Detroit CIO Executive Summit

IT and security leaders across the globe are asking themselves how to protect the business as ransomware grows increasingly prevalent and as attackers continue to raise their demands. It may seem challenging to prioritize building out your recovery plan when you could spend that time focused on increasing defensive measures, but recovering from ransomware is not a process you want to wing. How can CIOs and CISOs move forward in creating roadmaps that weave together technology, security and business strategy to ensure a swift response and recovery?

Join this keynote as panelists discuss:

• Building internal partnerships to strengthen your security posture
• Reducing risk across the enterprise and minimizing your attack surface
• Having the right people, processes and policies in place for before and after an attack

The proliferation of the use of IoT devices on both the plant floor and at home has increased the attack surface as companies have embraced digital manufacturing to increase efficiency and optimize operating costs. IoT is crucial across business functions and the enterprise, meaning building IoT security programs are critical. Join Arun DeSouza to learn about his 7 IoT Security Guiding Principles.

Buying or building and then deploying applications is complex and requires a detailed approach. CIOs were the heroes in making pandemic induced digital transformation happen. IT leaders are now rethinking the work from anywhere infrastructure strategies and the direct impact on premise data centers. The CISO can be an enabler by efficiently ensuring security of applications on premise, at the remote office, and in the cloud.

In this session, you will explore:

• Driving success while balancing business innovation, managing security, and creating an IT business strategy that works
• Evaluating investments in security against the need for rapid development
• Technology investments needed for 2022 and beyond

As API traffic surges, third-party networks rapidly expand, and the digital business accelerates, the threat of suffering a breach or disruption looms large on the horizon. CIOs & CISOs managing an ever-expanding attack surface must fortify the foundations of their infrastructure, applications, and teams so that when the next big vulnerability is uncovered…you’re ready to respond.

Join this peer conversation to discuss:

• Replacing static access controls and legacy security perimeters that delay incident response
• Identifying and mitigating the risks of third-party networks and software supply chains
• Trends in data privacy regulations and data protection measures

As business and technology teams drive cloud adoption and implement modern application architectures, the security vulnerabilities of the sprawling IT stack multiply as visibility dwindles. Now is the time to explore new applications and API security strategies to proactively reduce risk, secure the environment, and capitalize on cloud-native capabilities to meet these challenges.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Establishing effective vulnerability management and application security programs
• Moving from a reactive to a proactive security posture
• API governance and security challenges and opportunities

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.

Approximately 110 Million households lack high-speed internet in America. In Detroit, over 40% of the residents are without high-speed internet. Based on internet usage, Detroit is considered the least connected city in America. In this session, you will learn how the City of Detroit is creating an innovative social impact model that leverages private and public sector leadership to ensure cities like Detroit are able to thrive in the digital economy.

Art Thompson, CIO, City of Detroit will cover:

• What is the digital divide and why should you care
• Why CIOs & CISOs are the most valuable player to help tackle this divide
• How you can get involved in Detroit and communities across America

Building trust and resilience across infrastructure and security teams is key to defending the enterprise. As companies execute zero trust strategies, the partnership between CIOs, CISOs, and their teams is more important than ever.

Join this session to learn about:

• The critical components of a modern zero trust strategy
• Proven practices for infrastructure and security collaboration
• Improving internal stakeholder relationships to make the right investments and fuel business outcomes

CIOs must balance security, with innovation and speed - and are asked to create IT environments that can adapt to spikier workloads, interdependent applications, and more data at the edge, even as cyber-attacks and ransomware increase. How can businesses digitally transform with the cloud – ensuring they have a secure environment where customer data is not compromised – while dealing with application sprawl and siloed data? The answer is clear - a secure and open hybrid cloud architecture, but the path to getting there is murky.

In this discussion, we will explore ways to:

• Connect and integrate across a distributed and hybrid cloud environment to create a common experience for applications and data
• Modernize and de-risk regulated industries to keep workloads compliant, secure, and resilient
• Optimize control of decentralization to manage and maintain enterprise systems infrastructure

Artificial Intelligence is a pervasive part of our lives today and cybersecurity teams and adversaries alike have learned to harness the speed and power of machines to strengthen their capabilities. With machine learning becoming one of the most important tools of defense, leaders must balance the overwhelming speed and accuracy advantage of AI with the need for measured and intuitive interactions with a real-world human element. 

Join this session to discuss: 

• What these trends mean for the hands-on practitioner
• When velocity of innovation outpaces the capabilities of human intellect
• The role of automation in the effective practice of securing our digital world
