CISO Forum Canada 2021

We invest resources in capturing logs from our network and analyzing these for patterns and trends. As this data improves our response times and controls, the team at Penfield  takes the data game in cybersecurity to another level.

Penfield is the industry’s first human-machine intelligence platform, modelling Cybersecurity Analysts actions and processes in real time. What does your SOC team's behaviour tell you about the tools and techniques at their disposal? Join us for a riveting keynote on human-machine intelligence.

The demands of rapid, enterprise wide digital transformation raise critical security considerations. In this session, we bring insight from various industries and understand how Zscaler's leading industry technologies have protected organizations in multiple industries against a new wave of threats and challenges.

With strict budget controls, shifting work positions and novel behaviours, credential sharing happens more often than we think of. What drives some of this behaviour and how can authentication tools and policies protect against vulnerabilities?

Join us as some of the leading cybersecurity professionals in Canada provide their perspective from the field!

IAM best practices are not just a matter of technology alone. It must be accompanied by policy. In this session , we explore how these practices intersect and provide insight into developing your IAM practices in a concentrated manner that ensures adoption and buy in from the enterprise at large. Join us and learn from the field!

There is no one soc fits all solution. So how do you determine what type of soc is best for your work? Hitting straight to the point, this discussion reviews the evolution of the SOC and compares multiple ways to successfully deploy your SOC and integrate it within your wider service offering.

As a modern-day CISO, your number one priority is to keep your users safe. Achieving this requires you to address the competing needs of security, privacy, and convenience. In the security industry, everybody believed that to be secure; something couldn’t be convenient. Security and convenience functioned only in opposition. Making access hard was the best way to keep info safe. This presentation will explore ways to deliver a secure experience to your customers without compromising the end-user experience by taking a user-first approach to MFA.

We need diversity of thought and skill to combat the evolving field of cybersecurity. What does neurodiversity lend to this need and how can cybersecurity leaders better understand its applications? In the first of its kind discussion ever at CISO Forum Canada, join us for a panel which brings neuroscience to the cybersecurity discussion table!

How are insider threats created and what factors, internal and external, contribute to it? In this session, we explore the human element of what drives insider threats and discuss procedural strategies to combat them.

It is not just what you know but who you know. We get it. But how do today's cybersecurity leaders build their network amidst the heavy demands. From acting as mentors to shadowing a coach, growing opportunities to shaping the next talent, where do you get started in Canada and craft your own path? Let's peer into some lived experiences and get perspective and tips from the field.

The lucractive "dark" side of the web holds strong appeal to many technically proficient individuals and groups. In this session, we peer into the motivations of these gangs and bring a criminology perspective to the table. Join us for another novel discussion as we bring you to think about cybersecurity in a way you proabably have not before.

Can cybersecurity be entirely automated? Aren't we already there in some regards? Lets hear from cybersecurity leaders on their views around automation and how it is influencing critical decisions in monitoring and response practices.

As more unique identifiers make their way into autentication protocols, the privacy eye cannot look away. There are questions around data transfer, storage and exchange which are being asked globally. Let's hear the Canadian perspective from leading individuals in the field!

Certificate-related outages, whether from expired or misconfigured or unknown TLS certificates, are the bane of digital transformation. Perfectly functioning applications and services can be rendered inoperable. Worse still the security controls you rely on, from traffic inspection devices to web application firewalls, can’t protect you when a certificate-related outage shuts them down. In this session, we’ll share real-world examples of outages and the approaches that Venafi customers have taken to eliminate them in their organizations for good.

CISOs must lead their teams of today and prepare the teams of tomorrow. Join us for an inagural session at CISO Forum Canada with young, aspiring cybersecurity leaders and hear what they have to say to today's CISOs.

There are more ways than one to prove your identity and the shift away from passwords is proof of this. However, how do you make the transition into a passwordless world? What are some of the considerations and best practices? Learn more from industry experts

Cybersecurity can also be learnt through play and games. Join us for a digitzed table top exercise that gives special powers to a select few as they face a common, dangerously strong adversary!
