Keynote Presentation
The Next Phase of Cybersecurity
Today's digital technologies quickly become commodities, and adoption of emerging technologies provides only temporary edge and differentiation. To stay ahead, you must think bigger and take bigger risks. Do not make the technologies themselves the focal point, but the profound business transformations they make feasible. While these transformations offer organizations great benefits, they also offer extreme risks that must be accounted and planned for.
Takeaways:
- Get a leg up on next gen technologies
- High risk can yield high reward
- Focusing less on products and more on company alignment to them
10:00 am - 10:30 am

Think Tank
Creating the Acceptable Risk Playbook
Boards and Executives often say that they have a zero-tolerance for cyber risk, but how many CISOs actually have the budget to make that a reality? Be the calm, balanced voice that helps the business address security risks "well enough" by staying within their true risk appetite. Help the business be comfortable with accepting risks so that they can pursue revenue.
Think Tank
The Elephant in the Room, Data Breaches
In 2019, data breaches endured yet again as the largest security threat noted by organizations and IT security professionals alike. If data remains as a high valued commodity, ensuring data privacy and securing personal data will continue to be at the top of the list of an organization's concerns. The increases in privacy legislation, such as GDPR and CCPA, and the understanding of the ramifications stemming from a breach have allowed these concerns to remain heavily in the spotlight. Web application flaws have been identified as the top cause of data breaches. As such, establishing and maintaining web application security has developed into a high priority for all organizations.
Takeaways:
- Data breaches are the biggest security concern
- Data continues to be a high value asset but the need to protect it is even higher
- New laws like GDPR and CCPA enforce consequences for failing to secure data
10:50 am - 11:10 am
Thought Leadership
Navigating M&A
Augmented Analytics focus on specific areas of augmented intelligence, using machine learning to enhance how data and analytics are presented and shared. As the capabilities of this technology advance rapidly, it is pivotal to understand these advancements.
Takeaways:
- Process is consistent but inconsistent
- Plan the detail but be flexible and nimble
- Embrace the change
11:10 am - 11:30 am
Executive Boardroom 
Automating Cybersecurity
IT security professionals all face one major issue: being asked to do more, with less resources. Automation and integration are a necessity in order to meet the demands of an organization's security needs. Managing risk without diminishing the speed and quality of development is achievable by integrating security into agile processes, like DevOps or CI/CD. Since most security teams are understaffed, automated solutions are becoming a requirement, rather than an option to properly manage the ever-increasing workload.
Takeaways:
- Automation is required to meet today's security demand
- DevOps can operate more efficiently with CI/CD
- IT security staff are responsible for more than ever
Executive Boardroom
Becoming More Decentralized
Today, increased centralization has put the power and trust into the hands of the few big players. This, of course, raises many security concerns. The risk of disruptions and undesirable outcomes increases as centralization opens the door to exclusive possession or control of commodities and services. As a result, technologies like Blockchain implemented to create decentralized alternatives as they move computing resources away from centralized servers.
Takeaways:
- Evaluating the risks of centralization on availability, confidentiality and resiliency
- Exploring decentralized technologies like Blockchain and edge computing that offer visibility as well as enhanced security for your organization
- Understand the fact or fictionalization of developing AI strategies and the cause for concern for decentralized AI models

Takeaways:
- Learn the impact a guidance model can have
- Learn what guidance looks like.
- Learn some approaches you can take to provide guidance.
2:45 pm - 3:05 pm
Think Tank
IoT Devices and the "challenges" that come with them
Hard-coded credentials, insecure wireless communication, unencrypted personal data, unverified firmware updates, vulnerable web interfaces รข?" the list goes on. Every organization is in a race to be the first to deliver new products and technologies. Unfortunately, to properly secure this is never the first thought. It's not shocking that the flourishing IoT space has generated an abundance of security issues. Compromised IoT devices can allow access to data, be used as points of entry for future attacks, or act as DDoS attack drones. Home automation products and wearables open the door for personally identifiable information and other valuable data to be stolen.
Takeaways:
- IoT devices are vulnerable to hackers
- Data security is often an afterthought for IoT makers
- Home automation products open the door for personal information to get stolen
Think Tank
AI: Friend or Foe?
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are introducing new technologies to a wide array of products across every industry, especially cybersecurity. Facial recognition and natural language processing have become a reality thanks to deep learning algorithms, however, there is a dark side to these advancements. Cybercriminals have managed to weaponize AI to create extremely intricate malware and attack methods. This has forced organizations to use advanced heuristic solutions rather than counting on known vulnerability and attack signatures.
Takeaways:
- Artificial Intelligence products are already being deployed in many industries
- Features like facial recognition and chat bots are common examples
- Cybercriminals can weaponize this technology without proper security measures
3:05 pm - 3:25 pm
Think Tank
Going Mobile, Securely
The average employee uses at least 3 different mobile devices to access business data. This number has risen and so has the amount of company data that is being stored on each device. Each device represents another endpoint that needs to be secured. While mobile malware threats are low, it's expected that there will be a rise in data breaches directly related to mobile devices. Providing access to company data via a secure web application infrastructure with real-time vulnerability management is one way of reducing risk with mobile devices.
Takeaways:
- Mobile devices are generally considered safe means to access business data
- Employees use an average of three mobile devices, each is its own security challenge
- Data breaches through mobile devices are expected to increase
Think Tank
Security in the Crosshairs - The Future Comes into Focus
All organizations, regardless of size, are continuously evolving through modern technologies. Having an incident response plan and an effective cybersecurity strategy is not a luxury, but rather a requirement. Finally, security training for employees to improve their awareness is becoming the rule instead of the exception. Security is now establishing a permanent footprint within the software development lifecycle, with SecDevOps/DevSecOps processes to incorporate security at all layers of development.
Takeaways:
- Any organization can fall victim to a data breach
- Having a plan of action is essential to business survival
- Security has become a part of the conversation at nearly every level of an organization
