Adopting Zero Trust for Security & Resilience

Sponsored by: Netskope
Speaker(s): Jerich Beason, CISO, WM
Moderated by: Brandon Taylor, Digital Editorial Program Manager, InformationWeek

The ongoing evolution of the modern digital landscape has seemingly birthed never-ending cyber threats and malicious actors that continue to become more complex and frequent, meaning traditional perimeter-based security models will leave vulnerable cracks in your network’s foundation for adversaries. In this keynote session, a security expert will discuss the core components of zero trust that can empower organizations to meet modern security demands for network infrastructure. Learn implementation methods that will enhance your security posture by continuously validating every user, device, and application—regardless of location.

Speaker(s): Tony DeBos, Global Leader for GRC, Data Risk and (Responsible) AI, Kyndryl
Moderated by: Kelly Jackson Higgins, EIC, Dark Reading

Protecting sensitive data requires knowing where it resides and how it’s accessed and shared, but not all organizations have full visibility into that level of detail, especially as data crisscrosses the cloud and on-premise systems. Comprehensive data security entails fully mapping enterprise data and applying the appropriate data governance and security controls. In this keynote session, a data security expert will discuss how to ensure data is properly secured using encryption, segmentation, and other layers of protection, and how to apply data discovery posture management for ongoing, resilient data security.
