Disrupter Presenter: “Speaker Opportunities and Risks in the ‘New Normal’ of IT“
Alastair Pooley Chief Information Officer |
read more »
The global pandemic has completely disrupted the course of normal business. CIOs are facing the greatest challenge of our careers. We have had to make significant investments in technology to ensure business continuity and build new ways of working, while also making cuts to keep our organizations resilient. However, the rapid-fire decisions we’re making to ensure survival are exposing us to greater risks – some of which we have no way of anticipating. In this session, we will discuss how CIOs can avoid ending up in a game of chance like Rock, Paper, Scissors with our technology investments by considering:
How to better weigh risk versus reward when making decisions about technology spend vs. cuts
Creating business continuity plans built on an assumption of longer-term uncertainty
Ensuring today’s highly responsive digital transformation isn’t paving the way for tomorrows unaffordable legacy

Executive Vision Presenter: “Securing the New Normal: How Cyber AI Learns on the Job “
Justin Fier Director of Cyber Intelligence & Analytics |
read more »
The future of work remains unpredictable and uncertain. More than ever before, business leaders need to remain confident that their operations can continue securely in the face of global or even regional crises, and while sections of the economy are slowly re-opening, cyber-attackers are ramping up their campaigns.
As businesses look set to rely on cloud and SaaS tools for the long term, our digital environments are going to be more dynamic than ever. Yet organizations are finding themselves undergoing a delicate balancing act—each new work practice and technology that is introduced also brings unforeseen risk. Static, legacy approaches have become redundant, both unintelligent and ill-equipped to adapt.
Organizations must rethink their approach to security, and rely on new technologies like AI to achieve much-needed adaptability and resilience. Darktrace is the world leader in Cyber AI technology, and leverages unsupervised machine learning to seamlessly adapt and integrate into changing environments, and to detect and respond to attacks in the earliest moments.
In the face of an uncertain present and future, Cyber AI enables businesses to continue communicating, operating, and innovating.

In today’s digital landscape, the role of the CIO has become the most dynamic amongst their peers. CIOs are focused on finding the most transformative technologies that enable them to bring value to their enterprise and customers.
Adopting an enterprise wide transformation strategy is driven by fundamental shifts in internal and external forces that impact the business and how it operates. Disruptive technologies are being introduced to the market faster than ever and executives must have the ability to align and address the enterprise-wide transformation challenges. These changes will ultimately influence strategic planning, business operations and the overall trajectory of the operating model moving forward. With unceasing demands, technology has become more complex and solution providers more difficult to decipher.
Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges of 2019 and concentrate on the most pressing issues of 2020 in the information technology sector.
Through collaboration with our executive community, we have discovered key industry challenges and trends. These topics form the foundation of the Summit and will be addressed through Panels, Disrupter sessions, and Fireside chats.
Hosted using video conferencing technology, our Virtual Summit gives executives and service providers the opportunity to engage with like-minded executives and industry leaders without having to leave their office or home.
