Zero Trust is more than a buzzword—it’s a mindset shift that reshapes how organizations protect assets. In this session, digital transformation and cybersecurity expert Amy Yee presents a clear, actionable roadmap for adopting Zero Trust. You’ll explore foundational principles and organizational drivers, learn how to assess maturity and identify quick wins, and understand common pitfalls—like fragmented identity policies—before they derail your progress.

Amy dives into key ingredients: identity security, supply chain resilience, essential cross-team conversations, and navigating blockers/enablers. Packed with real-world examples and practical exercises, this talk will leave CISOs, IT leaders, and security teams equipped to design, implement, and sustain a Zero Trust strategy that scales with business needs.

Financial services remain prime targets for sophisticated cyber adversaries who leverage deception tactics to evade detection, manipulate trust, and exploit cognitive vulnerabilities. This session explores the intersection of cyber threat intelligence and behavioral profiling to dissect adversaries’ modus operandi in FinServ attacks. Attendees will gain insights into how psychological manipulation and adversarial adaptation shape modern cyber threats—equipping security teams with proactive strategies to detect, disrupt, and mitigate deceptive cyber campaigns.

As AI becomes a cornerstone of innovation across industries, the importance of robust data security has never been more critical. This presentation will explore the essential role of data security in enabling the widespread adoption of AI technologies. Attendees will gain insights into how safeguarding sensitive data builds trust, ensures compliance, and mitigates risks in AI systems. We’ll discuss real-world challenges that encompass data breaches, privacy concerns, and ethical considerations while highlighting strategies to secure data pipelines that promote trustworthy AI deployment.

Join us as we dive into several of the top concerns in Financial Services. From deep web cards to BECs, ransomware, and more! Bring your questions for the panel.

The term Chief Information Security Officer, or CISO, is one that is often defined incorrectly. Many people assume that a CISO is part of the career step, or stop, toward becoming a world-class security engineer. It’s often said the way you become a CISO is to be a security engineer for 10 years and get promoted—but that is all wrong. It is a broken model and why many companies struggle with defining the role of the CISO. A CISO is, by all definitions, a Chief Officer (CO) with a focus and obsession for Information Security (IS). Thus, a true CISO is a CO with an emphasis on IS.

In this talk, Dr. Eric Cole breaks down how we got here, why the old CISO model is broken, what we can do, and what you can do to become a better CO IS for yourself and your organization. Whatever your title, you will come away invigorated to rethink your role in security leadership!

Breaches, ransomware, and AI-driven attacks are exposing the flaws of outdated perimeter defenses. Discover how Zero Trust Architecture can transform your cybersecurity strategy while unlocking better insurance outcomes! Marsh & McLennan’s recent report reveals that nearly $500 billion in annual cyber losses could be prevented with Zero Trust and robust cyber hygiene.

This session will empower you to:

• Minimize the impact of CVE’s and prevent breaches, while leveraging Zero Trust
• Reduce cyber insurance claims and losses with proactive defense
• Deductive analysis to secure more favorable cyber insurance policies

Attendees will learn how adopting zero trust network access enhances security posture and results in more favorable cyber insurance policies including:

• Preventing one third of cyber incidents
• Cutting breach costs by over 20%
• Reducing insured loss by up to 31%
