Data visualization is merely the window to your big data, predictive analytics, machine learning or artificial intelligence efforts. Whether you see a clear picture or confusing / misleading graphs largely depends on the data foundation you built, not just visuals.

  • What does it take to visualize data in a way that is actionable
  • What worked or didn’t in your organization
  • Discuss best practices and lessons learned

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).

Among the keys to a successful execution are gaining executive buy-in and creating an atmosphere that supports adoption of the new environment.

In this session, Eddie Alicea shares details of his multi-year journey to a digital workplace, including how he:

Convergence of Security Across Platforms, Disciplines and Architectures

Joan Ross headshot

Joan Ross

Field CISO

Fortinet, Inc.

The security infrastructure that organizations buy and maintain often becomes fragmented over time, thanks to new products deployed to address technological changes and expansions. But adding various security products to secure each new attack surface results in less visibility, a lack of control by the CISO and a reactive-versus-proactive security response.

In this session, join your peers to learn how to: 

  • Defend against blended attacks between cyber and physical and across IT and OT platforms.
  • Create visibility of all security elements and the communications these systems and devices generate
  • Automate operations and responses.
  • Take a holistic architectural approach to network, data and even physical security.

  • The benefits of an agile security team mindset
  • How CIOs and CISOs should think about agile development

Chief Technology Officer, HP Federal

HP Inc. Print Security Solutions

As the number of connected devices continues to increase, so does the number of potential vulnerabilities. By 2020, there will be 2.8 billion connected devices, all of which could create security blind spots for organizations. How can security professionals expand their security measures to protect this ever-expanding attack surface?

In this session, Tommy Gardner draws on real-world examples to teach CISOs how to:

  • Use data analytics and a proven framework to secure endpoint devices.
  • Understand and defend against the next wave of hackers.
  • Identify existing gaps in endpoint security.

Export-Import Bank

It’s not news that today’s CISOs and CIOs are expected to be business leaders within their organizations, but that doesn’t mean the responsibility comes easy. Communication can distinguish a good CISO or CIO from a great one, yet many lack the skills to speak the language of the rest of the c-suite.

 In this session, Howard Spira shares insight on:

  • What metrics and content will help you craft a compelling story to inspire action from your c-suite.
  • A well-rounded communication plan that extends beyond the board.
  • How to better understand the individuals you work with, so you can tailor your pitch.
