Executive Summit

As organizations strive to modernize their authentication strategies, the shift toward passwordless identity is a critical focus area. And while moving beyond passwords is an important step to making it more difficult for threat actors to compromise identities, CISOs recognize that most organizations are deeper challenges around user behaviors that must be addressed before they can move forward to true transformation.

Join this roundtable session for an engaging peer conversation around:

• Building a compelling business case to gain buy-in and budget
• Lessons learned from peers you can use to inform every step of your journey
• Cultural shifts required to support secure adoption of passwordless authentication when you get there

While cyber threats may not dominate headline news like they used to, executive leadership teams and boards are increasingly eager to stay informed about the latest incidents and risks. But, CISOs simply don't have time to prepare briefs on EVERY incident that may come across their leadership's feeds. How do security leaders strike the right balance between delivering the "just-right" level of information that won't overwhelm leadership or consume excessive time and resources?

Join this roundtable session for an engaging peer conversation around:

• Strategies for filtering and prioritizing alerts and news to keep leadership and the board engaged
• Communicating complex risks in a digestible way and setting expectations for a manageable amount of ongoing education 
• What CISOs should be including—or not including—to ensure incident briefings are meaningful for boards and executives

While most CISOs WANT to be viewed as versatile leaders who can thread the needle between being technical experts and strategic advisors, have the expectations for what should fall under a CISO's purview grown unrealistic? The value a CISO can deliver is far beyond the simple utility of a Swiss-army knife; and letting yourself become the default solution for every risk-related concern will only lead to more burnout and blurred lines. 

Join this roundtable session for an engaging peer conversation around:

• Navigating the pressure to be “everything to everyone” when it comes to risk management
• Right-sizing expectations for you and your team and advocating for resources, support and realistic goals 
• Building effective partnerships across IT, legal, compliance and other business units to place risk ownership where it rightfully belongs
