It’s a challenging time for all organizations, but the most important thing for companies to do right now is to take care of their employees. How are you keeping your team productive and innovative during these changing times?

In this panel discussion, your peers will discuss:

• Platforms that allow for greater remote communication
• Challenges or successes that have come from a new team dynamic
• Ways to foster employee engagement

Today’s workforce must be productive, connected, and secure no matter where they sit or what device they use. With this increase in employee flexibility, comes increased enterprise security concerns as companies reach the limits of legacy castle-and-moat security architectures. Technology leadership means using IT to create a better user experience. CIOs and CISOs must work together to provide a secure user experience that protects company assets.

Join this interactive session to discuss:

• Modernizing your network to reduce the technical and financial costs of internet-bound traffic
• Strengthening security posture by implementing frictionless processes, regardless of user location
• Getting granular visibility into user access activity

Smart organizations are infusing the intelligence of AI and the agility of hybrid cloud to better predict and shape future outcomes and automate decisions and processes. As a result, organizations can empower people to do higher value work and hyper-personalize digital experiences. However, only 2 of 10 firms have scaled AI solutions.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Preventing project stall due to data complexity, talent scarcity, and a lack of trust in AI systems
• Scaling AI across the organization with the right approach and architecture
• Leveraging AI technologies and data science tools to proactively optimize workflows and experiences

How are your peers balancing business agility and business security in their identity and access management strategy? Discover how you can benchmark your framework, and learn the most innovative tactics security leaders are using for IAM in their organizations without interrupting core business operations.

In this session, you'll learn more about:

• Standardizing and automating IAM across an enterprise
• Methodologies that satisfy users while maintaining adequate access controls in cloud and legacy environments
• Roadmaps for deciding what tools will fit best

Added to the list of bona fides for today’s information security leader is a multilingual mandate for speaking the languages of risk. Business risk, legal risk and more all intertwine with an effective security strategy, yet the owners of each area don’t always see eye to eye. Where business units aren’t looking at risk the same way, an opportunity opens for malicious actors.

Join this session to discuss:

• Successful examples of cross-functional partnerships in risk management
• Metrics that effectively describe risk within, and outside of, security
• Tips for leveraging risk discussions to gain support for security

In this session, CIOs and CISOs will discuss:
