Understaffed teams, inefficient processes, alert overload — this is a typical day for a SOC team. The result? Analysts so consumed with tedious, repetitive tasks leading not only to higher risk of burnout, but also human error that could cost millions.

AVP - Technology Security and Compliance (CISO)

A Security Operations Center is at the heart of a security function and plays a vital part in keeping an organization secure. You can outsource the tactical effort for security, but not the responsibility, liability and accountability. For those reasons, it is critical that your MSSP provider continues to align with your business goals, risks and risk tolerances.

Join this session as your peers discuss:

  • Improving governance of an MSSP provider
  • Defining expected outcomes and required deliverables to the supplier
  • Measuring the success of a program

Information security leaders navigate an increasingly complex matrix of national and foreign data privacy regulations. The SEC have even proposed new rules to force public companies to add skilled cybersecurity members to their boards, a tactic that worked 20 years ago for financial expertise. But can it work again? It’s not going to be an easy shift, corporate governance requires specialized expertise, deep operational competency, an understanding of business value and how to manage exposure to risk.

Join your peers as they discuss:

  • Creating a cloud infrastructure that meets security and compliance requirements
  • Building compliance into development
  • Automating compliance documentation

Accounting for Third-Party Risk in Strategic Planning

John Chisum headshot

Vice President, Solutions Consulting

RiskRecon

Third parties expose businesses to strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks. Moreover, leaders have less visibility into third parties than into their own businesses. For many organizations, the pandemic exposed the fragility of the organization’s third-party network and impressed the need to flex quickly to new third and fourth parties in the extended enterprise to meet demand without increasing risk exposure.

Join this session sponsored by RiskRecon to discuss:

  • Standardizing third-party risk management assessments to be used by business units
  • Maintaining visibility of all ongoing third-party relationships
