Delivering more Agile, Resilient and Efficient IT with LogicMonitor
Presented by: TBC
The growing pace of digital transformation has made it difficult for business leaders to improve agility and capability while ensuring the value and resilience of their technology.

We’ll then explore an approach where IT can reshape the balance between speed & performance by examining how platform thinking can help reconcile innovation & efficiency.
End-to-End Customer Journeys Optimized for Security and Convenience with Ping Identity
Presented by: Máté Barany, Account Executive, Ping Identity
Businesses have embraced digital to engage with their customers. As quickly as brands have delivered digital experiences, bad actors have been just as fast in figuring out how to use credential stuffing, account takeover, and other types of attacks to their advantage.
Keeping pace in this rapidly evolving threat landscape requires businesses to look for innovative ways to build experiences that optimize both security and convenience. But, ensuring one doesn’t overshadow the other often requires multiple integrations and custom development that adds internal friction and slows down innovation.
A customer identity strategy that expands beyond access management, but includes fraud detection and identity verification capabilities that can seamlessly be orchestrated together can eliminate integration challenges and drive innovation. Join this session to learn Ping Identity’s drag-and-drop approach to customer identity that streamlines bringing together all the tools a business needs to rapidly build, test and optimize end-to-end customer journeys.
A Data Backup Security Perspective: To Help Your CEO Sleep At Night with Bacula Systems
Presented by:Rob Morrison, Co-Founder, Bacula Systems
A CXO typically used to leave the entire aspect of backup and recovery to their IT chiefs. However, after the events of recent years, it is no longer acceptable for an CXO to unquestionably trust their IT Chief that the organization’s data and applications are adequately protected. Instead, more detailed assurances are now required at a higher level.
This presentation helps IT security professionals to be absolutely sure their organization is effectively protected with backup and recovery – from the executive’s perspective.
It also discusses the range of questions and topics a CXO is likely to ask of her/his IT department to ensure that, from the backup and recovery perspective, all reasonable and special measures are correctly in place to protect their organization. The presentation discusses how to correctly exploit one of the main pillars of security and Business Continuity – advanced backup and recovery software – and what the true value is of that to your organization… including allowing your CEO to sleep at night.

YOUR INTERACTIVE ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS
Best Practises in moving from Cyber Security to Cyber Resiliency
Led by: James Blake, EMEA CISO, Cohesity
The impacts of ransomware and wiper attacks seen across the globe demonstrate that our old “wall-and-moat” approach to prevention and detection isn’t working. While at the same time many organisations are struggling build the right operational capability to respond and recover from such a destructive attack in an effective and efficient manner, meaning many simply react rather than respond. Response and recovery from a cyber incident differs from traditional disaster recovery scenarios and in this session we’ll dig deep to understand proven best practices.
- How do we ensure we fully investigate a ransomware attack where much of the evidence is now sat encrypted?
- How can we understand business and regulatory impacts of the data that has been exfiltrated and encrypted?
- What are the best practices for investigation, eradication and recovery to make sure that we don’t restore artefacts from the attack and we’re protected from reoccurrence
Solutions are Out, Outcomes are In
Led by: Paul Brucciani, Head of Product Marketing, WithSecure
Outcome-based services are a product of ‘servitization’ – contracting to deliver outcomes rather than outputs. Light bulb maker Phillips sells light by the hour. Its outcome-based contract with Schiphol Airport has enabled it to make a 50% saving in electricity usage. Servitization saves costs, delivers efficiency and reduces downtime, but could it work in a cyber security market? WithSecure commissioned Forrester to find out and the results surprised us. In this session we’ll share the most interesting findings and discuss how an approach to simplifying security and building resilience could look.
