As technology continues to be the primary driver of business capability, CIOs have stopped being looked to as simply providers of internal technical support. IT executives must modernize the enterprise to move to value-based, iterative approaches to technology implementation and utilization while also driving cultural change. This session explores:

  • Enterprise platform strategy vs. siloed, single-purpose technology stack
  • How do CIOs align IT investments to business top priorities?
  • How does IT make smarter decisions with real-time analytics across the entire IT value chain?

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 executives). To reserve your seat, please contact John Seabury at 971-222-2369 or John.Seabury@evanta.com.

As the number of connected devices continues to increase, so does the number of potential vulnerabilities. By 2020, there will be 20 billion connected devices, all of which could create security blind spots. How can organizations expand their security measures to protect this ever-expanding attack surface? In this keynote, we will discuss a security posture baseline through the lens of a holistic relationship amongst technology, people and processes. 

Loren Roberts draws on real-world examples to demonstrate how to:

  • Identify and defend against the next wave of hackers
  • Develop a roadmap to plan, manage and maintain control of your data
  • Identify existing gaps in endpoint security

Rethinking the IT Ops and Security Divide in Asset Management

Greg Toto headshot

VP, Product

Expanse

IT operations teams continue to be responsible for maintaining asset lists — but your security organization is also using these lists to determine what should be secured and monitored, and the digital and ephemeral entities on which the business relies often aren’t considered assets.

In this session, we'll explore ways you can:

  • Get your security and IT ops teams on the same page
  • Use new technologies to discover and track Internet-facing inventory
  • Deliver a meaningful reduction in your attack surface
