Washington, DC CIO Virtual Executive Summit

No matter their geographical location or industry, CIOs & CISOs face common obstacles - navigating a limited talent pool and building a workforce that can continue to push their organization’s digital initiatives forward. In this environment, how are you thinking about upskilling your people and creating the right succession plan for future leaders to match your business' vision?

In this keynote, listen to a panel of leaders as they discuss:

• Determining what skills their organizations need to thrive
• Upskilling the right talent for accelerating IT transformation
• Developing existing talent for leadership succession planning 

Gallup reports that 70% of all change initiatives are unsuccessful. Why do some organizations succeed at delivering change while others don’t? Quite simply, their leaders put people before things. Using concepts from his best-selling book, Chris takes his audience on a journey to help them visualize how they can become CHANGE leaders. Intended for any executive, middle manager or grassroots influencer, this is an inspirational message for all levels of leadership!

What would it mean for the world of business if an organization could fully and effortlessly manage the access of its users? Every enterprise requires safeguards to ensure that the right people are accessing the right systems and information, and finding that balance between agility and security is a unique challenge for any CISO. After so many years spent tackling this issue, has a new way forward revealed itself?

Join this session to discuss:

• Prudent approaches to right-size the balance of security controls and agile access
• Ways your peers discuss strategy for trust and access with other senior leaders
• New technologies that are improving the world of IAM

In 2020, the multi-decade process of turning the digital enterprise inside out accelerated instantly. The inflection point has now passed – most cyber assets live outside the old “walls'' of the organization and cybersecurity controls must be scalable, flexible and reliable.

Join this boardroom to discuss:

• Redesigning cybersecurity architecture to enable the work-from-anywhere culture
• How business transformation is forcing security to think differently about architecting their environment
• Reconceptualizing traditional ideas of how to approach security within the enterprise and shifting the business mindset

Many third-party risks are identified after initial onboarding and due diligence, suggesting traditional methods in risk management policy fail to capture new and evolving risks. As these external partnerships become increasingly complex, the need for a new vendor risk management approach is clear.

Join this conversation to discuss:

• How to establish business-driven methods for ongoing risk management analysis
• Ways to partner across the C-Suite to establish organizational buy-in
• Strategies to employ an iterative approach to ongoing relationship management

Don't miss this opportunity to meet with CIO & CISO practitioners and industry thought leaders who shared their insights on the agenda. Come with questions and get ready to meet new friends in this casual session designed to foster peer connections and collaboration in the Washington, DC community.

Organizations are feeling a shift in the world of networking and security as they rapidly adopt and embrace the cloud. Enterprises need efficiency, visibility and security without compromise. The secure access service edge, better known as SASE, and zero trust implementations can provide a more comprehensive security capability to truly support digital transformation.

In this session, you will discuss:

• Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise
• Benefits of planning both SASE and zero trust implementations
• How to best position your organization for this transition
