ISSA-LA Security Summit 2024

In today's rapidly evolving cyber landscape, the gap between company boards and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) is more pronounced than ever. Boards focus on strategic growth, risk management, and financial performance, while CISOs prioritize safeguarding digital assets, ensuring compliance, and mitigating cybersecurity threats. These differing perspectives create communication challenges and misaligned priorities that can leave organizations vulnerable. This presentation explores the root causes of this disconnect, including differing risk appetites, communication styles, and objectives. It will offer actionable strategies to bridge the divide, foster mutual understanding, and align cybersecurity with overall business goals, ensuring both parties can work synergistically for the organization's success.

Corporate culture in America is fraught with the stifling of creativity. The fear of failure is preventing many from reaching their full potential. It is time for all of us to embrace stretching the envelope and getting uncomfortable. We all have so much to offer, that will lead to innovation and better ways to solve problems, if only our culture would stop judging and beating down good ideas that just happen to fail. We will learn more from failure than success, and until we can get past that fear of failure, we will never realize our full potentials.

The once clear-cut world of cybersecurity is now a complex maze of data breaches and privacy regulation that has caused a surge in litigation and enforcement.
 
The culprit? Data and information.
 
The Economist declared that the world’s most valuable resource is not oil but data. Data can be used for marketing and advertising, medical care, banking and finance, hospitality, product development, and anywhere business intelligence and the delivery of products and services are needed.
 
However, as businesses develop ways to monetize this data, CISOs and leaders are under tremendous pressure to protect sensitive data from misuse and theft. What data is collected, stored and secured, used, and disposed of is currently under scrutiny by regulators, governments, and litigators.
 
This presentation will explore the alarming shift from the server room to the courtroom as we face the new adversaries of the digital age - regulators and litigators. We'll delve into the challenges of litigation response in DFIR, the intricacies of e-discovery, and the current regulatory landscape. We'll also enable you with the latest strategies and skills that CISOs must adopt to survive in the courtroom. Join us for a journey through the changing legal terrain for CISOs and leadership, where the threats moved from hackers in hoodies to those in suits and ties.

Come hear the experiences and advice of a panel of Cybersecurity Leaders, as they share their insights on important topics that keep them up at night.
