Toronto CISO Virtual Executive Summit

Data is the primary target in virtually every breach scenario – and protecting data gets harder every day. Mix overly provisioned access rights with a plethora or unknown risks, it is no wonder why data stores are so difficult to control and so susceptible to attack. How can CISOs approach a problem that is so big and complex?

Join this keynote and discuss:

• Strategies to map and govern data
• How to gain visibility into high risk areas
• Ways to stay ahead of the compliance curve

Identifying, classifying, and mitigating risk is the cornerstone of CISOs overarching security strategy. With the explosion of privileged accounts, unpatched vulnerabilities, and remote workers shrinking the windows of exposure across a widening attack surface is no easy task.

Join this session to discuss:

• How to implement the principle of least privilege
• Ways to improve the security of a remote workforce
• Key trends based on 12 months of Patch Tuesdays

Digital transformation has created a convergence of users, devices, and applications that demands an identity-based security approach. With the identity perimeter exposed, CISOs need new and better ways to protect it. 

Join this interactive boardroom conversation to discuss: 

• Strategies to reach frictionless IAM 
• How identity can protect against automated attacks 
• The future of IAM including passwordless authentication
