CISO / Thought Leadership
Welcome to Protect - Day 2
Voice of the CISO report
Learn what key challenges are facing CISOs across the globe as we unveil the findings of the 2022 Voice of the CISO report. The survey explores three key areas: the threat risk and types of cyber-attacks CISOs combat daily, the levels of employee and organizational preparedness to face them, and the impact of supporting a hybrid workforce as businesses prepare to re-open their corporate offices. It also covers the challenges CISOs face in their roles, position amongst the C-suite, and business expectations of their teams.
Speakers:
Malcom Norman, Chief Information Security Officer, Wood
Patrick Joyce, Vice President of Information Technology and Chief Information Security Officer, Medtronic
Lucia Milică, JD, Global Resident CISO, Proofpoint
Strategies for Board Engagement
Recent events, including SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, and Log4J have served to elevate the profile of the CISO. The CISO now has a leadership voice and must use it to instill confidence at the highest levels of the organization and as the foremost executive on the front lines against the threat of systemic risk. A single cyber event can have devastating consequences on an organization's ability to deliver its operational value. CISOs need to have identified the potential ‘showstopper’ risks for their enterprise and ensure that the Board understands the position. Learn from veteran Board members about their journey to the Board room and expectations for understanding cyber risk.
Speakers:
Deborah Wheeler, Chief Information Security Officer, Delta Airlines
Dr. Chenxi, Founder & General Partner, Rain Capital Investment
Lucia Milică, JD, Global Resident CISO, Proofpoint
Regulatory landscape in 2022
Managing data privacy risk in a dynamic regulatory environment is challenging. Compounding that is the fact that you have to defend your regulated data against threats inside and outside the organization. You need to put in “appropriate” or “reasonable” security measures, but it is up to you to develop them. Join us for a critical fireside chat with Global regulators.
Speaker:
Stewart Room, Global Head of Data Protection, Privacy and Cyber Security Legal, Strategy and Consulting Services, DWF Law LLP
Lucia Milică, JD, Global Resident CISO, Proofpoint
CISO perspective on cyber insurance
Cyber insurance is designed to transfer risks to the insurer. For insurers to be profitable, they must have a fundamental grasp of the risks facing organizations and shifts in the threat landscape. As work becomes increasingly flexible and more solutions move to the cloud, protecting organizations is increasingly challenging.
Despite the challenges, Cyber Insurance exists for organizations to help address residual risk. Many organizations are faced with exponential premium increases as they try to understand what cyber insurance actually covers, while others are forced to renew due to contractual obligations or decide to self-insure. This environment creates confusion as organizations ask: does cyber insurance provides risk mitigation or just a measured level of resilience?
