Southern California CISO Executive Summit

As intuitive human beings we often somehow sense when things aren’t quite right. When a newborn is “too quiet,” a sixth-sense can be more reliable than a baby monitor. What applies to life also applies to cybersecurity. Machine learning and artificial intelligence can weed out some of the threats, but they won't catch everything. Find out why trusting your gut – knowing when to say something when you see something – is a key part of any organization's phishing defense. In this session:

• Discover security trends, threat-actor tactics and defense strategies across the global financial sector
• Learn the types of phishing attacks seen in the financial sector
• See how attackers evolve their tactics to avoid perimeter controls

In a world where attracting, hiring and retaining talent is the most significant challenge that security professionals face – we must leave no stone unturned when it comes to staffing our critical information security positions. Don’t miss this opportunity to take diversity and cybersecurity down to its core in an honest, constructive manner. Learn more about:

• The benefits of diversity and inclusion in your organization
• Talent retention strategies and techniques
• Your identity and brand as a company
• How to build the next generation of security professionals

Until now, the information security industry has failed to deliver business empowering security solutions, which enable organizations to quickly and securely transform digitally. Security today is too complicated and draws from a 20-year-old playbook. It needs to be re-written and based on approaches that protect and empower the business. In this session, we will:

• Share how many of the Fortune 100 are redefining their cloud, network and data security programs
• Discuss the steps and architectures that are the key to transformation
• Reimagine your approach to enterprise security, building a new blueprint that can be used for years to come

As a security executive, you know how many disparate pieces of information can together leave you vulnerable to hackers. Framed photos. Letters from family. Personal documents tucked away in a drawer. For 50 minutes, you’ll try on the black hat, assuming the role of a hacker trying to access an organization’s most sensitive data.

The catch—you only have 40 minutes to gather all the correct intel to gain access to the data, and you’re limited to the clues around the room.

In this session, be prepared to:

• Hack a Facebook account using information left behind on employees’ desks
• Identify which sensitive documents commonly found on employees’ desks can be used to access important accounts
• Learn a new way to gamify insider threat training
  
  

*Please note: This interactive session is limited to 10 attendees.

In April 2019, the Department of Homeland Security issued an alert citing "New Exploits for Unsecure SAP Systems" after new exploits, termed "10KBLAZE" were publicly released.

In this session, we will explore:

• Why and how ERP applications are actively under attack
• How cloud, mobile and digital transformations are expanding the attack surface
• Steps you can take to ensure cyber resiliency and mitigate risk
