Cybersecurity business leaders must demonstrate vision, agility, and flexibility to build truly responsive security operations capable of combating today’s emerging attacks.

Join eSentire Threat Response Unit (TRU) expert Ryan Westman, as he shares 3 unique cases of leading through crisis, demonstrating how you too can govern with proactivity and confidence in order to reclaim the advantage over new cyber attack methods.

It’s no longer enough to manage your team, and hope they stick around. Instead, long-term retention calls for a focus on well-being and culture. Now, in this era of labor uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to come together and share what’s working.

Join this session to hear:

  • How leaders are supporting and engaging their company cultures
  • What leaders are doing to support wellbeing
  • How to sustain and improve retention amidst volatility and uncertainty

An organization's ability to achieve successful digital transformation is in large part enabled by the security team. Distributed, loosely connected infrastructure and tools, coupled with the demand for almost any-to-any connectivity, complicates the mission. Regularly defined as being delivered by a single "silver bullet" point solution, the term zero trust is now often held in poor regard. It is however, a highly effective conceptual framework, and perhaps even a cultural shift, that many organizations have been working with for several years.

Join this interactive boardroom to discuss:

  • The broader definition of what a zero trust framework is
  • The foundational control required to build a zero trust program
  • Strategies for improving the user experience and proving value to get organization wide acceptance

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 CIOs & CISOs).

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.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

  • Managing the lifecycle of API risks
  • Defending against API attacks
  • Developer-led API security practices

Identity and Strategy – No Access without Context

Ben Corll headshot

Ben Corll

CISO - Americas

Zscaler

Organizations of every size are accelerating digital transformation to become more agile—but in the process, they’re greatly expanding their attack surfaces and exposing themselves to new threats. Once-stalwart castle-and-moat security architectures built on VPNs and virtual or physical firewalls are ill-equipped to address these new challenges. Today’s progressive leaders are turning to zero trust and it is up to CIOs and CISOs to lead the executive and strategic planning requirements to design zero trust throughout the enterprise.

In this session, you’ll hear:

  • The essential elements of a true zero trust solution
  • How to successfully implement a zero trust architecture across your organization
  • How to position zero trust to other C-level executives and the board

1:10pm - 1:25pm  Break

Despite their efforts, from phishing simulations to security awareness campaigns, CISOs from organizations big and small keep falling short when it comes to stopping Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks. But, if everyone has an email security program, why are the losses associated with BEC still climbing?

Join this session to discuss:

  • What is working, or not working, with existing processes and technology?
  • How do we solve the "human factor" in the equation?
  • Best practices for preventing loss related to a BEC attack?

The ROI of Creativity

Noah Scalin headshot

Noah Scalin

Artist, Innovation Consultant

Guest Speaker

The World Economic Forum named creativity one of the top must-have skills for success in all industries. It is the key to thriving in this era of rapid innovation and change. But very few organizations have truly invested in the development of this essential capability. Why? Because creativity is considered too intangible to measure, too messy to fit into a strategic plan or simply something that is only for a few specially talented people.  In this engaging presentation, Artist/Author Noah Scalin pulls back the curtain on his own creative practice to explain the real ROI of creativity.

In this session, we will learn:

  • Why creativity is a crucial skill for fostering innovation at your organization
  • How to use creativity strategically for long-term impact
  • Simple strategies that anyone can use to innovate, grow and inspire others

9:30am - 10:00am  Networking Break

In this session, you will explore:

  • The components of an effective cybersecurity strategy that drive your program and reduce risk

Supply chain based attacks continue to be on the rise. Attackers always choose the easiest path. Today, it’s often done by first compromising one of the end targets suppliers and then abusing that trusted relationship that they have to target an organization. What are you most likely to open; an unknown email from an unknown sender with an attachment, or an invoice from your favorite supplier?

Join this boardroom to explore:

  • Strategies to implement with your TPRM program
  • Case studies for remediation processes
  • Opportunities for change that will have the biggest impact
