Additional sessions will cover identity, cloud security and authentication.
Session details include:
Should Identity Be at the Core of Your Security Strategy?
Who/Topic:
It’s no secret that approaches to identity and access management
(IAM) have evolved rapidly over the last several years to meet the
changes in how companies transact business and the rapidly growing
threat of a breach. During this session, Aubrey Turner, client solutions
advisor, IAM, will explain why it is important to put identity at the
core of any security strategy and how to achieve success by leveraging
existing cyber security assets.
When/Where: Monday, June 19
from 4:15 – 4:40 p.m. CDT, Ballroom
Commandeering Cloud Environments with Secure Identities
Who/Topic:
The proliferation of cloud applications and services will only
become more feverish as organizations embrace many of the technology
trends available today. Businesses must operate in a world without
boundaries. Dan Olivares, senior director, cloud security, will lead
this session focused on how companies can take control of the explosion
of cloud applications and services by applying a programmatic approach
to cloud security with secure identities at the crux of the matter.
When/Where: Tuesday,
June 20 from 9:30 – 9:55 a.m. CDT, Chicago Ballroom VIII
CISO Perspective: Your IAM Strategy Needs a Risk-Based Approach
Who/Topic: Historically,
IAM services were tasked with establishing capabilities focused on
provisioning technologies and operations managing access to critical
information. With time, organizations often struggled to meet growing
compliance demands and continued to deploy point solutions to support
distinct applications and systems requirements. This session, led by
Dawn-Marie Hutchinson, executive director, office of the CISO, will
address the requirements of a business-aligned IAM strategy that will
ultimately help reduce business risk and improve overall operational
efficiency.
When/Where: Tuesday, June 20 from 2:30 – 2:55
p.m. CDT, Chicago Ballroom VIII
Securing the Customer Experience
Who/Topic: Customer-focused
organizations continue to mature in their approach to customer
management, enabling functions like an easy registration process,
streamlined authentication, application access provisioning and
delegated administration of the customer’s own people. Janel Schalk,
senior director, strategic consulting, will share how security
professionals can secure customer experience and data through focused
customer identity and access management (CIAM).
When/Where: Tuesday,
June 20 from 4:20 – 4:40 p.m. CDT, Chicago Ballroom VIII
The Risks of Authentication
Who/Topic: This expert
panel featuring Dawn-Marie Hutchinson will explore how some
organizations approach and implement authentication actually may
increase risk to the business. Attendees of this session will hear new
and emerging recommended techniques to deal with those risks and how to
appropriately execute successful authentication programs.
When/Where: Tuesday,
June 20 from 4:20 – 5:20 p.m. CDT, Superior Room
Identity Defined Security
Who/Topic: Bryan Wiese,
vice president and general manager, IAM, will join an expert panel
discussion focused on how identity and security are growing ever closer
together, technically and operationally; and explore how this can help
provide better security and improved customer experience.
When/Where:
Wednesday, June 21 from 5:30 – 6:00 p.m. CDT, Ballroom
Security in a Volatile Landscape
Who/Topic: With
continuous industry transformations being the new norm, the technology
landscape has never been more difficult to secure. Businesses are
bringing on new cloud applications to compete in a global marketplace
and users are bringing their own devices that share identities, data and
applications. For security professionals looking for solutions, the
answer is no longer in just having the latest security technologies. In
this keynote presentation, Richard Bird will provide insight into the
major themes and trends from Optiv’s extensive network of clients, CISOs
