It's not easy to be a cybersecurity professional. The pressure to be right each and every time is incredible. After all, cyber criminals only need to be right once to gain access to your systems, compromising your data and assets. No one likes to fail – especially when it comes to keeping organizations secure. But experiencing failure can actually be positive – leading to increased knowledge, enhanced skills and stronger defenses. Join Billy Spears on his inspirational journey to success, where he will share:
- How you can effectively raise security awareness in your organization
- Strategies that can shift security priorities so the right issues receive the attention that they need
- How to bring the CISO role closer to the business to better align security with company objectives

Timothy Lee
CISO
City of Los Angeles
Ted Ross
CIO
City of Los Angeles
The City of Los Angeles was ranked the No. 1 Digital City in the U.S. for the last two years, and for good reason. Projects include: new digital forms of customer engagement – chatbots and virtual assistants, including “Chip” (City Hall Internet Personality), a personal digital assistant that answers citizens questions through the city’s website; technologies that optimize internal operations (computer vision for street cleanliness); and emerging tech that transforms public services (earthquake early warning and fire-spotting sensors). The city’s CIO and CISO share:
- How the city has challenged developers to think differently about approaches to communication
- Stats and data proving why this “smart city” is making an impact, and how it is applicable to enterprise businesses
- What the city is doing to keep all of its digital efforts secure
