Dimitri Sirota, CEO, BigID
Abstract: New privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA are sweeping the globe. In APAC, regulations such as Australia’s CDR, Singapore’s PDPA, and the Phillipine Privacy Act are requiring companies to know their data in ways that were previously impossible. As a result, companies now have to:
● Identify all their personal information --not just PII
● Classify that data but equally important correlate that data to a person to meet individual data access and deletion rights
● Look across all their data stores not just their relational databases and file shares
● Automate privacy tasks like fulfilling personal data rights.
In this session, BigID’s CEO, Dimitri Sirota will show how ML-driven discovery and privacy automation can help companies overcome these challenges to achieve sustainable compliance with current and emerging privacy legislation.
Whether you're just beginning to use cloud or are well on your way, these conference sessions will help you improve your cloud and infrastructure strategies and tactics for 2020 and beyond:

Omnichannel is an utopia that could never be achieved and a red herring for what customer experience really needs to solve.

In the digital era, where multitasking across touchpoints and modalities is common, a multiexperience strategy is needed.

An “unintegrated digital business” is simply an oxymoron. Digitization empowers organizations to innovate and disrupt but also entails tackling integration issues in a daunting array of applications, data, APIs, mobile, ecosystems and “things”.

Key issues:
● What are the trends that will lead CIOs to an integration business utility strategy?
● How will CIOs establish a versatile and cost-effective integration service platform — the hybrid integration platform?
● How will CIOs set up an integration strategy empowerment team to provide best-in-class integration services to the business?

As business leaders become more digitally dexterous, they take on a growing share of digital delivery responsibilities. Currently, 44% of digital team leaders report directly to business areas. Demand for key technology skills such as RPA, AI and Data Science is currently higher outside IT (in sales, marketing, R&D, engineering, and other groups) than inside IT departments. These changes portend a significant evolution in the CIO role from service delivery to digital orchestration--architecting and managing cross-cutting platforms and common ways of working across distributed digital business teams. In this session, we’ll illustrate this evolution with concrete examples of real-world CIOs that are changing their focus and responsibilities to accelerate digital transformation and enable distributed digital delivery.

To support digital transformation, CIOs are increasingly organizing IT work and priorities around “product lines” rather than projects, and moving to continuous delivery. IT product line management offers the speed, flexibility and business outcomes orientation necessary to compete in the digital era. But doing it at a scale requires a very significant evolution in how IT funds and resources are worked. In this session, we’ll discuss examples of how leading CIOs have made the case to the CFO and other C-Suite leaders for changes required to support a product line transformation in IT.

Come join us as we describe a digital future ruled by ecosystems and what you should do about it.

Three main paths to building enterprise capacity include recognizing business teams’ autonomy, lowering technical barriers and building business teams’ expertise. See how progressive midsize companies tap into the potential of enterprise capacity.

Digital business transformation is shifting the focus of technology delivery from IT to digital business teams — those outside the traditional IT function who use data or technology to achieve business outcomes. Yet IT’s traditional approaches to governing technology initiatives are often too heavyweight and hinder these teams’ ability to deliver value.

Abstract: New privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA are sweeping the globe. In APAC, regulations such as Australia’s CDR, Singapore’s PDPA, and the Phillipine Privacy Act are requiring companies to know their data in ways that were previously impossible. As a result, companies now have to:
● Identify all their personal information --not just PII
● Classify that data but equally important correlate that data to a person to meet individual data access and deletion rights
● Look across all their data stores not just their relational databases and file shares
● Automate privacy tasks like fulfilling personal data rights.
In this session, BigID’s CEO, Dimitri Sirota will show how ML-driven discovery and privacy automation can help companies overcome these challenges to achieve sustainable compliance with current and emerging privacy legislation.
