Jennifer Czaplewski
Director, Product Security
Target
Over the past few years, Target has shifted the role of its security team from enforcer to teacher.

Hear from Target’s senior cyber security leaders about:
- Lessons learned and how any company can adopt the Product Intelligence model
- How the Product Intelligence score for applications allows engineers to integrate security into their development process

U.S. Bank
Michael Musto
Senior Global Information Security Leader
3M
James Plouffe
Strategic Technologist
MobileIron
Mobile devices and cloud services have dissolved the enterprise IT perimeter. Business data flows freely across a wide information fabric spanning a variety of devices, apps, networks, and cloud services. As traditional network perimeters become obsolete, organizations must address these modern security challenges with a zero trust - “always verify, never trust” approach.
In this boardroom, you’ll discuss:
- Redefining security strategies to address a perimeter-less environment
- Enforcing corporate security without compromising user experience
- Using mobile-centric technology to drive business innovation
Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic. These private, closed-door discussions encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CISOs). To reserve your seat, please contact Christopher Brown at 971.222.2378 or christopher.brown@gartner.com.

Douglas DeGrote
CISO
Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America
How do you take disparate data points and metrics and turn it into a story to tell the business? Doug DeGrote shares his methodology on combining the end to end spectrum of what’s important to the organization, and what technology can tell security leaders, to create a scientific assessment of risk.
Join this session to learn:
- How to align technology data points to business risk
- How to make security details make sense to the business
- What to watch, weigh and measure
10:20am - 11:10am Breakout Session
The Artificial Reality of Cyber Defense
Hosted by Radware
Ron Winward
Security Evangelist
Radware
Security threats are growing faster than security teams and budgets cannot keep up. Hackers are leveraging automation in their attacks, increasing the number of targets and the probability of victimizing organizations even in the smallest of windows of opportunity. As a defender, you get a handful of opportunities to detect and block breaches – and finding the proverbial needle in the haystack has become nearly impossible without automation.
This session explores:
- How to best leverage automation in detection and mitigation
- Where automation fits into a modern security strategy
- How to come out on top in the war against cyberthreats
10:20am - 11:10am Executive Boardroom

Fairview Health Services
Becky MacDonald

Essentia Health
Jonathan Langer

Connected devices provide valuable new functionality and revenue opportunities. They can also become a security nightmare, as many were not designed with security in mind.

Join this roundtable to discuss:
- Best practices in managing IoT ecosystems
- Challenges impacting medical devices in particular
- Case studies of successful segmentation
