agenda

Edward Wagoner, Executive Director & Chief Information Officer (Digital) of JLL joins us for a keynote presentation as we look at the technology professional in the new era of transformation.

Edward will take us through how you build an IT and tech division from the ground up while restructuring IT from a foundational standpoint with various business technologies. Do you build, buy, or partner to push your department and company forward?

The CIO and IT leaders have moved from the back office to the front office where IT used to be a "nice to have" and now is a "must have". Join this session to learn how you can move to become a transformational leader at your organization.

Technology and transformation have always gone hand-in-hand, but the pace of transformational change accelerated over the last 2 years in every organization. IBM's VP of Marketing, Amy Swotinsky, will get our creative juices flowing as she shares stories and best practices sourced from thousands of IBM digital transformation engagements with the “new creators” - the change agents and forward thinkers in every organization - including yours.  She’ll cover a wide-range of areas, from cybersecurity to AI and data-driven transformations, how to use hyper-automation to make your business supersonic, and give you the tools to get creative to solve your organization’s biggest challenges. Welcome to today's IBM.

The need to communicate, collaborate and do business on a global level has created a proliferation of cloud based applications and services. Email. Cloud Storage. Messaging platforms. CRM. Digital Apps and Services. Organizations continue to add new cloud channels to support their business needs. But with new channels come new security blind spots that must be addressed. 

In this session we'll discuss:
 

• Cyber attack trends in the collaboration channel ecosystem
•  The (yet) unsolved challenges of email security – the main channel of targeted attacks
• The rising threat of cloud collaboration and the growing risk of content-borne attacks
• And we will walk three use cases, their challenges and their deployments. 

The pandemic has led to a growing dependence on technology for customer support. Consumers are increasing their digital purchases by 160 percent and are expecting businesses to support them across their channels of choice like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and more. 

To stay competitive, businesses have responded by rapidly purchasing new point solutions to support customers on their channels of choice. Now the pressure is on the IT teams to ensure these siloed solutions work together smoothly. They need to deliver consistent cross-channel experiences for their customers’ journeys, an easy to use tech stack for their employees, and a future-proof IT strategy for their business leaders. 

Join this session to learn: 

• How to unify and simplify support experiences 
• Why modern, consumer-grade experiences accelerate time to value
• How to future-proof your support desk investment 
• Art of the possible for customer support with AI and customer 360 view

The number of machines of all types – from Kubernetes, to cloud, to IoT – is on the rise. Every machine requires an identity – TLS, SSH, and code signing keys and certificates – that control encryption, authentication, and code execution. However, compromise, misuse, and fraud of machine identities are prime attack vectors for hackers. Errors are creating debilitating outages and resulting in millions of dollars in lost revenue and impacted customer satisfaction and trust. For all these reasons and more, Gartner has named Machine Identity Management a top cyber trend for 2021.

Attend this session to learn:

· Errors, outages, and incidents happen every day when machine identities fail

· The top machine identity attacks targeting your organisation and software supply chain

· How to use the machine identity threat model built on standard ATTACK

· Three things your organisation can do today to stay #fastsecure with Machine Identity Management

In the world of ransomware, supply chain poisoning, zero-day attacks, and unknown vulnerabilities, milliseconds matter.  Attackers can get access and manipulate workloads within minutes or even seconds.   

Our current tools allow attackers to dwell for hours, days, weeks, and months.   

There must be a better way.   

Powerful tools are needed to help organizations stop being reactive and start being proactive. Adoption of new security tools and frameworks can make a big difference. Enterprises should not have to settle for response if protection can be achieved.   

Join this session to learn how you can proactively protect your workloads from ransomware or other zero-day attacks in milliseconds and stop reacting to them after the fact.  Patch your vulnerabilities at your own tempo without opening yourself up to costly breaches.

Cyber Security has long been following the strategy of static defense, i.e an exercise of building castles and, over time, adding additional walls and improving the ones one already had.  This fell out of fashion in the physical world over a century ago because castles and other fixed fortifications are quite vulnerable to unanticipated forms of attack.  In this session we will be focusing at why implementing a Moving Target Defense is needed and its benefits.

• Working with vendors can be pleasant, mutually beneficial, and accomplished well without significant time commitment
• Vendors offer a unique and powerful perspective that we should leverage
• As CISOs, we can enable a more efficient market by promoting and ignoring vendors as appropriate

Cybersecurity Attacks are ever-increasing. Ransomware is shutting organizations around the globe. Cybersecurity  has been around since the computer was invented and progressed into the foundations around many aspects of our lives. So when does Cybersecurity mature? Just what is Cybersecurity Maturity about? Does it mean that my Cybersecurity program can start “shaving now” and see a R-rated Movies, or could buy alcohol now?  This humor-filled view of Cybersecure Maturity or immaturity.

InfoSec, IT risk and digital supply chain management professionals know the key to minimizing the risk of third-party breaches is to implement a comprehensive and efficient third-party security risk management (TPRSM) process. Dov Goldman discusses the increasing challenges surrounding third-party security as well as ways to efficiently and effectively manage the TPSRM process.

IAM has become central to many organizations security architecture today. Like a bouncer at the door of a nightclub with a list of who is allowed in, who isn’t, and who gets access to the VIP area – IAM allows your organization to have better visibility and protections of your systems. With that in mind, deciding what to do when it comes to IAM and what systems to have in place can be a nightmare. Jigar Shah is going to help us navigate through complex IAM system to give you the tools you need to make the best decisions possible.

What can a hacker possibly know about navigating the world of the corporate boardroom? Well, as it turns out, quite a bit actually. CISOs and senior security leaders have fought for years to get our place at the table and our voices heard in these high-level conversations. Now with cyber security on the top of everyone’s minds and even regulatory pressures to bring cyber security topics to the agenda, we’ve got that voice. Yet all to often security leaders find resistance and frustration trying to connect with the board and secure support for our initiatives.

In this session, life-long hacker turned executive security leader Alyssa Miller, digs into the common pitfalls that security leaders fall into. She’ll illustrate many of the counter productive strategies that some leaders still attempt with very little success. She’ll use the lessons of neuroscience, her own experiences, and the guiding principle of truly being a business enabler to shine light on better ways to make those conversations count. She’ll share practical tips from a hacker’s perspective that have proven invaluable in gaining the trust of board member and building excitement for security programs.
