Sydney CIO Virtual Executive Summit

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. This evolved concept of cloud security architecture outlines a convergence of multiple security functions to offer identity-based secure access. How can your organization best position itself for the transition?

Join this session to hear about:

• Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise

• Benefits of moving to a SASE architecture

• Insights from organizations adopting SASE today

We all remember the time when IT matters stayed within IT. But with cloud, mobility, AI/machine learning, IoT/OT—all converging to make your organization smarter, more efficient, and more competitive—IT has become a boardroom issue. Today, IT innovators have the opportunity to take their place at the epicenter of the modern enterprise, delivering the agility, security, and user experience needed for digital transformation, thereby reducing business risk, increasing productivity, and cutting costs.

In this session, Zscaler CEO Jay Chaudhry joins to 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

Your web applications are easily accessed by customers and attackers alike. Cyber criminals can use AI and ML to bypass traditional security controls but could you use those same tools to defend your applications? CISOs must be prepared with the most current and relevant safeguards.

Attend this interactive boardroom session to discuss with your peers:

• How to increase visibility for your SOC team into unseen fraud
• Leveraging AI and ML to mitigate new types of threats
• How other CISO and CIOs are implementing new tech to shore up their defenses

Data governance and security is an unquestionably crucial exercise for every organization, especially in an era when privacy regulation is only becoming more complex and severe. Yet even in the absence of any regulation at all, consumers are expecting to hold more control of their data and its use. Organisations that provide these services build trust and loyalty in the marketplace, and in the end, that means revenue.

Join this session to learn:

• The role your peer CISOs are playing in their organisation’s data governance strategy
• The way senior business leaders are evaluating data governance and security as a business asset
• How privacy regulation is shaping business operations and consumer expectations

It’s one of the oldest maxims in cybersecurity – you can’t protect what you can’t see. And with organisations shifting to remote work and the traditional enterprise network going dark in more ways than one, new thinking is required to protect the data that matters to your organisation. After all, data doesn’t just leave on its own – a compromised account, malicious insider, or simply negligent user is almost always involved.

Join Ryan Kalember as he and a panel of CISOs discusses:

• How to adapt your security architecture to give you visibility in a remote work and cloud-oriented landscape
• The ways in which remote work and the move to the cloud has changed the nature of threats to data
• Approaches to better detect and respond to risky user actions with sensitive data

Organisations continue a push for greater agility and efficiency, and almost all paths involve the cloud. CIOs and CISOs continue to play a crucial role in ensuring cloud assets operate smoothly and securely, and as the pace of transformation accelerates, security leaders must run even faster to keep up.

Join your peers in this virtual boardroom to discuss:

• The latest trends in securing cloud environments
• Communication strategies for ensuring security is at the forefront of cloud deployments
• Balancing on-prem and cloud cyber security

Organisations are embracing Digital transformation and moving applications out of traditional network boundaries. Users are connecting from anywhere on any device. With rising cyber threats, it is vital for enterprises to identify, authenticate and provide access to applications and data on least privilege basis.

Join this session to learn:

• What the latest zero trust strategies are and where do they make sense
• How to evaluate a zero trust architecture and set a roadmap for implementation
• What will success look like?

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