The SEC has traditionally been a distant concern for CISOs, but recent events have changed the landscape dramatically. The criminal conviction of Uber’s former CISO, the fallout from the SolarWinds incident, and last year’s new cyber disclosure regulations highlight the increased risks CISOs now face in safeguarding their organizations—and themselves.

Join our expert panel as they delve into the intensified regulatory focus on cybersecurity breaches and the evolving responsibilities of CISOs. Key discussion points will include:

• The government’s approach to cyber cases involving both companies and individuals
• Strategies for CISOs to manage their expanded role in the disclosure process
• Essential indemnification and insurance considerations

The role of the leader of enterprise security has dramatically evolved over the last 5 years. The Chief Information Security Officer and senior security leaders have been transformed from technical leaders to someone who must possess business intelligence as well as a deep understanding of risks and threats to the business – more than that, they must have a plan. To that end, we will discuss some of the most important questions CISOs and senior security leaders - and where and how to get those answers:

• What inherent threats does our infrastructure (and the way we do business) pose to the business?
• How quickly can we identify and respond to novel threats to mitigate and remediate disruptions?
• How are we leveraging Artificial Intelligence to help our security resources become more efficient and effective?

In the rapidly changing cyber threat landscape, it's crucial for leaders to effectively use threat intelligence to maintain strong security measures. Decision-makers are relying on actionable threat intelligence to strengthen cyber resilience and achieve important business goals. This roundtable session will offer insights into the strategic challenges and opportunities of transforming raw threat data into actionable intelligence and discuss leadership strategies to enhance threat intelligence operations.

Join us to explore:

• Transforming Data: Consolidate and contextualize threat data to eliminate redundancies and enhance actionable insights
• Real-time Access: Integrate real-time threat intelligence seamlessly into your security workflows
• Collaboration and Sharing: Leverage secure and efficient threat intelligence sharing to bolster collective defence efforts

Topic areas:
• Proving Value of Security & Innovative ways to get funding
• Burnout/Empathy & How do you really get things done
• How do you define what good looks like & measure initiatives

DevSecOps, despite being around for some time, is still not fully adopted in many organizations, presenting a significant challenge for CISOs striving to implement it effectively. Join us for an exclusive workshop tailored for security leaders focusing on strategic leadership in DevSecOps. This session will delve into effective strategies for integrating security into the development lifecycle, fostering a culture of security, and leveraging AI to enhance security measures.

Join this workshop to discuss:

• Seamless Security Integration: Embed security practices into development without hindering innovation
• Cultivating Security Culture: Foster a security-first mindset across your organization
• AI-Enhanced Vulnerability Management: Use AI to swiftly identify and address vulnerabilities

As attackers increasingly target cloud and SaaS, traditional prevention falls short. Today’s focus must shift to mitigation—detecting and responding swiftly to limit damage. This session explores the essential components of an effective SaaS and Cloud TDIR strategy through real-world examples, highlighting visibility, threat hunting, and incident response. We’ll also cover how to effectively communicate and justify these security investments to stakeholders, demonstrating clear ROI and securing critical support.

Boosting Visibility: Practical ways to enhance visibility across cloud and SaaS to detect threats faster.

Proactive Threat Hunting: Real-world approaches to threat hunting and swift incident response.

Justifying Security Investments: Tips for communicating TDIR ROI to secure stakeholder support.
