executives by aligning cyber priorities to business outcomes
• Foster a culture of resilience and shared accountability, where security is seen as a business enabler rather than a barrier

As enterprises expand cloud use, CISOs must reduce risk, ensure resilience, and maintain compliance. Zero Trust in the cloud goes beyond identity — it hinges on segmentation, continuous visibility, and policy enforcement across multi-cloud networks. Closing gaps in east-west traffic, containerization, and egress controls is vital for protecting operations and reporting risk effectively.

Join this session to learn how to:

• Embed zero trust principles into cloud network architecture
• Eliminate blind spots across multicloud and containerized environments
• Demonstrate risk reduction and regulatory compliance with confidence

Gaining leadership buy-in for risk mitigation is not just about the metrics; it’s about the story. Tech and cybersecurity leaders can work to reframe conversations about risk by not only developing consistent and quantifiable models, but also ensuring key stakeholders can understand and engage throughout the process.

Join this session to discuss:

• Measuring, documenting and communicating cyber- and IT-related risks
• Connecting risk management to broader organizational goals and enterprise strategies
• Engaging the board and executive leadership with refined messaging and impactful presentations

As enterprises pursue AI-driven innovation, success hinges on the integrity, governance and culture surrounding their data. Without trusted data and a workforce prepared to use it effectively, even the most advanced tools will fall short.

Join this session to discuss with peers:

• Implementing robust data governance to ensure timely, secure access for the right stakeholders
• Strengthening data integrity to empower data-driven decision-making
• Transitioning from traditional reporting to predictive and AI-powered tools for greater efficiency and insight

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

CIOs, CISOs, and CTOs face mounting pressure to manage evolving threats, comply with complex regulations, reduce costs, and integrate emerging technologies—all while maintaining team performance. But in this high-stakes environment, cyberattacks aren’t the only danger. The personal resilience of leaders and their teams is also at risk.

Join this session for insights into:

• Embracing a human-centric leadership approach in IT and cybersecurity
• Bridging the gap between technical priorities, business strategy and mental health
• Creating a culture that prioritizes both business results and team well-being

For most organizations, the number of connected, essential devices is growing by the second. In response, the jurisdiction of CISOs is changing just as rapidly. Now, in the case of any security issue, the rest of the C-suite looks to the CISO for answers.

Join this session to discuss:

• Understanding new and growing operational technology responsibilities
• Planning and controlling your OT workload
• Juggling IT and OT security simultaneously
