In this fireside chat, Dr Kevin Jones, Group CISO, Airbus, explains why the age-old expression, “Humans are the weakest link”, is a myth that must be broken. Instead, we need to adopt human centric approaches to cybersecurity that make humans the last line of defense.

In this session, Jones will discuss:

• How to create a human centric cybersecurity program that makes humans the last line of defense
• What capabilities and priorities are needed to create and weave a culture of security into your organization
• How threat intelligence fits into a mature security practice and how to use it effectively

The world pandemic has led to new principles for cybersecurity leadership. With an increasing attack surface due to hybrid work, digitization and the move to the cloud, perimeter-based approaches to security are obsolete. Leadership and better corporate governance are two parts of the same journey to achieve Cyber Resilience via Zero Trust.

We will be discussing these issues with Georges de Moura, Head of Industry Solutions-Cyber Resilience at the World Economic Forum. During the discussion we will cover the following topics:

• What are the key principles of Cyber Resilience in a Post Pandemic World ?
• What is the role of cybersecurity Leadership in creating a culture of cyber-security for the enterprise?
• How do we use Zero Trust approaches to boost resilience, and what is the role of Leadership here?
• Outside our own organization, how do we ensure the cybersecurity of our supply chains?
• How can Cybersecurity leaders enable boards to understand cybersecurity risk in a business context?

Supply chain risk. Multi-cloud environments. ‘Work from Anywhere.’ It’s a challenging time for CISOs, and none knows it better than veteran cybersecurity leader Troels Oerting, former head of Global Centre of Cybersecurity at the World Economic Forum. In this exclusive session, Oerting offers his unique perspective on topics including:

• Today’s most dangerous threats
• The broad impact of the Solar Winds attack and how to respond
• How to adjust security to protect the ‘Work from Anywhere’ world

2020 was a volatile year in the marketplace, and 2021 promises more of the same, with mergers and acquisitions dominating the news. But what often gets overlooked in the mix - even by those who know better - is cybersecurity. In this session, Joe Martinez, a veteran CISO with M&A experience, discusses:

• How to balance competing challenges in M&A
• Major milestones in the process
• How to assess risk in a company when you have limited visibility

Finding a balance between a pleasant user experience and stringent security requirements can be a challenge. If you do not find the right balance, users may revolt! This was especially true when Adobe, like you, were faced with the major shift towards more remote and hybrid work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, when the pandemic first started and the world began shutting down, we had to move the entire Adobe workforce of more than 22,000 global employees to remote work over a single weekend. Such a massive change all at once requires network security controls that can readily adapt.

Adobe was well-prepared for this change thanks in part to our investment in what we call “Project ZEN.” Project ZEN is an internal initiative at Adobe based upon zero-trust principles. Since there is no “off-the-shelf” solution to fully deliver on these principles, ZEN consists of pioneering technology and policies to make the path to a zero-trust network more efficient and attainable. This effort enabled us to deliver on a more novel approach to managing our user encounters and authentication across the company – increasing security while improving the overall user experience.

In this session Eric Anderson, Director of Enterprise Security at Adobe, will talk about the benefits of a zero-trust approach to network security, our path to Project ZEN, and the benefits we have seen, including how it helped us better navigate the big changes in how our people work precipitated by the pandemic. Eric will provide insights from our experience here at Adobe in building and deploying zero-trust networking that you can use to help improve how your own organizations approach the new hybrid and remote work reality.

When CNA Financial – a top U.S. insurance company – was struck by ransomware a year ago, it reportedly paid $40 million in ransom to restore access to its network and data. How do record-high ransomware incidents – and ransoms – affect the cyber insurance sector? What are the emerging standards for coverage, as well as legislative trends affecting the practice?

This exclusive panel tackles these questions as well as:

• Proving cyber insurance value; 
• Partnering to build resiliency; 
• The rising bar for entities to qualify for cyber insurance.
