New York CISO Executive Summit

Today’s CISOs face daunting challenges. It is a balance between fighting off increasingly sophisticated attacks, managing scarce resources, and working with stakeholders that often don't understand the inevitability of a breach. Since there continues to be a knowledge gap about the criticality of the CISO’s role, it is no surprise that they’re experiencing stress and burnout at unprecedented rates. How can CISOs make their careers sustainable and maintain a sense of well-being?

Join this keynote to explore:

• How to recognize the signs and symptoms of toxic stress and burnout
• How to remain engaged, energized, and focused during turbulent times
• Methods to reduce stress at work and how to not let the stress overlap into personal lives

Please check back soon for more details about this session or contact the program manager below with any questions.

Artificial Intelligence seems to be a pervasive part of our lives today, from the delivery of highly targeted advertising to the introduction of sophisticated chatbots. Ransomware attacks increased over 150% in 2020 while the average breach life cycle now exceeds 300 days to detect and resolve a security incident. While machine learning is becoming one of the most important time-saving tools for the defenders in cybersecurity, so too have adversaries learned to harness the speed and power of machines to strengthen their capabilities.

Join this session to discuss:

• Where does this trend leave the hands-on practitioner
• At what point does the velocity of innovation outpace the capabilities of human intellect
• Will robots ever replace us in the effective practice of securing our digital world

Automation is the obvious solution to avoid overtaxing our security teams, but is it enough? How can CISOs inspire out-of-the-box thinking while designing security strategies that will enhance visibility into their systems?

Come together to discuss:

• Techniques to track asset inventory, including both managed and unmanaged devices
• How passive security can increase bandwidth
• Where to identify gaps and vulnerabilities within the enterprise

Executive boardrooms are intimate and interactive sessions designed to foster dynamic dialogue around a specific, strategic topic.

In today’s business environment, organizations are held responsible for the actions of their suppliers, vendors and partners, in addition to their own internal activities. Knowledge and understanding of supplier and third-party risk is of the utmost importance to CISOs and the teams they support. Organizations must know their business well enough to understand where risks may materialize and employ processes to detect and react to their evolving risk from third parties.

Join this session to discuss:

• How to create an accurate inventory of all vendors within your ecosystem
• Strategies to establish a process for continuous assessment and monitoring of third parties
• What to do when your third party gets breached

In the current global climate, there is higher public awareness around the institutional uses of personal data. Therefore, organizations continue to be challenged with implementing data governance and privacy requirements across their growing data ecosystems. How are you adjusting to the necessary changes in how data assets are handled? Are you ready for the next wave of regulations that are waiting on the horizon?

Join this session and explore:

• How to interpret the implications of regulatory requirements
• Practical tips and lessons to manage privacy risk
• How privacy risk management fits into your organization’s overall security strategy

Over the past year, we partnered with more than 100 organizations to defeat ransomware attacks. Ransomware attacks have evolved, but if you identify the threat early-on, technologies already in place can be used to eliminate it with no need for additional spend. Join our session to find out what strategies worked for these CISOs, and how you can build on their experience to secure your network.

We’ll be sharing insights from 100+ ransomware cases to learn:

• The recurring themes and key vulnerabilities from the past year’s cyber attacks
• How organizations can achieve ransomware readiness
• How to enhance resilience without investing in additional, often redundant products

When it comes to explaining risk to the business, are you able to effectively communicate your message? Is it possible to find a common language that everyone can understand? If you want to stay ahead of cyberattacks, you need to help everyone see where the weaknesses are so that you will be ready to respond, remediate and move forward.

During this boardroom conversation you will:

• Learn effective strategies for defining the impact of risk
• Discuss how organizations measure risk by using metrics that make a difference
• Review how you can convey risk probabilities in order to drive secure actions and solutions

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 explore:

• 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
