What Do Today’s Cyber Enforcement and Liability Trends Mean for CISOs & Other Executives? With Aravind Swaminathan, Global Co-Chair Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP

The SEC’s enforcement action against Solar Winds and its Chief Information Security Officer Tim Brown is one data point in a trend of regulators putting their sights directly on information security and technology executives. It follows on the DOJ’s prosecution and conviction of Joe Sullivan, Uber’s former Chief Security Officer, and the FTC’s consent decree against Drizly’s Chief Executive Officer James Cory Rellas. The landscape is changing fast – and there’s even more happening behind the scenes. Security professionals need to understand:

– What key regulators are currently focused on and how they are identifying potential targets for further investigations (e.g., sweeps, notice letters, informal inquiries, etc.)
– Regulatory changes by prominent regulatory agencies (e.g., SEC, FTC, NYDFS) and what these represent
– Steps that information security professionals should consider taking now, to stay ahead of the regulators and protect themselves

11:55 AM – 12:25 PM

Update From Tim Brown: Current Situation and Future Outlook with Tim Brown, VP Security and CISO, SolarWinds

SaaS Attack Patterns and IOCs: Best Practices for Securing Your SaaS Estate with Brendan O’Connor, CEO, AppOmni

We will discuss common attacker TTPs, the SaaS threat landscape, and how security leaders can enhance their evaluation of risk towards their organizations and share lessons learned from recent breaches including Snowflake, Okta, Sisense, and GitHub.

We will exchange perspectives on the shared responsibility model for SaaS security and opportunities for collaboration between security teams and business owners to secure the SaaS applications that now power the enterprise. I will also offer an early look at AppOmni’s 2024 State of SaaS Security survey and report with respondents from over 640 global enterprises. In addition, we will review ideas on how zero trust architectures can extend to SaaS applications, and best practices to secure your SaaS estate based on lessons learned from enterprises with hundreds of applications and thousands of internal and external users.

SINET Working Group on Defining Cybersecurity Risk Appetite Within an Interconnected Risk Management Framework with Kirsten Davies, CISO, Unilever and George Smirnoff, MD, Global Information Security, Compliance and Operational Risk Executive, Bank of America

An effective Cybersecurity Risk Appetite is one that is integrated into a cybersecurity risk program that enables the organization to be forward-looking and proactively adjust its risk posture across the cybersecurity risk domain, inclusive of related interconnected risks and business processes, to avoid material breaches.

The SINET Handbook on Defining Cybersecurity Risk Appetite Within an Interconnected Risk Management Framework (currently in draft) will provide an approach based on five core components: (1) Building a foundation based on top-down business objectives and a bottom-up risk and control framework; (2) Differentiating between maintaining the risk profile and proactively managing the risk where it is changing; (3) Managing cybersecurity risk as an interconnect risk across other risk domains; (4) Defining financial and non-financial, quantitative and qualitative measures; and (5) Establishing forward-looking and proactive triggers for management engagement.
