Case Studies in Digital Transformation: Learnings Along the Journey
We will explore key learnings from various industries and verticals on the good, the bad and the ugly of digital transformation. We will have an opportunity to not only be exposed to successful use cases, but also ask the hard questions behind those successes.
Takeaways:
- One of the best ways to learn is to hear the stories of success (and failure) from companies similar to yours
- Asking questions of HOW the Journey unfolded are just as important as the end result

Knowing Is Half the Battle - Protecting Applications & Their Sensitive Data
Application security testing tools scan your code to reveal the long lists of known vulnerabilities, but not all are remediated before the next release-even with mature secure software development practices. Enterprises resort to using theoretical levels of criticality - not actual risks-to prioritize which accumulated vulnerabilities to fix and in what order. Many vulnerabilities often undergo an exception process and make it into protocol.
A real-time, embedded solution like Prevoty's runtime application self-protection RASP changes the game completely. Prevoty places an automated security mechanism at the front of the line - directly in the application's operating environment - to immediately lower risk and act as a compensating control at runtime.
As such, Prevoty-enabled enterprises see 98%+ of their known vulnerabilities mitigated instantly, reducing backlogs and expediting an otherwise cumbersome release process. Prevoty RASP detects live production attacks and generates real-time security event longs and reports. Security teams can then correlate pre production vulnerability scan results with Prevoty's runtime attack logs to go back, remediate based on actual risk - not just hypothetical threats. The result? Improved forensics.

Designing a Digital Workplace: Balancing Security with Effectiveness
Employees are consumers of digital technologies such as IoT, AR and VR. The plethora of mobile devices has enabled them to work where they want and when they want which has raised the bar on employee expectations for tools and capabilities from their employers. In order for companies to retain the best and get the most out of their employees, it is vital to design and continually update the digital workplace. We will discuss the current trends as well as share case studies of successful digital workplace implementations including how to deal with the inherent security risks of expanded accessibility to company resources.
Takeaways:
- Highly skilled employees will demand a mobile and efficient workplace.
- Keeping these skilled employees fully engaged and passionate about your company is critical to achieving the desired Digital Transformation

Big Data, Little Data. Secure Data, Lost Data.
If digital transformation is a journey, then data is the fuel that will transport your company from here to there. What data do you have access to? How can you make sense out of the data and thus make decisions from it? How does a company use data to be a disruptor and not a victim? And how do you secure that data to ensure that the digital transformation journey does not end prematurely?
Takeaways:
- Digital transformation without constant access to usable and reliable data will be a slow and arduous journey.
- Digital transformation exposes increasing amounts of data potentially vulnerable to cyber attacks and must be addressed.

Can Technology Alone Prevent Phishing Attacks and Breaches?
In a world where we are talking about trusting self driving cars, will we totally trust self "threat assessing and action taking" cybersecurity systems? Is technology enough? What is the human role in both preventing and responding to attacks.
Takeaways:
- Employees continue to be one of the leading, if not the leading, entry point for security breaches
- Training about cyber attack approaches such as Phishing is important but using technology can help employees more consistently identify outside forces attempting to harm your company

Which "Friends" Do I Trust? Realities of 3rd Party Risk
It is not a matter of if, but a matter of when. Organizations, more and more, and are outsourcing business activities to 3rd-parties because of cost-savings, revenue opportunities, expertise, etc. Thus collaborating with our business partners early to select the right 3rd-party vendor(s) with the appropriate security posture is essential, especially for vendors hosting, processing and/or transmitting sensitive/regulatory information, or having access to our IT assets.
Takeaways:
- Regardless of the reasons, outsourcing some business functions to a 3rd party seems inevitable in today's world
- It is critical to have a proper vetting procedure of 3rd parties before engaging them as business partners who have access to company systems and data

Are You Protecting the Privileged?
In this session, we will discuss the importance of making it more difficult for cyber attackers to access your organization's privileged accounts. Equally important is the ability for security teams to monitor behaviors for abnormal access to those accounts. During this session, CISOs and IT Security leaders will discuss strategies to prevent security breaches including tactics such as implementing mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrators.
Takeaways:
- Examples of success and failure when protecting privileged accounts.
- Steps to make your organization for secure when it comes to privileged accounts.

CISO's Got Talent: Finding, Growing & Retaining the Best People
While new technology and solutions can help CISOs make more, faster and better decisions for an organization, nothing will take the place of a highly talented workforce. CISOs need to be great recruiters of talent but even more importantly growing the skills and capabilities of their team providing engaging and challenging opportunities for people. Competitive compensation is important for retaining great talent but so is a work environment where individual growth and development are front of mind and not an after thought.
Takeaways:
- Highly skilled employees want an environment where they can grow their skills and feel appropriately challenged
- Finding the best people, inside and outside of your company, and then providing a path to individual excellence is a key responsibility of CIOs

Disrupt or Be Disrupted: The Digital Transformation Journey Has No Parking Lots
The seemingly ever expanding cadre of technological tools available to incumbent industry leaders are also available to myriad start-ups. Start-ups are using these new technologies to disrupt industries of all types, changing how customers think about tried and true industries. Disruption is found on every corner and it is critical for CIOs to lead their organizations in a way that make them as nimble as their competitors.
Takeaways:
- Technology enables companies, especially start-ups with no legacy infrastructure, to disrupt industries overnight
- CIOs need to lead their companies in ways that disrupt before they are disrupted by others
