WELCOME! / Join Cohesity and EPN for a Private C-Suite Dinner

This discussion is about the IT community’s experiences with ransomware attacks. You will have a chance to listen, learn and engage with speakers as they take you through the key steps in protecting yourself against attackers, followed by the official dinner. You will then gain the luxury of debating with your peers, over a sumptuous dinner at The Gherkin, London

As a small group, it will prove an ideal opportunity to find the underlying cause of the problem. This is a great chance to talk in a private group, while still having an opportunity to network.

Before joining Cohesity, Blake was the CISO at Rubrik. Prior to Rubrik, he was the Advisory Chief Information Security Officer for ServiceNow. In both positions he engaged with C-level at FTSE 100 and FORTUNE 100 organizations, helping build and deliver strategies and concepts about improving the effectiveness and efficiency of cyber resilience in today’s operating environment.

AGENDA

18:30 – Arrival at Searcys @ The Gherkin, City of London

18:40 – 18:50 – Chairperson’s Welcoming Remarks by Cohesity

18:50 – 19:00 – Thinking Big Picture: The evolution of the ransomware landscape & what this has meant for organisation’s defenses – Victor Murineanu, IT and Cybersecurity Leader – Chelsea FC

Trends & triumphs of ransomware attackers in the past 2-5 years Today’s organizations discuss the preventions of Ransomware and potential breaches, but the real discussion should be around: Assuming the breach – how can you minimize the impact of it Risk Assessment – Assessing technology developments that have helped protect & respond to ransom attacks & how far we have to go to keep up How can your strategies remain agile & contend with the ever-evolving threat landscape? Ransomware continues to be the primary threat to cyber resilience and new variants that are undetectable continue to emerge

19:00 – 19:30 – Scaling Up From Cyber Security to Cyber Resiliency – James Blake, EMEA CISO – Cohesity

Hear the lessons drawn from working firsthand with dozens of enterprise victims of ransomware and wiper attacks across the globe, despite some of them having invested significant dollars annually on cyber security. In this session, we’ll look at why the legacy approach to cyber security has failed to prevent crippling ransomware impacts, and look forward to how organisations can truly deliver cyber resilience. This includes pragmatic steps to leverage your existing IT infrastructure to de-risk security projects, improve time-to-value, and mitigate cyber risk.

19:30 – 22:00 – Interactive Q&A Discussion Group

Debate with your fellow thought leaders & unearth transformative solutions
