14:00 - WELCOME REMARKS & INTRODUCTION
14:10 - 14:25 - SESSION 1 - DELEGATE PRESENTATION
The Cybersecurity Risks of Working from Home
The rise of Coronavirus has caused many organizations worldwide to transition their employees to work from home. While necessary to protect employees’ wellbeing in the time of a health crisis, remote work also facilitates cybersecurity threats that must not be ignored. Employees that are working from home need to be educated on the most important steps to take to avoid having their corporate devices or data compromised, especially when their organization has not had the time or resources to implement a strong set of remote work policies, technology, and training, which is the case for many organizations today caught off guard by the worldwide pandemic.
Learning Outcomes
- What are the core cybersecurity risks of working from home and how can they be mitigated
- How to establish communication forums where remote employees can report potential issues
- What technologies and tools are recommended for establishing enabling secure remote work
14:30 - 14:45 - SESSION 2 - PARTNER PRESENTATION
Process Alignment and Cybersecurity
People and process alignment has never been more important than in today’s unpredictable business climate. A holistic approach to digital security that emphasizes cross-organizational collaboration between various individuals and teams can allow for system weaknesses to be identified quickly and for rapid adjustments to follow. In contrast, a misaligned, uncollaborative organization will have a very difficult time staying ahead of ongoing threats, even with the best technology in place. Relying more on collaborative processes and less on defensive technology alone will prove to be an important factor in digital security strategies.
Learning Outcomes
- What steps can CISOs take to begin operating their organizations with a more holistic digital security approach
- How to correct misalignment within the organization
- How to organize teams within the organization to create effective business processes
14:45 -15:15 - SESSION 3 - OPEN DISCUSSIONS AND Q&A
A Holistic Approach to Cybersecurity
In the age of digital transformation, businesses are evolving faster than ever. An ever-growing list of applications are being deployed that may run on any number of clouds, while nascent technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence are becoming important aspects of many business’s competitive strategies. CISOs must take lead in this transformation process to help balance the risks of new digital technologies with their potential benefits.
In the past, effective cybersecurity strategies primarily relied on defensive processes and technologies. But as the boundaries of the network have become blurred with the proliferation of mobile devices and connectivity virtually everywhere, cybersecurity has become far too complex to rely on defensive solutions alone. Instead of the traditional firewall, what may be required is more of an immune system that responds to threats as they emerge and addresses any ill effects before they severely weaken the business as a whole.
Since attacks are inevitable, CISOs must be proactive to ensure their organizations are prepared. By focusing on alignment throughout the organization to build an understanding of how the whole system is connected, weak points can be addressed and processes improved before serious threats do long-term damage.
