Panel
Steering Cultural Change
An IT executive's role, goals and objectives have drastically changed over the years. Most leaders supervise teams and units beyond their IT department. Due to these changes in responsibilities, their success is measured in greater business metrics. As a result, these roles have become both more attractive and more demanding.
Takeaways:
- What are the significant changes regarding the role of the IT Executive
- How to keep up with the changing requirements
- How to properly measure an IT executive's success
Moderated by:
Andrew (Andy) Smith, Practice Lead, Global IT Operational Excellence, Penon Partners

Integrate Once, Reuse Everywhere - IBM Security and the Open Cybersecurity Alliance
In late 2019, IBM joined forces with 17 other cybersecurity vendors - including McAfee, Crowdstrike and others - to form the Open Cybersecurity Alliance (OCA) to promote open and interoperable cybersecurity. Recognizing that most companies have too many cybersecurity tools to manage, too much data in too many places, and not enough skilled security professionals, OCA members subscribe to the mantra "Integrate once, reuse everywhere" to enable security teams to focus on solving security issues rather than getting tools to work together. Now up to 27 members, the OCA is becoming a powerful force in the cybersecurity industry.
Chris Bontempo leads Marketing and Offerings for IBM Security in North America and will discuss how the OCA members are working together and contributing foundational technologies under the open-source Apache 2.0 license, to enable security solutions to communicate with each other over a standard fabric during the entire threat management life cycle.
He'll also demonstrate how IBM Security is implementing foundational open-source OCA technologies like STIX-Shifter, OpenDXL and OpenC2 in its new open security platform, the IBM Cloud Pak for Security, to help clients transform threat hunting and detection, security analytics, operations and response and beyond.

You Need to Know Who Is Accessing Your Data, But Do You Really?
Knowing who is accessing what data is at the heart of security. Today, users and attackers get to your data through a mesh of web applications, APIs, and microservices. Unfortunately, your database logs only report the querying source as an authorized intermediary application without the originating requestor's information. This blind spot causes glaring gaps during audits, slows incident response, and impede breach detection.
Learn how to apply new ways of continuously linking originating users' information to every database access with cohesive interworking between edge WAF, server RASP, and Data Activity Monitoring tools.

Managing Digital Risk Amid Disruption
Digital transformation is not only changing how companies think about business. It is changing how we think about risk. We need to *act* on risk, not worry about it. We need to start and end with the basics. Join RSA as we review several key areas of digital risk management to target as you are challenged to be a key contributor in your organization's digital journey.

Think Tank
M&A integration Challenges and Solutions
M&A remains a relevant and interesting topic even in the new reality of Corvid-19 limitations.
In fact, there may be an increased and rushed activity for companies with the strong financial position to acquire less fortunate or savvy competitors.
Yet, many of these deals will not generate the returns advertised to the management team by the deal champion.
This discussion will focus on some of the common mistakes company make during integration planning and execution, as well as some suggestions to how established best practices can be used to avoid these traps.

Viktoria Sazonova, Vice President, M&A Governance & Execution, Assurant

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

Dave Hudson, Chief Information Officer, Insight Global

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

Josh Sorenson, Senior Director, Global Security, Equifax
Think Tank
Combating the Rise in Cloud-based Threats
As the cloud migration continues, securing data and critical infrastructure is going to require new approaches. Organizations have struggled to maintain control of critical data and ensure real-time threat intelligence, giving cloud-based threats the ability to multiply. Data buckets being misconfigured, or inadequately secured increases the risk of a breach. Being able to manually manage security for large web application infrastructures has become a thing of the past. As such, organizations are being pushed to reevaluate their approach to web application security.
Takeaways:
- The rise of cloud migration means security will need to adapt
- Many organizations have struggled to secure data
- Cybersecurity threats will only increase and become more complex
