Is there an Elephant in the Room? The Problems with CIO & CISOs

In this honest conversation, Chris explores how CIO & CISOs may be navigating the Great Resignation incorrectly, and how they may even want to reassess the value that their role gives to an organization. Indeed, is it their roles, processes, and technology that they signed off on that is exacerbating the problems uncovered by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speakers:

Chris Surdak
Chief Transformation Officer, Intelligent Automation
Enhancing Security with Greater Agency: From Customers to C-Suite Executives

It is fair to say that in we must all do our part to ensure that security is at the forefront of our lives. This is no different for Customers Bank who have taken it upon themselves to provide their customers with accessible security training that has bolstered their security. And while we may want customers to take greater responsibility for their own security, we may also want to think about how CIO/CISOs should have more agency to improve their organizations by taking a larger role in the decision-making process.

Speakers:

Endré Walls
EVP CISO
Avoiding obsolescence in Security Controls & Staff Roles

So many factors go into making a companies’ security watertight. Learning to spot the best vendors needed for your business is the first step. But once you have the tools you believe you need, how do you need to include them into your existing security operations? And how confident are you that your C-suite executives can ensure that this new potential is realized?

Speakers:

Rupa Parameswaran
Head of Security Architecture & Operations
Head in the Cloud: Is your adoption the best it can be?

Correct Cloud adoption is crucial for any business, and while many organizations have already done so, cloud adoption does not mean your organization is cloud native. Furthermore, with so many refinements and new technologies that are constantly appearing it can be hard to keep track of new tech, let alone adopting this technology to its fullest potential.

Cloud migration is crucial to the success of innovative organizations and Marcio Esteves, Director Enterprise Shared Applications Development at Tokyo Marine, will share some of his thoughts of cloud native architecture.

Speakers:

Marcio Esteves
Director Enterprise Shared Applications Development
So, you think you know Quantum?

Momentum around quantum computing grows daily, and its technology is so close to widespread adoption. As some company’s head towards mainstream adoption, what will happen to those that are being left behind? What should these organizing be doing right now?

Furthermore, while quantum computers offer fantastic opportunities, quantum adoption may bring with it severe cyber security threats which may make quantum unviable without first being secured.

The 5th Industrial Revolution: Why 5G is just the Beginning

What will be the impact of 5G on the threat landscape in the next decade? By understanding the near-term benefits, legacy problems, and the growth of ‘software-defined networks’, are you ready for the next Industrial Revolution?

Speakers:

Royce Stewart
Global Client Partner
The Future of the Contact Center

Businesses today face greater complexity and more challenges than ever before. As if managing remote and hybrid workforces weren’t enough, businesses are dealing with labor shortages, inflation, the great resignation and of course the issue of Customer Retention and CSAT

Any while Hybrid work has been a great blessing to many of us, it has also exposed us to new problems that need to be solved.

Speakers:

Gayathri Krishnamurthy
AVP CX Product Marketing
Genetic Analysis: Science meets Digital Transformation

The growth of the market for health IT security is being driven by many factors, most notably the rise in the number of healthcare data breaches across the globe. Patient data safety is of course the top priority.

In this session, Sulabh Sood Head of Digital Product Management, Strategy & Operations at Avellino Lab will explore his digital transformation strategies, technologies, and data processing that have helped enhance precision medicine for Avellino Lab and improved data security.

Revealing the Secrets of the Human Body with Natural Language Processing
Natural language processing is an exciting subfield of linguistics and artificial intelligence, concerned with the interactions between computers and human language.
The goal of NLP is to ‘understand’ the contents of documents, including the contextual nuances of the language within them. This is incredibly useful within many sectors, especially Healthcare and Life Sciences, which we will be looking at today as a setting for our conversation.

Speakers:

David Talby
Chief Transformation Officer, Intelligent Automation
Passwords are Dead: Long Live Passwords!
Who can honestly say they remember all their passwords? If you can, you likely lying, or are guilty of reusing them which defeats their original purpose!
Managing online passwords can be a chore, but there are increasingly louder calls from tech companies to do away with passwords altogether. Passwords are often seen as the weakest part of security, so are we really heading towards a world of multi-factor authentication and biometrics to secure our technology?
While it is enticing to dream of a password-less internet, would it be practical? Or is there still merit to this age-old piece of security?

Speakers:

Pedro Canahuati
Chief Technology Officer
Crusaders of Change: Threat Intelligence & Cultural Security
Regardless of your industry or company size, security breaches and undetected vulnerabilities have the potential to do serious harm to your organization’s assets.
While having a strong incident response plan is a must-have component of any security team, the best way to defend your organization is to stop an attack from happening in the first place. Threat Intelligence is an excellent piece of the security puzzle: from collecting data to sharing insights to members to other teams. But Threat Intelligence is only as good as the team that leads the charge.
This session is brought to you by Samara Williams, Manager, Information Security & Risk at Cardinal Health who shares her thoughts on her Threat Intelligence models and the Cultural Security that supports it.

Samara Williams
Manager, Information Security & Risk

It’s almost an inevitability that the Digital Transformation strategies of yesterday start to show their age over time and it is worth looking at new ways to energize your strategy.
Olu Rowaiye from Equinix shares his thoughts on the best building blocks in a digital transformation strategy.

One such organization is the National Development Council, and Antonio Palumbo, Chief Technology Officer will talk about his organizations successes as well as hypothesising what technology the future may bring for this sector.

Repairing the Fortress: Cyber Breach Responses that Actually Works
A Former Director of the FBI once said: “There are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be hacked.” But as ransomware actors are becoming increasingly specialized, as well as growing in numbers, the amount of companies that are being hacked is increasing. But in this game, it seems almost like an inevitability. So when the inevitable strikes, what are some of the best practices to rebuild your defenses?

Speakers:

Andrew Gorecki
Executive Consultant, X-Force
The Integral & Ethical Hacker
While many of us are worried about our cybersecurity systems being tested, there are individuals that make their own way in the world by legally probing our defenses. We speak of Ethical Hackers.
In this session we are joined by Dr. Lauren Provost Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Cybersecurity, School of Cybersecurity, Data Science, & Computing (CDSC), Norwich University.
Dr. Provost will discuss career pathways that support the field of ethical hacking, its challenges, as well as what private industries can do to receive help from Ethnical Hacking and support it as a profession.

Cultural Change & The Talent Gap in IT Leadership

The future of work is here, and seismic shifts are happening across the IT industry. For many, this is the age of ‘The Great Resignation’ which heralds greater challenges when attracting and retaining staff. For others, this is the perfect time to adopt cultural change and enjoy new relationships with their work. But who is correct? Are we witnessing a craze that will soon fizzle out, or will organizations need to introduce change to attract the best staff?

Speakers:

Andrew Nuxoll
Sr. Director of Infrastructure, Operations and Cybersecurity
Accelerating Enterprise Transformation using Data, AI, and Hybrid Cloud

Organizations are witnessing the dawn of the data-driven, AI, and regulatory era.

Our mission is to deliver a trusted, enterprise-wide, data and AI backbone for transforming IBM into an AI Enterprise. The resulting benefits to business include reduced time to find and consume data and reduced time to implement initiatives.
