Toronto CISO Community
Virtual Executive Summit

Meet virtually for in-depth conversations with your colleagues

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

In this era of digital transformation, organizations rely heavily on their third parties, however, third-party relationships come with risks. To help mitigate those risks, CISOs must work closely with their partners to ensure security.

Join this session to discuss:

• Strategies to establish a process for continuous assessment and monitoring of third parties
• How to create an accurate inventory of all vendors within your ecosystem
• What to do when your third party gets breached

Finding the right design for an effective security operations center is a complex leadership challenge weaving technology, budget, talent management and, of course, risk. Learn what questions you should be asking yourself, and other senior leaders, to ensure your SOC is up to par.

Join this session to learn:

• Models for effective insource, outsource and hybrid SOCs
• Leadership best practices for keeping employees engaged and alert
• The latest workflows for effective incident response

Are you challenged with uncontrolled costs and unknown risks from your adoption of cloud services? Concerned with whether your IaaS investments are endangering your security or compliance? Or perhaps you’re just watching your budget disappear seemingly on its own. You are not alone.

Join your peers for a discussion around:

• Optimizing the cost of the cloud
• Improving security, compliance and governance in cloud architectures
• Leveraging the resources and controls you already have
