Indianapolis CIO Virtual Executive Summit

In 2020, the multi-decade process of turning the digital enterprise inside out accelerated instantly. The inflection point has now passed – most cyber assets live outside the old “walls'' of the organization and cybersecurity controls must be scalable, flexible and reliable.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• How business transformation is forcing security to think differently about architecting their environment
• Reconceptualizing traditional ideas of how to approach security within the enterprise and shifting the business mindset
• Recruiting and developing the right cybersecurity talent to match business needs

With remote work, organizations around the world are at a greater risk of cyber threats than ever before, and cybercriminals are taking advantage of the situation. In this session, you will examine the biggest challenges security leaders face, and why a people-centric approach to security is everyone’s biggest opportunity to better protect their organizations.

In this session, you will explore:

• How remote work and the move to the cloud has changed the nature of threats to data
• The ways in which organizations are building controls to better understand and protect their employees
• The impact of changing behaviors, employee culture and workplace environment on people risk
• How today’s threats are informing your data protection practices/controls

Don't miss this opportunity to meet with CIO & CISO practitioners and industry thought leaders who shared their insights on the agenda. Come with questions and get ready to meet new friends in this casual session designed to foster peer connections and collaboration in the Indianapolis community. 

The need to respond to change has placed the highest demands on the CIO and CISO. The need for resiliency, adaptability, and new digital products has shifted from “nice to have” to “required”. CIOs and CISOs must join together with business leaders to champion innovative digital product offerings for companies to compete in the new economy.

The digital journey for traditional companies can be daunting. This discussion will explore highlights and challenges experienced through Delta Faucet’s adventure, including:

• Innovating products to stay competitive
• Creating the platform to match the needs of the business
• Learnings along the way and what’s next

Diversity, equity and inclusion are top of mind for executives, but how are leaders implementing programs to initiate change? Leaders today are finding inspired pathways to create progressive and inclusive cultures, development opportunities, and collaborative opportunities to drive diversity initiatives. As DE&I programs remain a top priority, how are CIOs & CISOs bringing ideas to reality?

Join this session for a discussion on how to:

• Leverage a culture of inclusion across the IT function to accelerate innovation and business outcomes
• Reimagine tactics to hire more diverse talent
• Create avenues that allow marginalized sections of the workforce to elevate

Added to the list of bona fides for today’s information security leader is a multilingual mandate for speaking the languages of risk. Business risk, legal risk and more all intertwine with an effective security strategy, yet the owners of each area don’t always see eye to eye. Where business units aren’t looking at risk the same way, an opportunity opens for malicious actors.

Join this session to discuss:

• Successful examples of cross-functional partnerships in risk management
• Metrics that effectively describe risk within, and outside of, security
• Tips for leveraging risk discussions to gain support for security at board-level 

No matter their geographical location or industry, all CIOs & CISOs face common obstacles: Navigating a limited talent pool and building a workforce that can continue to push their organization’s digital initiatives forward. In this environment, how are you thinking about upskilling your people and creating the right succession plan for future leaders to match your business' vision?

In this boardroom, you will discuss ways of:

• Determining what skills your organization will need to thrive
• Upskilling the right talent for accelerating your IT transformation
• Developing existing talent for leadership succession planning

Are you challenged with uncontrolled costs and unknown risks from your adoption of cloud services? Concerned with whether your IaaS investments are endangering your security or compliance? Or perhaps you’re just watching your budget disappear seemingly on its own. You are not alone.

Join your peers for a discussion around:

• Optimizing the cost of the cloud
• Improving security, compliance and governance in cloud architectures
• Leveraging the resources and controls you already have
