Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit

6 – 8 October 2021 | Tokyo, Japan

Enabling Innovation:
Secure the Future. Manage Risk.
Build Resiliency.

Recent global events have shown that innovation is essential for enterprises to survive and flourish. But accelerating digital innovation brings new complexity and risk.

As a security and risk management leader, you can enable your enterprise to embrace the technologies of tomorrow, today — and do it in the safest possible manner. You can help your colleagues understand the risks inherent in digital initiatives so that they can realize the benefits of innovation securely. And you play a key role in making sure that security resilience is built-in from the start.

Join Gartner experts and your peers at Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2021, October 6–8, Tokyo, Japan,  to share valuable insights on establishing an effective, risk-based cybersecurity program that enables digital innovation to seize the opportunities of the digital future.

Business

2021 has already seen business transformation through technology gain momentum, and it demands that security & risk management leaders fulfill the role to continuously enable a more secure future. This year’s summit will help you with recommendations on how to weigh the risks posed by digital technology and to ensure your organization’s resiliency in the future, and explore security approach required for the innovation era.
