Denver CISO Executive Summit

Governing Body members host this dinner to launch the event with an evening of peer networking.

 Join the Governing Body for a lunch and interactive networking.

For years, we’ve seen attackers target organizations via their people. Now with fewer reliable exploits and more cloud adoption, we’re also seeing a shift toward attacks that exploit people, with threat actors tricking their targets into running their malware for them, handing over their credentials, or simply sending data or money to an impostor. Lucia Milica of Proofpoint will outline strategies for gaining visibility and mitigating risk in a people-centric threat landscape.

Join to learn:

• Why nearly all threat actors have shifted away from technical exploits to compromise their targets
• How organizations can leverage threat data to understand which people and departments are highly targeted
• How to design effective protection for highly attacked, highly vulnerable, and highly privileged users

Since the rollout of GDPR, many countries and U.S. states have been developing their own legislation with similar requirements and fines for organizations that fail to meet them. Join this peer-to-peer discussion for an update on how to maintain compliance with recent legislations and what a U.S. federal privacy law could look like.

In this session you will discuss:

• The imperative to create trust with the customer about their data
• Ways to change key company values in regards to data
• How to determine which compliance frameworks to adopt

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 C-level executives). To reserve your seat, please contact Jacob Higdon at jacob.higdon@evanta.com or 503-972-4442.

Is your organization prepared to handle the additional threat exposure that comes from expanding business networks? Hear from Marc Moesse as he shares how to determine where you stand on third party risk maturity and next steps in increasing your third-party cyber resiliency.

This session will explore:

• Finding the right balance between depth and breadth of your third-party risk program
• Leveraging all the organization's resources for adoption
• Methods to manage your fourth party risk

As intuitive human beings we often somehow sense when things aren’t quite right. When a newborn is “too quiet,” a sixth-sense can be more reliable than a baby monitor. What applies to life also applies to cybersecurity. Machine learning and artificial intelligence can weed out some of the threats, but they won't catch everything. Find out why trusting your gut – knowing when to say something when you see something – is a key part of any organization's phishing defense. 

In this boardroom discussion:

• Discover security trends, threat-actor tactics and defense strategies across the global financial sector
• Learn the types of phishing attacks seen in the financial sector
• See how attackers evolve their tactics to avoid perimeter controls
