Dallas CISO Executive Summit

At the very top of the world, as in the business world, constant change means we’re all navigating new terrain. Come together and bounce back from the greatest disruptive event of our generation, while being inspired by 3x world record-breaking adventurer Daniel Bull. He shares powerful and practical strategies learnt from Everest to Antarctica and beyond while empowering you to defy limits, grasp opportunities, and conquer your own mountains – in work and in life.

Daniel will share:

• Proven strategies for dealing with unrelenting change
• Powerful insights on courageous leadership in the face of ongoing uncertainty
• What it takes to reach the top – adopting a growth mindset and boosting resilience despite epic challenges

While the vast majority of infrastructure has been upgraded and modernized to secure the shift to the cloud, enterprise IT teams are still missing an equally seamless access method to safely deliver those now cloud-native apps and data. While traditional browsers have become the de facto access point for the majority of business critical applications, they lack the deep inspection capabilities and hyper-granular security controls enterprises need. This results in security teams surrounding their browsers with layers of tech to meet those needs.

Join this breakout session to discover:

• Why traditional cloud security methods undermine your modernization efforts and end-user experience
• Embracing technological momentum to adapt to a "more-with-less" security landscape
• How enterprise CISOs are using this solution to bolster cloud security

As more and more organizations adopt a Zero Trust architecture (ZTA), many initiatives overlook the increased prevalence of API-based access to sensitive application functionality and data. As CISOs move forward in their ZTA journey, how can they extend these principles to their API strategy to ensure security from the network layer to the application layer?

Join this session to discuss:

• Breaking the kill chain by stopping infection vectors and protecting against lateral movement
• Shielding sensitive data and limiting how APIs interact with data
• Increasing real-time visibility across the business to mitigate threats

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CxOs).

In a world where traditional SIEM solutions are often described as “dead,” the need for reevaluation and innovation in security practices becomes paramount. It is important for CISO’s to consider the myths and realities surrounding cost, deployment, and maintenance.

Join this session to discuss:

• A shift towards intuitive tuning mechanisms to enhance security posture
• The importance of agility, scalability, and comprehensive threat visibility in the evolving landscape
• Contemporary security strategies for streamlined threat detection

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

 Prioritizing and eliminating the cyber risks that matter most is the ultimate goal of security leaders. But how do you validate that your efforts are hitting the mark? It all comes down to well-crafted measurements: metrics that are reliable and easily understood by all stakeholders across the business.

In this session, we will discuss:

• Cybersecurity risk assessment essentials and which risks truly carry weight
• Concrete approaches to determine effectiveness of security capabilities
• Creating simple "metric cards" to communicate across stakeholders

Organizations are constantly being targeted and attacked. It's inevitable that the attacks will happen, but it's up to CISOs to strategically plan for how to keep business going as usual and minimize disruption.

During this session you will explore:

• What resiliency means, how to prioritize achieving it, and lessons learned
• Holistic approaches to architecting a tried-and-true cyber resiliency plan
• Enabling security and business operations to move forward through turbulence

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 overview of the threat landscape and vulnerabilities across ecosystems and supply chains?

Join this session to discuss:

• Identification of vulnerabilities across your vendor landscape to prioritize response efforts
• Best practices for mitigating a new wave of sophisticated attacks to keep assets safe
• The role threat intelligence plays in risk management strategies to safeguard your digital ecosystem

When users are everywhere and digital operations span cloud, SaaS, and on-premises environments, achieving cyber resilience becomes paramount. The challenge lies in navigating this complexity and maintaining visibility and control to ensure continuous operation despite cyber threats.

Join this interactive roundtable to discuss:

• Optimizing costs and improving security across diverse cloud environments
• Adopting Zero Trust philosophies to protect users, data, and applications
• Innovating with AI while addressing global regulatory and data privacy requirements
