Steering Cultural Change
An IT executive's role, goals and objectives have drastically changed over the years. Most leaders supervise teams and units beyond their IT department. Due to these changes in responsibilities, their success is measured in greater business metrics. As a result, these roles have become both more attractive and more demanding.
Takeaways:
- What are the significant changes regarding the role of the IT Executive
- How to keep up with the changing requirements

Case Studies in Digital Transformation: Learnings Along the Journey
We will explore key learnings from various industries and verticals on the good, the bad and the ugly of digital transformation. We will have an opportunity to not only be exposed to successful use cases, but also ask the hard questions behind those successes.
Takeaways:
- One of the best ways to learn is to hear the stories of success (and failure) from companies similar to yours
- Asking questions of HOW the journey unfolded are just as important as the end result

Interoperability - New Rules for Data Sharing and Information Blocking - Example 21st Century Cures Act
The omnibus 21st Century Cures Act (Act). Enacted in 2016, the Act included interoperability requirements to enable the secure exchange and use of electronic health information by consumers through a "trusted framework" in a more patient-friendly manner. The mobile technology and protocols to make this happen are already in use in the retail, banking and travel industries. Recently the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) published the ONC Cures Act Final Rule. The 21st Century Cures Act: Interoperability, Information Blocking, and the ONC Health IT Certification Program Final Rule set a path forward to make data more accessible and sharable. The rule sets new requirements such as patients access to data, API enabled interoperability, penalties for information blocking and more. The rule also establishes timelines to enable the new requirements.
Takeaways:
- Advantages of interoperability and the rule for the stakeholder.
- How does this data move today and how does the new rule help or hinder existing infrastructure and data flows?
- Are the timelines realistic and what should stakeholders be starting to think about now?
- Given mobile technology and protocols to make this happen are already in use in the retail, banking and travel industries, why has this not yet happened in healthcare?

It's Not If - But When: Managing a Breach and Coming Out Stronger
Time is of the essence when your organization experiences a breach. Minutes could mean millions of dollars. Are you confident you can stop the bleeding while quickly educating your organization on best practices? How do you gain better and quicker visibility of what is happening across your environment with the analytics and detection capabilities to recover from the breach. Then using that information, come out the other side as a security team with the right tools in your hand to reduce future risk?
Takeaways:
- Learn how to garner the right visibility, in the right context, to defend what matters most
- Hear real-world examples of companies who battled risk and became stronger
- Find out what it takes to link your security strategy with your business priorities

Think Tank
Technology Leadership: Killing Technology Dinosaurs
In today's world, we are all technologists and our experiences shape our relationship with technology. As we interact with the world and each other, we often don't realize how the technologies we use behave as extensions of our own bodies. One don't have to think about the individual keys to press, our fingers merely type the words you are thinking. But that same keyboard becomes a technology dinosaur compared to alternatives when you're out walking and need to send a text message. The confusion for some of us is that there are technologies we can clearly tag as dinosaurs to kill off, while other technologies are dinosaurs only in certain situations.
Key takeaways:
- Find technology dinosaurs hidden among us
- Make a bold statement that inspires innovation
- Know if you're the right person to drive change
- Driving innovation while killing off some rather nasty technology dinosaurs holding you back.

Cybersecurity And COVID-19: BAU or Full On Crisis?
Who would have guessed that in the year 2020, the world would be brought to its collective knees because of a bat virus? Even worse, the world reacted prudently to safeguard lives by shuttering businesses and quarantining personnel. But with this action, new cybersecurity risks were (potentially) created for those organizations that attempted to stay open and allow workers to remotely connect.
This Think Tank conversation will seek to explore lessons learned from each participant to include examining the following topics.
What worked and didn't work?
- What was the most difficult aspect of switching to having all employee's work from home?
- What risks did you leave on the table while rapidly switching to near 100% remote connectivity?
- Did you utilize cloud technology and if so, for what areas?
- If you have your own SOC, how did you protect employees especially before CDC guidance arrived?
- Did you have MFA already employed or are you considering MFA now?
- How are you mitigating home network related risks encroaching upon the corporate network?
- If you are a multi-nation company, how did you handle security operations overseas?
12:20 pm - 12:40 pm

Thought Leadership
Is your WFH Setup Secured?
As we all know, the current Covid-19 situation has forced many organizations to quickly adopt remote work capabilities for their employees. In the months and years ahead, experts say remote work will only become more prevalent. With that in mind; I believe Securing your remote work environment has become more critical than ever before. This session will cover how you could secure your Work From Home (WFH) setup, and will provid details on the security controls you need to secure your overall remote work environment.
Take-aways:
- Security controls for Home Network
- Security controls for Corporate Network

Think Tank
Today's digital evolution will take major enterprises twice as long and cost twice as much as initially anticipated. Companies will struggle with digital innovation as they realize the associated challenges, and the true cost of modernization. As such, leaders in smaller and more agile organizations have a great opportunity to be first to market, while those in larger organizations suffer through uninspiring, and potentially career limiting, short term results.
Takeaways:
- How to deal with the fact that digital innovation is not cheap or quick
- Strategies for success in implementation planning
- Lessons learned from smaller organizations, where they have an easier time testing out new technology
