Philadelphia CISO Executive Summit

Every business is transforming. In an effort to “move the needle” in the right direction, collaboration across all levels of business is essential. Before taking your next strategic move, Noopur Davis has a message for security leaders: focus on the fundamentals first. Davis shares her strategy for creating and maintaining a sound security program – from infrastructure to culture – so that the next generation initiatives are on a solid foundation.

Hear Noopur’s perspective on:

• Evaluating and ensuring your security program can keep pace with organization transformation and global threats
• Focusing on privacy, staffing and culture – the core pillars of future success
• What to fine tune before implementing AI & ML

• How do you present a business case if there is no ROI (there typically is not)?
• What role do frameworks and maturity models play in establishing risk appetite and a need for investment?
• How do you prevent alienating yourself by surprising executive leadership at a board meeting?

Many industries have a regulatory and compliance entity they must comply with, but what if it goes one step further? What happens when cybersecurity becomes audit-able, measurable, and scored? This may not be too far off.

Join the conversation to discuss:

• The auditing process and possibility of public familiarity
• How the defense industry is leading (or taking) the charge head-on
• Being scored and ranked as an organization based on your security program

Digital transformation has dramatically transformed the enterprise risk surface, automating a vast array of processes while outsourcing a vast array of systems and services. Through this frenetic reshaping, few organizations truly understand the nature of their new risk reality and how to successfully manage it.

• Explore the true nature of the enterprise cyber risk surface
• Discuss threats and regulations driving organizations to better manage their extended enterprise
• Share insights on how to better manage third-party risk (hint: good data!)
