Transforming Agility & Security in a Cloud World

Jay Chaudhry

CEO, Chairman & Founder

Zscaler, Inc.

The cloud and mobility are powerful enablers of digital transformation, but many IT organizations are grappling with legacy architectures and processes that haven't evolved in over 30 years. When apps lived in the data center, it made sense to invest in building a 'hub-and-spoke' network and to protect that network by employing a 'castle-and-moat' security model. But agility demands from both internal and external stakeholders in the new world of SaaS, cloud and mobility requires organizations to evolve their network and security architectures.

As enterprises grow increasingly reliant on technology for every aspect of operations, CISOs have found themselves in a completely new operations center: the boardroom.

In this session Costlow will share strategies for discussing security and technology priorities at the board level.

Put risk in perspective and focus on your plan for recovery
Understand the gaps in your program and come with a plan to fill them
Focus on business risk/reward by mapping core security priorities to business objectives

Zero-Trust is a Journey, Not a Destination

John Criddle

Director of Infrastructure & Security

Lithia Motors Inc,

Wolf Goerlich

Advisory CISO

Duo Security

Dennis Tomlin

CISO

Multnomah County Oregon

One of the inherent problems for CISOs is how too many things run way too openly with too many default connections. This significant issue has led some to adopt a Zero-Trust model to simplify security holistically. In other words, Zero-Trust centers on the belief that organizations should not automatically trust anything inside or outside its perimeters and instead must verify anything and everything trying to connect to its systems before granting access.

In this interactive session, learn from your peers:

How to use and leverage technologies that you already have as you lay down a Zero-Trust architecture
How ‘defense in depth’ security models have become too complex for some on this journey
Discuss cloud migration and mobile journeys as it relates to a Zero Trust

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic.

Third Party Risk Management – Working Through Thick and Thin

Ronald Jimerson

Sean Murphy

Many companies have strong dependencies upon third party providers of equipment, software or services. Effective management of these relationships are critical enablers for many business processes. Understanding these complex interrelationships and implementing effective control mechanisms is increasingly becoming imperative and often falls within the responsibilities of the information security team.

Join this interactive session to discuss questions that must be answered:

How do your most critical business processes have dependencies upon third parties
What should be within the legal agreements
How can these agreements be validated and enforced in practice
If your requirements indicate third party support, do you need to also have support agreements
What dependencies have your third parties taken upon other parties
Can you maintain these important relationships to be mutually beneficial for both parties
