Hayley Wickenheiser, Four-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Member of the Hockey Hall of Fame

As the captain of Team Canada and now a doctor-in-training, Hayley Wickenheiser has seen (and been) many styles of a leader. What kinds of leaders are there and how do the different styles impact success? What does a successful team need and how did she help Team Canada succeed on the world stage? Wickenheiser shares insight on the good, bad, ugly, and just plain hilariousness of leadership she’s experienced and been a part of, and applies that to the complexities teams face today with technology, distance, connectivity, and more.

Brian Wrozek, CISO, Optiv

Cybersecurity is a team effort. It is everyone’s responsibility. Optiv’s CTO and CISO will share with you how they build and leverage partnerships across the entire organizational hierarchy to balance security with the dynamic needs of the business.

John Johnson, Vice President, Services - Strategy, Optiv

Being prepared for the increasing threat of cyber-attacks is clearly a primary goal of security professionals, but many of our systems and data are at risk due to legacy system architecture limitations and user experience requirements. John Johnson, VP, Enterprise Resilience at Optiv, will discuss lessons from the field and solutions to protect your data from ransomware and cyber-attacks that attempt to replicate throughout the network environment and replicate into your backup environment.

Bruce Hembree, Field CTO, Cortex XDR - Palo Alto Networks

1. You need to be able to look at your organization through the eyes of an attacker to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before your adversaries seek to exploit them. 2. Organizations need to integrate all their security data sources in order to run comprehensive behavioral analytics. 3. All organizations need to ensure that their security teams are spending their precious time on the right threats by automating all repetitive workflows. Don’t put these measures off, only to do the same drill again in two to three months. Use the lessons of these attacks to prepare your infrastructure for the next one. The tools are there now. Deploy them.

Brian Vecci, Field CTO, Varonis

Do you know what really happens behind the scenes when a user creates a new Team in Office 365? (More than you think!) Where do files go when you share them with a Teams channel? (Hint: check SharePoint.) How can an O365 admin see which sensitive files have been shared outside a Team via links? Brian Vecci, Varonis Field CTO, will walk you through the common challenges we see in the field and show you how Varonis can help you get the visibility and control you need to keep O365 data secure and compliant.

Ken Fogalin, Principal Consultant, Optiv

Security Governance is a high-level, complex concept that security leaders agree is necessary to successfully manage and reduce risks. Unfortunately, it often remains theoretical and elusive to implement in a way that helps achieve cybersecurity objectives – many organizations say security governance is more hinderance than help. Diverse viewpoints on what good security governance looks like muddy the waters further. Frameworks, such as COSO, NIST and COBIT, have been trying to help companies implement some level of security governance for more than a decade, yet poor or nonexistent security governance persists – why? This presentation will discuss some common and effective security governance tactics, techniques and procedures with the goal of creating a better understanding of what good security governance looks like and challenges organizations face during implementation, including managing complex stakeholder relationships and why security governance is more than just addressing technical risk or setting rules and expecting compliance.

Sean Tufts, Practice Director, Product Security, ICS & IOT, Optiv

Non-traditional operating systems are driving more complexity into the security landscape. Whether an IP camera at a parking lot, a sensor on a conveyer belt or a control system operating a nuclear reactor, the roles and tasks of these systems need to be monitored by security. Defining and discovering these assets sets a new perimeter…utilizing their data to power an organization safely is the next frontier.

James Turgal, Vice President, Cyber Risk, Strategy & Transformation, Optiv

This presentation will focus on the Nation State threat actors, the current trends in cases like the Solar Winds Intrusion, Ransomware, and the need to build strong public and private partnerships to combat the threat and lower the risk.
