Many third-party risks are identified after initial onboarding and due diligence, suggesting traditional methods in risk management policy fail to capture new and evolving risks. As these external partnerships become increasingly complex, the need for a new vendor risk management approach is clear.
Join this conversation to discuss:
- Establish business-driven methods for ongoing risk management analysis
- Partner across the C-Suite to establish organizational buy-in
- Strategies to employ an iterative approach to ongoing relationship management

CISOs say that what they need most in their security program is confidence that people, processes, and technology are working and effective, and that controls are in place to ensure resiliency in the case of a major event. But how do you measure that, and how do you effectively communicate across your organization’s leadership and the board?
In this discussion, you will learn:
- Why traditional metrics fall short of communicating security risk and value
- Which metrics have meaning for both boards and security teams
- How the right metrics will benefit the business and win investment for security

This is NOT your typical security conversation. We won’t be talking about how to play better "perimeter defense" at the end of your software supply chain. Instead, we will be talking about how to play better digital “innovation offense” as next-generation software supply chain attacks become more sinister with bad actors actively injecting malicious code into open source projects that feed the global software supply chain.
Join us to discuss:
- The prevalence of software supply chain attacks with real-world examples such as dependency confusion and how to continuously identify and remediate open source risk, without slowing down innovation
- Ways to integrate security guardrails directly within your DevOps pipeline
- The importance of uniting developers, security, and operations on the same team

To overcome the cybersecurity talent shortage, CISOs must leverage talent management techniques. A strong program starts with a strong CISO, and a strong CISO needs a diverse network of peers to help them lead the way. How can security leaders work to build an inclusive workforce?
Join this session to discuss:
- Talent retention strategies and techniques
- Strategies to improve communication strategies when it comes to diversity and inclusion efforts
- Ways to drive awareness, foster a sense of belonging, and create lasting change
- How a diverse team can introduce innovative approaches
