Agenda


Keynote Sessions

Life After CISO 2.0

You've spent a good majority of your career in information security, climbing your way to the top - to the CISO role. You finally made it. But... what's next? What are your career options and how should you prepare for exploring them?

Join this panel of current and former CISOs to learn about:

  • How to set yourself up for success when preparing for the transition after a CISO Role
  • Knowing what your career options are
  • The skills and experience you'll need to bolster your board position marketability

  • Woz, live and unrecorded from the Global keynote stage
  • Rare stories, thoughts and opinions on tech's past, present and future
  • Inspiring accounts of successful, innovation-led businesses


Breakout Sessions

Compliance Is Not Your Endgame

As a response to recent rulings, a feeling of satisfaction just covering your bases is understandable. But "compliance" and "security" are two different things. Only by deliberately working toward greater resilience can CISOs achieve both.

Join Tim Callahan, SVP, Global CISO, Aflac to:

  • Discuss the dangers of prioritizing compliance over security
  • Walk, step-by-step, through a proven route to resilience
  • Access new paths to defensibility and personal insulation

Navigating New Terrain — Collaborative CISO, Legal Responses to the SEC

Today's mandated notification protocols and shifting regulatory landscapes, along with the looming specter of professional liability, compel CISOs to solidify their alliances with legal advisors. Together, this partnership can create robust materiality assessment frameworks, elevate risk management strategies, and refine communication tactics. The goal is clear - precision in compliance.

This session brings together the insights of an experienced SEC lawyer and a seasoned CISO to:

  • Decode the ramifications of the SEC's regulatory updates for CISOs
  • Offer actionable strategies for navigating the SEC's requirements and broader legal challenges
  • Review reporting practices using a good, better, best approach

The Path to Alignment – The CIO and CISO Relationship

Partnership is possible. And, when that partnership is at its best, it can make life a lot easier for information and security executives alike. To pull it off, CIOs and CISOs will need transparency and a jointly-held goal to both avoid risk and meet business goals. 

Demonstrating their collaborative relationship, Luis Suarez and Marcos Marrero will discuss:

  • Strengthening the IT-Security partnership to fuel innovation and accelerate new technology deployments
  • How security became ingrained throughout the entire enterprise
  • Making the relationship work regardless of the reporting structure
