How can security professionals expand their security measures to protect this ever-expanding attack surface?

In this session, Tommy Gardner draws on real-world examples to teach CISOs how to:

Use data analytics and a proven framework to secure endpoint devices.
Understand and defend against the next wave of hackers.

Great Data Visualization Requires a Nimble Data Foundation

Todd Kackley

VP & CIO

Textron Systems

Wolf Ruzicka

Chairman of the Board

Eastbanc Technologies

Data visualization is merely the window to your big data, predictive analytics, machine learning or artificial intelligence efforts. Whether you see a clear picture or confusing / misleading graphs largely depends on the data foundation you built, not just visuals.

What does it take to visualize data in a way that is actionable
What worked or didn’t in your organization
Discuss best practices and lessons learned

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 CISOs).

Creating the Digital Workplace

Eddie Alicea

VP CIO

BAE Systems

Creating a digital workplace isn’t just about rolling out new technology—it’s about leveraging people, processes and technology to achieve business outcomes. Among the keys to a successful execution are gaining executive buy-in and creating an atmosphere that supports adoption of the new environment.

In this session, Eddie Alicea shares details of his multi-year journey to a digital workplace, including how he:

Aligned the business with IT
Automated business processes and rationalized systems
Supported people as they adapted to new tools and processes

Convergence of Security Across Platforms, Disciplines and Architectures

Joan Ross

Field CISO

Fortinet, Inc.

The security infrastructure that organizations buy and maintain often becomes fragmented over time, thanks to new products deployed to address technological changes and expansions. But adding various security products to secure each new attack surface results in less visibility, a lack of control by the CISO and a reactive-versus-proactive security response.

In this session, join your peers to learn how to:

Defend against blended attacks between cyber and physical and across IT and OT platforms.
Create visibility of all security elements and the communications these systems and devices generate
Automate operations and responses.
Take a holistic architectural approach to network, data and even physical security.

10:35am - 11:25am Executive Boardroom

How CIOs and CISOs should think about agile development

Howard Spira

Senior Vice President and CIO

Export-Import Bank

It’s not news that today’s CISOs and CIOs are expected to be business leaders within their organizations, but that doesn’t mean the responsibility comes easy. Communication can distinguish a good CISO or CIO from a great one, yet many lack the skills to speak the language of the rest of the c-suite.

In this session, Howard Spira shares insight on:

What metrics and content will help you craft a compelling story to inspire action from your c-suite.
A well-rounded communication plan that extends beyond the board.
How to better understand the individuals you work with, so you can tailor your pitch.

Rhea Siers
