STRONGER 2021 Tracks

Frameworks and Standards – Tuesday, September 28, 2021

With the rapid shift of regulatory requirements, gold-standard frameworks that guide the ongoing development of a security program have never been more important. In the Frameworks & Standards track, we dive into how organizations can take a holistic approach to risk and compliance management using frameworks to bridge the gap between technical and business leadership.

Security and Risk – Wednesday, September 29, 2021

To succeed in the digital age, risk must shift from a reactive to a proactive function within the organization. Enabled by real-time risk solutions and a wave of demand at the Board level for cyber and IT risk insights, security and risk teams are shifting their relationship from siloed to integrated. In this track, we explore the new age of cyber and IT risk management and how security teams can leverage new data coming from risk teams.

CISOs in the Boardroom and Beyond – Thursday, September 30, 2021

In this track, we dive into the soft skills that technical leaders haven’t historically focused on, but are absolute necessities in the digital age. From cultivating business relationships to presenting their security posture in a business context, security leaders have to straddle business and technology in ways we’ve never seen before. These sessions will empower you with the skills necessary to build essential relationships and enhance communication across the enterprise while leading a technical business function.
