Tracks at a Glance

Actionable insights across four key focus areas

Track A

Management & Leadership

Prioritizing decisions related to unknown risks and known exposures is a constant challenge in the face of changing business priorities and external pressures. Sessions in this program equip security and risk management leaders with strategies and action plans to set expectations with their teams, business, and third parties. These sessions will discuss top security and risk management trends in 2020, leadership vision for actionable change, and ‘practical use’ versus ‘hype’ use cases for risk quantification.

Track B

Digital Risk Management

Digital business requires risk professionals to look beyond existing risk registers. New trends, such as shifting risk assessment to frontline defense, privacy and complex third-party risks, demand new governance models. To tackle these new challenges, risk leaders can leverage new digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation (RPA). Attend the Digital Risk Management program to discover new ideas and tools to innovate your risk management practices and form action plans.

Track C

Technology & Architecture

Effective security controls consist of a combination of people, processes and technology. The number of security product and service solutions in the market is truly staggering and is complicated by the evolving range of delivery models. This program will provide insights into the security markets, best practices in adopting and using technology solutions, the potential of new and emerging technologies, and how to architect complex solutions based on a variety of delivery models.
