Southern California CISO Executive Summit

John K. Coyle is the founder and CEO of "Art of Really Living" and one of the world's leading experts in innovation and design thinking. Through the metaphor of sport, learn how individuals and teams can use innovation approaches to identify and leverage their unique strengths (and design around weaknesses). Become empowered to solve old problems in new ways and achieve breakthrough results. Understand how to apply the “Design Thinking” process to business and personal challenges. 

This will empower you to:

• Achieve breakthrough performance by focusing on what you do best
• Decide what to delegate, quit or outsource, and plan to maximize team resources
• Create higher engagement and more effective collaboration with customers and colleagues

A CISO’s world is complex, challenging and at times exhausting. Between managing vulnerabilities, implementing new solutions, and navigating governance and company-wide risk assessments, it’s no wonder CISOs see the highest numbers of stress and burnout across the C-Suite. Taking care of yourself and modelling healthy behavior to your staff is key in supporting your team, retaining great talent, and building a more resilient organization.

Join this session to discuss:

• How to model the work/life balance you want to see on your team
• Ways to build your employee wellbeing strategy
• Why trust and openness with your team is key to their mental health

 The cyber threat landscape is unpredictable and features security concerns that must be shared across all levels of the organization. Understanding the significance of recent events gives visibility into the shifting dynamics of adversary tactics, which is critical for staying ahead of and ultimately defeating today’s threats. As security teams assess the evolving threat landscape, what changes are actually required, and what can be done about it?
 
Join this session to discuss:

• What security teams need to know - and do - in an increasingly ominous threat landscape
• How to implement the right combination of security tools to stop an adversary with speed
• Effective security strategies and practical recommendations to stay ahead of next-level threats

An organization's ability to achieve successful digital transformation is in large part enabled by the security team. Distributed, loosely connected infrastructure and tools, coupled with the demand for almost any-to-any connectivity, complicates the mission. Regularly defined as being delivered by a single "silver bullet" point solution, the term zero trust is now often held in poor regard. It is however, a highly effective conceptual framework, and perhaps even a cultural shift, that many organizations have been working with for several years.

Join this interactive boardroom to discuss:

• The broader definition of what a zero trust framework is
• The foundational control required to build a zero trust program
• Strategies for improving the user experience and proving value to get organization-wide acceptance

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).

Your people are your most valuable asset, your greatest weakness, and your best defense. CISOs seeking to prevent data loss from malicious, negligent or compromised users can correlate content, behavior and threats for better insight and streamlined investigations.

Join this session to discuss:

• Augmenting your data protection program with the right people and processes
• Transforming your employees into effective data defenders
• Managing insider threats and preventing data loss at the endpoint

The sheer scale and complexity of cyber-threats has meant the challenge of securing your business has gone beyond a human-scalable problem. Security teams are inundated with alerts, while simultaneously trying to monitor data and activity spread across disparate environments and respond to attacks in real time. To rise to this challenge, the next phase of security must be automated.

During this peer-discussion you will explore:

•        Why mounting incidents across organizations is leading to alert fatigue 

•        How to trust the efficacy of autonomous response capabilities to stop in-progress attacks

 •        How automation can help to build cyber resilience and more effectively allocate resources

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Evanta’s Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

In the last year, cyber-attack sophistication blindsided some of the world’s biggest companies. The severity of financial loss was profound. Because of this, Cybersecurity insurance is continuously evolving. Part of your ransomware tool kit should include cybersecurity insurance. Many CISO’s think they know their cyber security policy, but do they really?  Bad actors are upping the ante and so must you.

Join this session to discuss:

• The current state of the cyber insurance market given increased frequency/severity of cyber events 
• Level of engagement needed from CISO’s to drive strong renewal results
• What value is really afforded to organizations who carry cyber insurance

Building trust and reliance across technology and security teams is key to defending the enterprise.  As security stacks incorporate Security Service Edge (SSE) to sustain the SASE journey, the partnership between CIOs, CISOs, and their teams is more important than ever.
Join this session to learn about:

• Best practices for IT and security collaboration
• Communicating the importance of SSE to your CEO and Board
• Improving internal stakeholder relationships to fuel business outcomes

Despite their efforts, from phishing simulations to security awareness campaigns, CISOs from organizations big and small keep falling short when it comes to stopping Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks. But, if everyone has an email security program, why are the losses associated with BEC still climbing?

Join this session to discuss:
•What is working, or not working, with existing processes and technology?
•How do we solve the “human factor” in the equation?
•Best practices for preventing loss related to a BEC attack?

Staying ahead of the countless, persistent and often well-funded threat actors is a daunting task. A fast-moving security program can mean the difference between preventing a breach or becoming the next headline, but knowing where and how to prioritize efforts and resources can be just as challenging. What are CISOs doing to ensure their threat intelligence programs are on the right track for 2022 and beyond?

Join this peer roundtable to discuss:

•The latest threat landscape, including emerging threats and the most prevalent techniques

•Best practices for detecting, mitigating and simulating attacks

•How to test and validate defenses against common adversary behaviors
