France CIO Executive Summit

Bringing a global construction group with a 358-year history into the digital age is no easy task. It requires a fundamental shift in ways of working; moving from a labour-intensive approach utilising traditional materials to one with a lighter carbon footprint. Join Ursula Soritsch-Renier, as she shares how the Saint-Gobain Group have embraced digitalisation to reshape the construction industry.

In this keynote, Ursula will share how to: 

• Embed IT and digitalisation as a pillar in the wider Group’s strategy
• Align the IT and Digital strategy closer to business needs to accelerate transformation
• Communicate digitalisation use case to demonstrate results to stakeholders

The costs of protecting endpoints are increasing with the constantly growing threats. CISOs face numerous challenges in cybersecurity and administration, requiring game-changing improvements to prevent cyberattacks. Every endpoint is a potential gateway for an attacker to access the corporate network. However, IT organisations can overcome these challenges by combining strong zero-trust protections, controls and innovations in the secure enterprise browser, ensuring strong protection on both managed and unmanaged devices.

Join this session to discuss:

• Appropriately assigning resources to strengthen your endpoint security - simplifying and maintaining an effective security program
• How state of the art security concepts like zero trust and SASE help to be prepared for this next generation of attacks
• Safeguarding enterprise security while maintaining user productivity

The adoption of cloud-native technologies by businesses has been a significant challenge for CISOs, as it requires adapting to new security risks and maintaining security in a rapidly changing environment. However, many CISOs are adapting to these challenges by implementing new strategies and technologies to secure cloud-native applications and infrastructure.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• With the number of cloud threats increasing and the adoption of cloud-native technologies, what are the key challenges and risks that CISOs are facing?
• The importance of correlation across the entire cloud environment to prevent attacks or minimise their impact
• What strategies CISOs are adopting to transform and secure their cloud security operation model

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.

Artificial intelligence has the potential to drive efficiency and technological innovation. Yet taking advantage of this opportunity in the wrong way can have serious security consequences for the organization. IT and Security leaders need to anticipate and prepare to mitigate potential risks as data is increasingly accessed and analysed in increasingly different ways. For business stakeholders to secure investment, how can CIOs and CISOs demonstrate the benefits of these technologies? Join this session to learn about:

• How AI plays a role in sophisticated attacks today and how to prepare

• How leaders can use AI capabilities to enhance cybersecurity and demonstrate value to the business

• Examples of how to leverage AI to process and analyse large volumes of data quickly and safely

With cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated and frequent, it is a challenge for CISOs to stay ahead of threats and be ready to respond in case of an attack. Even after investing in the right people, processes and technologies and conducting tabletop exercises, are we confident we will be able to translate theory into action when the attack comes?

Join Jean-Jacques Mallet, Group CISO at L’Oréal as he shares insights on Incident Detection & Response. In this session, you will have insights on:  

• How to navigate an ever-growing flow of threat information
• Vulnerabilities identification and prioritisation for remediation
• Detection capabilities efficiency
• How to help the teams respond better and faster and learn from concrete use cases

CISOs are dealing with an increased volume of threats as well as budget and talent challenges. It is evident that one SOC does not fit all. Security leaders must therefore enhance DevSecOps automation to maintain a resilient security posture. What does the next level of SOC look like?

Join this boardroom to discuss how to:

• Rethink the vision for your SOC and source the right technical talent to fill those gaps
• Integrate DevSecOps into your cloud security strategy
• Move from a SOC to a VOC (Vulnerability Operations Centre) and how DevOps technology can support this
