Mary Haigh
Global CISO
BAE Systems
Geopolitical tensions have escalated cyber threats to BAE Systems, particularly within their strategic defense capabilities, crucial for maintaining our way of life and societal values. In her keynote, Mary Haigh (Global CISO, BAE Systems), will explore what needs to be in place to underpin effective cyber security embedded in the way we do business. She argues that CISOs shouldn't start with the technology, they should focus on developing a clear vision and strategy, the governance, transparent reporting, the culture and the strong moral values within our teams. When conditions are optimal, technology, people, and processes synergies to fortify our cyber resilience against growing threats.

The complete entanglement of cyber risk with business risk is becoming increasingly visible. CISOs now have an opportunity to better pinpoint third parties that present a threat to the organisation. 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?

For many organisations, the question isn't if they'll be attacked, but when and how it will happen. Certain attack types are growing more accessible for a wider variety of attackers, and the risks of distributed work, cloud adoption, and third-party code are impossible to fully contain.
This discussion will focus on strategies security leaders and their teams can use to preserve business operations and protect sensitive data in a world where attacks are inevitable. Specifically, you’ll discuss:
10:45 - 11:50 Networking Break
10:55 - 11:40 Peer-to-Peer Meetings
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.

CISOs have a unique and valuable skill set that makes them excellent candidates to take on NED roles. Taking on such additional responsibilities can also provide additional growth opportunities and professional network expansion. But what does the role of a NED actually entail? How do you know which potential NED role is right for you? What are the realities of juggling a growing plate of priorities alongside your current workload, and how can you make sure you’re set up for success? Join Elaine Bucknor Strategic Advisor, Non Executive Director and Technology Executive and Claire Davies Partnership CISO, John Lewis Partnership as they have an open conversation about the multiple routes CISOs could take after leaving the hot seat, including considering an NED position.
Specifically, they will discuss:

CISOs recognise the benefits of AI to stay in the innovation race for their organisations. According to Wiz, although 70% of organisations are using cloud-based managed AI services, many are still in the experimentation phase. CISOs must establish a robust governance programme to better support cloud-based AI tools. Ultimately, ensuring a more secure framework to protect assets within the cloud.

As the attack surface grows, CISOs know they need a holistic view of their security posture to stay safe. Recognised within Gartner’s re-classification of security operations, CISOs must ensure they detect and mitigate third party and internal threats. By adopting a risk-based approach, CISOs can assess cyber maturity, address compliance gaps and ultimately, prioritise how they spend security investment.
