Italy CIO Executive Summit

Third party relationships are closest and may prove to be the most tangible risks to your business, yet the whole supply chain of your business partners still pose a substantial threat. Most organizations’ vendor relationship extend to the 8th party. Security leaders need to understand this web of connectedness in order to better manage and communicate enterprise risk.

Join this session to discuss:

• Gaining visibility into risk across the whole supply chain
• Strategies for effective risk management and monitoring business partners
• Third party risk considerations for NIS2 adoption and compliance

Cyberattackers are increasingly leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) to execute more advanced and sophisticated attacks, amplifying the scale and impact of the threat. As a result, the perception among many organisations is that the scales are tipping in favour of the attackers. To change this perception, CIOs must adopt a proactive AI-drive defence strategy. To meet this moment, how can CIOs cut down on complexities within AI-driven platforms and gain visibility and control across security systems to better protect the enterprise? Join this session to discuss:

• The strategies CIOs are deploying to combat the evolving threat landscape
• Defending in the AI era through mixing conventional and new approaches
• Leveraging AI to empower your defence teams and scale up security across the organisation

Join this boardroom to discuss how to:

• Implement robust data governance frameworks to ensure consistency and accuracy across datasets
• Leverage data integration tools to blend structured and unstructured data
• Foster a culture of data quality improvement to enhance organisational data maturity
