“We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science
and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything
about science and technology.” – Carl Sagan
CISO Assembly
March 28, 2019
New York, NY
Security in the Digital Age
With an alarming number of breaches, it is clear that the attack surface has greatly expanded. As enterprises work to develop a progressive strategy, there is an increasing need to deploy and manage a variety of advanced internal and external security services. This leaves the Chief Information Security Officer faced with a multitude of challenges to maintain and run a secure enterprise.
The CISO is at the center of the security dialogue and is ultimately responsible for the guidance and leadership of an increasingly intricate technology landscape. Given the weight of that responsibility, the search for the most transformative solutions that enable them to protect the enterprise is constant and the need to stay ahead of the curve, a must.
On March 28, 2019 in New York, NY Apex Assembly united visionary leaders, entrepreneurs and industry security experts for a full day of content and networking, where we will examine the challenges of 2018 and concentrate on the most pressing issues of 2019 in the information technology security sector.
Through collaboration with our executive community, we have discovered key industry challenges and trends. These topics form the foundation of the Assembly and will be addressed through informative introductions, member roundtables, case studies and interactive workshops.
Past Speakers Include...
Topics to be covered include:
- The changing cloud compliance, risk, and cloud management framework. How to address cloud adoption and real-world cloud security challenges
- Utilizing security analytics that can help you detect compliance violations in real time while examining under behavior to speed up attack detection and response
- Ways to better manage authentication, password policies and enforce protocols to ensure consistency across enterprise-wide, customer, social and third-party systems
- What AI means for security teams and how can intelligent automation benefit your organization
- Using data governance to provide enhancement and streamlined decision making to protect the interest of data stakeholders
The Assembly will feature members from...
