Southern California CISO Executive Summit

The professional journey of a CISO is a lot like the cyber threats they protect against – unique and often unpredictable. How can CISOs set themselves up for success as the role continues to change?

In this panel conversation CISOs will explore:

• Lessons they have learned that can guide security leaders 
• Strategies to elevate yourself within the business
• What is next after being a CISO

Data is the primary target in virtually every breach scenario – and protecting data gets harder every day. Mix overly provisioned access rights with a plethora or unknown risks, it is no wonder why data stores are so difficult to control and so susceptible to attack. How can CISOs approach a problem that is so big and complex?

Join this session and discuss:

• Strategies to map and govern data
• How to gain visibility into high risk areas
• Ways to stay ahead of the compliance curve

“Just log into our dedicated console for all information you need.” This phrase sends a chill down the spine any security manager. As network and security become more entangled, the proliferation of tools and interfaces CISOs need to monitor has rapidly increased. Security starts with a clear plan, accurate inventory, proven identity, and meaningful reporting.

In this session explore:

• How to increase the level of security function and scale
• The importance of open-standards in your SOC
• Strategies to gain visibility into the network

Since cybercriminals never rest, a sound SOC - staffed by the right people using the right tools in the right way - should be a key part of your cyber defense strategy. Whether your security operations program is completely in-house, outsourced, or operating in a hybrid model you’ll want to measure its effectiveness. How do you think about measuring efficacy and how do these metrics feedback into your program to increase operational maturity over time?

In this session you will discuss:

• Volume and trend metrics that speak to effectiveness; what does good look like?
• How does automation come into play and how do you monitor what the robots are doing?
• What impact does this have on hiring and ongoing job satisfaction?

Organizations are feeling a shift in the world of networking and security as they rapidly adopt and embrace the cloud. Enterprises need efficiency, visibility and security without compromise. The secure access service edge, better known as SASE, and zero trust implementations can provide a more comprehensive security capability to truly support digital transformation.

In this session, you will discuss:

• Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise
• Benefits of planning both SASE and zero trust implementations
• How to best position your organization for this transition

As a CISO, your security awareness program has a big impact on how your organization views the information security team, so it is important to ensure you’re putting the right foot forward. 

In this session you will explore:

• How to lead with the carrot rather than the stick
• Innovative communication methods to get the message across
• Strategies to collaborate across the business

Although most organizations do an exceptional job of layering different technologies to secure their data, breaches continue to occur. So what's going wrong and how can you identify these blindspots? In many instances, the point of failure can be tracked to the user and their endpoint. In today’s changing landscape, CISOs must demand a tight hold on the endpoints.

In this session, you can learn about:

• What are the major endpoint management capabilities you can implement
• How you can combat the complex challenges of managing workloads in the new era
• Ways you can continuously monitor endpoint metrics and manage system health

Vulnerabilities can be found anywhere in an organization. Having a risk-based and prioritized approach to managing and mitigating those vulnerabilities is critical to maintain a strong security posture.

Join this session to discuss:

• Which vulnerabilities are the riskiest
• Strategies to identify vulnerabilities before they’re exploited
• How to use ML to make informed decisions on risk

Security leaders across the globe are asking themselves that question as ransomware grows increasingly prevalent and as attackers continue to raise their demands. It may seem difficult to prioritize building your recovery plan when you could spend that time on increasing defensive measures, but recovering from ransomware is not a process you want to wing.

Join this session to discuss:

• Step-by-step guidance for navigating ransomware response protocols.
• Key pitfalls most organizations make when attempting a ransomware recovery and how to avoid them.
• How to build a foundation for developing a thorough, practical, and well-documented plan of action
