“Over the course of the past year, we have heard again and again from CISOs and other C-level executives, who have been confronted with unexpected pain points as they undertake their digital transformation. Some are finding they need to rethink their teams’ skill sets, while others are struggling to get buy-in from their boards and other stakeholders,” said CSA President Illena Armstrong. “In response, we have tailored the inaugural CxO Summit to provide much-needed solutions to these enterprise challenges, while simultaneously deepening C-level stakeholders’ cloud and cybersecurity understanding and knowledge.”
Highlights of the day’s agenda include:
- Panel Discussion: Digital Transformation Impacts to Security Strategies & the Teams Governing Them. Panelists: Barth Bailey, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer, Fulton Bank; Rick Doten, Vice President, Information Security at Centene Corp., and CISO of Carolina Complete Health; Aravind Swaminathan, Global Co-chair of Orrick’s Cyber, Privacy & Data Innovation practice; and Janice Reese, Chief Executive Officer, Network PDF Cloud. This session will explore how organizations can best evolve their security programs and control frameworks to adjust to their now highly virtualized, software-defined environments and the top priorities to address them.
- Table Top Exercises. Chief Security Officers and other security industry leaders will take participants through a tabletop exercise to threat model against the latest breaches in cloud, using CSA’s newly released threat modeling tools to diagnose recent public attacks to build better detection, protection, and response processes. The threat modeling exercise will consider unique cloud threats, assets, vulnerabilities, appropriate controls, ratings, and more.
- Panel Discussion: Cloud Native: Why Should I Care? Digital transformation involves application innovation and providing advanced predictive services to customers driven by an integrated user experience. Cloud native technologies enable applications to evolve faster, increase developer velocity, and bring a greater level of portability and consistency, regardless of underlying infrastructure. This discussion dives into what Cloud Native means to a CIO, CEO, and a CISO and examines the advantages, disadvantages, and future direction of these technologies.
