Agenda
June 27, 2018
7:00am - 7:45am Registration & Breakfast
7:45am - 8:30am Keynote
Risk Appetite Metrics for the Board
Hosted by Dimension Data
Andy Ozment
CISO
Goldman Sachs
Managing the relationship with the board of directors is one of the most significant aspects of a CISO’s job – and the aspect that many new CISOs are least well-equipped to manage. How can a CISO adequately express risk in such a complex domain to a non-technical audience without oversimplifying and obscuring the content? The use of well-calibrated risk appetite metrics can help. Andy will discuss different philosophical approaches to metrics for the board, and show how metrics can put the right kind of pressure on the IT organization to perform while managing the board’s expectations.
8:30am - 9:00am Networking Break
9:00am - 9:50am Breakout Session
The Implications of Model-Driven Security
Hosted by Security Risk Advisors

Jim Routh
CISO / CSO
Aetna, Inc.
Joe Sullivan
Former Chief Security Officer
Uber Technologies, Inc. and Facebook
Cybersecurity controls and capabilities continue to improve across industries as technology changes and threat actor tactics evolve. What is becoming more common is enterprises improving resiliency through the use of unsupervised machine learning models that are driving front-line security controls. It may be the use of an UBEA platform, endpoint protection, privileged user monitoring, authentication and on-line fraud detection or all of the above. Join Jim Routh and Joe Sullivan as they discuss the implications of model-driven security both today and in the near future. Discover what is on the horizon regarding talent development, the evolution of infrastructure and tools, models using cloud computing platforms and sharing models between enterprises.
9:00am - 9:50am Breakout Session
Data Centric Security – The New Norm
Hosted by PKWARE, Inc.

Joe Sturonas
CTO
PKWARE, Inc.
Network security – it’s a losing battle. When it comes right down to it, we just can’t keep up with the constantly evolving tactics developed by criminals, industrial spies and hostile nations. However, when companies shift their focus from perimeter defenses and put their efforts into protecting data itself, they position themselves for long-term security. Is your organization ready for a transformation? In this session, Joe Sturonas will show why accepting defeat in the fight for network protection is the first step in winning the long-term battle for information security.
9:00am - 9:50am Executive Boardroom

For years, primary threat prevention was based on signatures, assuming all types of cyberattacks had been seen before. Today, malware mutates daily, even hourly, making signature-based prevention tools obsolete. To meet these new challenges, organizations are now turning to innovations in artificial intelligence to help identify and block unknown threats. Are you ready to take your program to the next level? During this peer discussion, discover what advances are up and coming. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore effective strategies that can help integrate AI into your daily security processes.

There’s an app for everything these days. And a cloud service behind the scenes. From approving expenses in the grocery store line to looking up key customer information in the field, employees are more productive than ever in today’s mobile-cloud world. Yet it also means there’s data everywhere – on devices, in transit and in the cloud. CISOs face the challenge of crafting a security strategy that protects this data no matter where the data is. This discussion will explore how organizations are using mobile-cloud apps throughout the business, risks created through mobile-cloud technologies and best practices for keeping related data secure.

How do you scale security in the cloud without compromise? As organizations go into a majority cloud environment, priorities shift – often at the expense of increased risk to an ever-changing environment where employees expect “instant gratification” and access to data anywhere, anytime. Join this peer dialogue to discuss how the definition of endpoint transforms when you’re working in a virtual environment – and how behavioral threat detection can stop emerging threats in the expanding digital world.

Technology can make things better, faster and more efficient. But it also creates new areas of risk. The Internet of Things, with its Smart TVs, connected refrigerators and light bulbs, is pretty cool. But is it cyber secure? And what happens when people start bringing those mobile IoT devices into the workplace? How can we control a brand new set of endpoints, especially when those endpoints may be connecting with various systems in our organizations without our knowledge? Join your peers as they discuss best practices and strategies for keeping things safe in an IoT world.
