Cutting Edge Cybersecurity Rockstars Require Visibility to Avoid Data Breaches
This opening session will present how being an exceptional CISO requires you to realize your role as a corporate leader and cybersecurity ambassador. The modern-day CISO does more than providing IT service delivery function. This CISO is a strategic contributor, business savvy, sensible, and cost-conscious with the ability to work cross-departmentally within the company and externally with business partners. Holistic cybersecurity success is dependent not only on quarterly meetings but on coordinated collaboration upstream and downstream.
In this session, you will:
•Hear how strategic storytelling is a leadership skill set every CISO must possess to be successful in accomplishing improved reporting structures
•Learn how to increase your C-Level pedigree to meet CEO expectations
•Explore lessons learned from working cross-departmentally with IT, Physical Security, HR, and Legal
•Understand the benefits of (2ic) to support novel technical approaches and discern good advice from bad

HR Is a Game Changer in Mitigating Security Threats
Cyber-attacks have been wreaking havoc across the world, resulting in billions of dollars in global economic loss. The nature of dangerous threat vectors is expanding, and the scope of security breaches is evolving. Cybersecurity threats will continue to escalate due to the rapid adoption of new technologies in a global digital economy. How does this affect your bottom-line? Through each employee. HR departments don’t need to be cybersecurity experts, but they should make it a priority to partner with IT and legal teams to evaluate the needs of the organization. This collaboration will ensure all employees possess basic cyber skill sets.
In this session, you will:
•Discuss building cyber competencies training programs, making cyber training integral in the on-boarding process, communication strategies for cyber threat awareness
•Hear how to create robust risk management policy to prevent and monitor cybersecurity risk in the organization and take timely disciplinary actions in case of breaches
•Explore hiring ethical hackers to strengthen cybersecurity resilience and building internal hacking simulators
•Understand the scope of employee privacy
12:10 pm - 12:55 pm
Dimensions of Effective CISO Leadership: Avoid Being the Scapegoat
Fighting cybercriminals in the corporate realm ensure potential career opportunities. As cyber threats evolve, efforts must be made to build cyber risk into overall business models to detect, prevent, and thwart bad actors. CEOs invest a considerable amount of time into understanding the fiscal initiatives set forth by the CFO to ensure healthy financial outcomes. The same considerations must be given for CISO’s to integrate cybersecurity measures and risk management fully. The absolute key to CISO success rests on the entire executive team. Their attitude and actions tend to make or break CISO’s.
In this session, you will:
•Discuss the balance required between technical astuteness, business acumen, and financial risk
•Hear tactics for earning a permanent seat with business executive leadership teams
•Explore the need for indicators of compromise for risk management and mitigation like threat intelligence, incident response plans, and cybersecurity policies in the business model

Closing the Cyber-Skills Gap: Create Internal Teams of White Hat Hackers
Cybersecurity training is everyone’s responsibility. While coaching isn’t the only key to solving the industry-wide skills gap, it does intertwine security in the culture of the organization and raise awareness and liability at all levels. As a CISO, don’t let anyone tell you there’s no budget for continued training. Make your case on how it is beneficial for each employee and the overall organization to build robust, competent, and empowered teams. Insider threats come in many forms, don’t get caught unprepared for the worst-case scenario.
In this session, you will:
•Hear how the creation of cybersecurity training facilities at businesses and universities is a game- changer for offensive and defensive cyber tactics
•Understand efforts to assess staff preparedness and reactivity to real-world scenarios like malware infections and data breaches
•Explore the ability to test theories with massive results

Masterclass
4:15 pm - 4:45 pm ER Phishing Emergency Room: Identify and Respond to Email Threats FasterPhishing remains the most widely used cyber-attack vector. Most end users report many email messages they “think” could be potentially malicious. With only approximately 1 in 10 user-reported emails verified as actually malicious, how do you not only handle the high-risk phishing attacks and threats but also effectively manage the other 90% of user-reported messages accurately and efficiently?
Key Takeaways:
•Hear simple methods with to identify and respond to user-reported messages and most dangerous threats
•Prioritize and analyze what messages are legitimate and what messages are not – quickly
•Help the team prioritize messages automatically, with an opportunity to review recommended focus points and take the actions you desire
BrainWeave
4:15 pm - 4:45 pm Know Your Enemy: Defining the Cyber KillOne of the best ways to get out ahead of malicious
actors are with cyber threat hunting, the act of proactively and aggressively eliminating adversaries as early as possible in the cyber kill chain. The quicker you can locate and track your adversaries’ tactics, techniques and procedures, the fewer impact attackers will have on your business.
Key Takeaways:
•Understand the cyber-attack stages and how to neutralize the impact quickly
•Learn about where SOC & intelligence analysts can support kill chain efforts
•Explore the common denominator in both internal (reactive) and external (proactive) cyber threats: the human element
This fast-moving, multi-topic session has three quick-fire presentations to be completed in 10 minutes. Each topic will focus on one specific challenge cybersecurity leaders are facing and will provide actionable solutions used to overcome these challenges effectively.
Ignite Session
4:45 pm - 5:20 pm AI Enriches Threat Protection Management for Greater Enterprise ResiliencySuccessful cybersecurity attacks can be so severe they shut down business operations, erode the public’s trust, and require substantial financial resources to go toward recovering.
