Florida CIO Virtual Executive Summit

In an increasingly competitive landscape, new thinking, new technology and new ways of doing business are essential. But to fully embrace and leverage innovation, CIOs must be fully aligned to the strategy and execution of the organization. Take this opportunity to share your strategies for embedding innovation into the core of your business. This conversation will focus on:

• Evaluating emerging technologies and building the business case for their implementation
• Defining new business opportunities through technology
• Creating a comprehensive culture of innovation rooted in practical, measurable outcomes

Leading information security executives know that the language of technology doesn’t always resonate outside of IT. “Risk” is the vocabulary of the business, yet measuring and discussing this all-important concept in an actionable way remains a unique challenge. Join this session to learn:

• Actionable risk metrics, both for use inside the security function and with outside stakeholders
• How the language and awareness of information security risk has evolved
• Techniques to automate collection of meaningful security metrics

Remember when “embracing disruption” was an aspirational call-to-action – not a necessary navigation of everyday life? Now that you have your company’s undivided, fully-disrupted attention, why look back? As the pandemic pushes more and more customers online, CIOs must ensure that their experience is seamless – creating the right channels for connection and utilizing the right data to innovate products or services.

This conversation will focus on:

• Designing and delivering an optimal digital future for your business
• Leveraging a cultural shift to more agile, rapid technology outcomes
• Ways to evolve a data-centric approach to consumer insight – fostering new business opportunities

Hosted by Duo Security

An informal and interactive opportunity for you to network with peers in small groups. 

Organizations are feeling a shift in the world of networking and security as they rapidly adopt and embrace the cloud. On-premises private data centers are no longer the place for data and workloads to exist. With this shift, security and networking are brought closer than ever. Enterprises need speed, visibility, security and reliability without compromise. Enter, the secure access service edge, better known as SASE. Its’ inevitable that SASE implementations and zero trust implementations need to collide to provide a more comprehensive security capability to truly support digital transformation. How can your organization best position itself for the transition?

In this session, you will discuss:

• Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise
• Benefits of planning both SASE and zero trust implementations
• Insights from organizations adopting SASE and zero trust today

A rapidly growing number of security tools have arisen to help organizations better secure their environments and actively protect important data, from SIEM to EDR to SOAR and more. In response, many organizations are purchasing more tools than they can effectively manage or find, train and retain staff for as they struggle to stay protected against the latest security threats. However, a recent study of hundreds of security leaders finds a majority fear they have increased organizational risk levels and decreased ability to respond effectively to threats. In this session, we will detail these findings, then explore how your organization can better measure visibility, efficacy and performance to optimize investments and reduce risk. In this discussion, you’ll learn:

• The state of “tools sprawl” and data showing its impact on security organizations
• Tips to implement immediately to get a handle on tool efficacy
• Apply a new approach to maturing your security posture

Today’s enterprise has access to endless amounts of data and CIOs must continually find true meaning and value in the data. This peer-to-peer discussion will consider ways to mature your data and analytics program to provide accurate, real-time data.Come ready to discuss how to:

• Implement data strategies that align with desired business outcomes
• Leverage data to gain greater insights and drive value
• Define clear data ownership and standardization

The cloud and mobility are powerful enablers of digital transformation, but many organizations are grappling with legacy architectures that haven't evolved much in decades. With most applications in the cloud and employees working remotely, legacy network and security models are not only ineffective, but they hinder your ability to take advantage of the agility, productivity, efficiency, and speed enabled by digital transformation. Network and security architectures need to evolve to securely connect any entities—users, devices, applications—to meet business needs in the digital era. “In this session, Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry will discuss how digital transformation has made companies more resilient, enabling staff to work remotely with minimal disruption and no compromising on security.”

In this interactive session, we’ll discuss:

• “Owning the moment”: IT’s opportunity to accelerate secure digital transformation
• Best practices for securing work-from-anywhere using Gartner’s secure access service edge (SASE) and zero trust network access (ZTNA) frameworks
• What comes next: IT’s new role as strategic business enabler
