Keynote Presentation
So you want to be a technology-driven company?
There are two types of companies: those who already are or are becoming technology-driven companies; and those who are being disrupted by technology-driven companies. So how do "traditional" companies infuse technology into their businesses? In this session, we'll get beyond the hype of digital transformations, the changing role of the CIO, the introduction of new roles such as Chief Digital/Data Officers, and explore what actually needs to change.
- Technology is a major factor in developing successful business strategies. For example, the emergence of technology-driven platforms and the associated ecosystems is changing the landscape in many industries.
- Don't think of technology "supporting the business", instead think about technology fundamentally changing the way the business operates and how technology changes the nature of customer interactions and experience.
- Delivering value is not just about technology. Traditional company culture needs to change to embrace human-center design, agile work practices, integrated cross-functional teams, and empowerment of all employees to bring new ideas and challenge the status quo.

Cyber, Fraud, and AML Fusion: "Bringing the Pieces Together"
Fraudsters and other cyber threat actors attack across the people/process/technology stack in a cross-channel manner, and don't differentiate between cyber, fraud, and AML. As targets of these actors, we can't afford to maintain artificial separation between these functions. In response, Cyber, Fraud, AML, and Physical Security increasingly being either being joined in fusion centers or fully integrated into a whole that is more than the sum of its parts. In fact, Gartner estimates that by 2022, 70% of organizations will have combined budget or leadership for their fraud and cyber functions.
- What are the advantages (and costs/risks) posed by the creation of a JSOC or cyber fusion team
- How can these areas be fused in organizations of various sizes
- What other groups or functions should, or could, participate
- Selling the concept of the Cyber-Fusion/ the JSOC in the face of internal politics and regulatory scrutiny

Digital Transformation: "Disruption from Within"
Companies need to position themselves to benefit from technological advances that have occurred during recent years. Opportunities exist for a digitally transformed company, but they require a collaborative approach between the business and IT leadership. The complexity of "disrupting from within" to create this transformation has been the downfall of many great companies as over 50% of the Fortune 500 have gone bankrupt, been acquired, or ceased to exist as a result of digital disruption per Harvard Business Review.
- What are the four pillars of a digital transformation?
- Will your company be able to stay relevant and viable in the changing business environment?
- Who needs to be engaged in this process?

Hitchhikers Guide to the Future with Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. AI needs to be focused around machines we can trust, data we can trust, results we can trust. During this session we will look at What is AI and what AI is NOT. We will examine the "Law of 42", where the questions are more important than the answers. We examine the history of AI and how this old but new technology has progressed over the years. We look at "Augmented Learning" and how it applies to cybersecurity.
- What current AI is very good at and what AI cannot do today, (disadvantages and problems).
- How Machine Learning fits into the AI models (examining the different type of AI models).
- What are the different types of Machine Learning Models.

Do You Really Know What's Possible?
Digital Transformation is a catch all, over used, but maybe undervalued, term that can make it difficult for companies to take meaningful action toward transforming their businesses. Understanding what current technologies really can, and can't do, can lead to new business models and strategies that might otherwise go untapped, leaving your organization flat footed at a time when they can quickly become irrelevant.

Digital Transformation Needs Digital Identity
Most organizations struggle with competing priorities of risk management, compliance, cost, and user experience; all while working to manage the long tail of legacy systems, including legacy identity & access management solutions.
What if there was a comprehensive digital identity solution that could drive a successful digital transformation program? What if a single platform could help you balance security and user experience for all identities, while coexisting with your existing legacy and supporting a non-disruptive migration?
A strategic approach to modern digital identity will simultaneously improve numerous aspects of your business. Join this talk from ForgeRock to learn how.

Applications are the lifeblood of the enterprise, but as the threats multiply, as applications move to the cloud, as legacy applications need to be maintained, and as organizations seek competitive advantage with new technologies and faster release cycles, it's easy to see that application security can be a thankless, endless and challenging job.
Imperva has distilled three best practices (and a bonus tip) that help enterprises of any size vastly improve and simplify application security, accelerate threat detection and operationalize application security in a dynamic world where change is the only constant.

Establishing Trust & Ethical Data Usage through Scoring
As organizations mature their data management, governance and quality approach, how can data professionals keep their finger on the pulse and ensure data is trusted and is being utilized ethically? It's a tough job to ensure the organization trusts the data in use and even tougher to deploy the right mechanisms to ensure there is a way to monitor for unethical usage. We need to change how we think about data. Business teams need to be active owners of critical data. Critical data needs to have a trust and ethical usage scoring framework.
Takeaways:
- Simple way do you gauge data trust in your organization
- Cover the broader topic of digital ethics and the trust of your employees and customers
- What steps your organization can take to establish trust and ethical usage monitoring

Is AI the future of Email Security?
Email continues to be the dominant attack vector for threat actors in today's landscape. Email security gateways have been focused and effective on widespread attacks and campaigns, but have been porous to sophisticated, highly targeted attacks. Despite significant investments into email security, Business Email Compromise (BEC) losses have nearly doubled year over year over year - from $360M in 2016 to $1.3B in 2018. This represents roughly 48% of all cybercrime losses. Combatting BEC and other socially-engineered, payload-less attacks requires a shift in mindset and approach. AI and Machine Learning have hyped technologies in security over the past several years. So the question is - Is AI the future of email security?
