What Will Next-Gen Cloud Look Like? Is Security Keeping Pace With Digital Transformation?
Abstract: This panel will discuss the digital transformation journey from infrastructure as a service, to serverless computing, to platform as a service and how enterprise security teams can surf the wave of change as an integral partner with the business and IT.
– How do you overcome the unique challenges of protecting a multi-cloud environment?
– Velocity of risk is higher with SaaS, so how are you bringing together functions that previously didn’t sit together – dev, ops, sec — with seamless response patterns to build resilience?
– Security can fuel innovation versus hamper it: Zero Trust architecture improving user experience, speed to innovate, for example.
– How can we increase visibility that helps ensure security is keeping pace with our digital transformation journeys?

Why is Cybersecurity So Hard? 20 Years of Trying and Billions of Dollars: Why Are We Still Struggling?
Abstract: If it were measured as a country, cybercrime inflict damages would be in the range of $6 trillion USD globally in 2021 — the world’s third-largest economy after the U.S. and China.
The cybersecurity market grew by roughly 35x over the last decade and VCs predict global spending on cybersecurity products and services will exceed $1 trillion cumulatively over the five-year period from 2017 to 2021. Why are we failing to address the problem? What would be a new approach or paradigm to change the game?

Discuss CISA’s BOD 22-01 and the Risk of Not Taking Action against Log4J and other Exploited Vulnerabilities
Abstract: NSA and CISA value public-private partnerships to deliver cybersecurity outcomes. CISA’s recent Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01 advises federal departments and agencies on Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities. The directive establishes a CISA-managed catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities that carry significant risk. Log4J is at the top of that list. Let’s discuss the risk and decision-space of taking, or not taking, action against known vulnerabilities.
