Nothing is constant but change: changing business models with more outsourcing and deeper reliance on coordination with our partners, changing demands from customers, radical new information technologies, and an atmosphere of increasing scrutiny from just about everyone. In order to protect the business in the midst of such change, security and risk professionals must balance the business demand for openness and integration against the concerns around data protection, availability, compliance, and oversight. By introducing a mixture of governance practices, structured processes, and new technologies, security and risk professionals can serve to stimulate and promote these very changes, as well as to protect the business amid them.

We have designed the keynotes, sessions, panels, and one-on-one interactions with analysts specifically to help you:

  • Learn innovative security and risk practices. Industry experts and analysts will hold practical sessions, panels, and workshops on today’s most difficult security threats and management struggles. Together, we will work to structure your programs for optimal effectiveness, prioritize your investments, pick the right solutions, and implement successful initiatives.
  • Gain influence at the executive level. Understanding business objectives is only half the battle: We have to execute on them and show the results of our efforts. Establishing stronger ties with the business side of the house requires that we reach agreement on what is important to them and then deliver demonstrable value.
  • Build operational risk, security, and compliance excellence. In the past, keeping up with external threats was challenging enough. To those responsibilities, we’ve added IT compliance mandates, business continuity, brand protection, and more. The only way to meet current challenges and prepare for the future is to focus on operational excellence. The key is to find ways to fold elements of security operations into IT wherever there’s strong overlap, look to outsource tasks that don’t require in-house expertise, and streamline the tasks you keep.
