Cyber Insurance: What Does It Look Like Today and Where Will It Be in the Next 2-3 Years?
Abstract:
Cyber Insurance is a difficult area for many CISOs to address. As questions regarding the value of cyber policies continue to surface, how sustainable are strict policy terms and conservative pricing for the long term? In addition, what role should the insurance industry play in supporting effective cyber resilience? In this panel we will discuss the current state of Cyber Insurance, and consider as we look to the future, how collaboration and partnerships between the insurance industry, government and Risk Executives may be able to reduce systemic cyber risk, thus changing the landscape of heightened risk management and the overall role of cyber insurance.

Edna Conway, VP, Security & Risk Officer, Azure Hardware Systems & Infrastructure, Microsoft
Deanna Muran de Assereto, Managing Director – Deputy Chief Security Officer, OCC
Susan Chiang, Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, Cloudflare

What Past Geo-Political Events Can Teach Us About Current and Future Cyber Threats
Abstract:
Risk Executives have had numerous responsibilities and pressures prior to, during, and after Covid. Now with the war in Ukraine, the increasing volatility with China, and other concerns with Iran, South Korea, and other nonfriendly U.S. nations, they must stay abreast of geo-political matters indirectly or directly affecting our supply chains, increasing state-sponsored attacks, and in particular for multinational conglomerate corporations who have holdings in foreign nations. BODs will also be looking for sage counsel on how to best manage risk amongst these growing concerns.

Benefits and Challenges of IT & OT Convergence
Abstract: Converging IT and OT security is no longer an option to properly defend corporate industrial networks; it is a requirement. Companies not actively embracing a holistic, converged security model are finding it increasingly expensive to obtain cyber insurance and are likely to soon find policies unobtainable.

The principal target of sophisticated attackers is OT/ICS for critical infrastructure. IT and OT are usually connected in some way. Ensuring there are no gaps in defenses is essential (for example: Typical to patch effectively in IT, but patch much less effectively in OT).

Supply Chain Security: Real-World Strategies for Cyber Risk Management of 3rd and 4th Parties
Abstract: The importance of supply chain risk management continues to increase in its criticality across industries, especially in the wake of recent third- and fourth-party attacks that have highlighted the need for software assurances as well as a deep understanding of the inner workings of what goes into software. But beyond software itself, service providers, trusted partners, and the ecosystems they belong to form a web of interconnected relationships that introduce risk when one of those links are compromised. Through real-world examples and industry best practices, this panel will leave attendees with a better understanding of how to build more resilient supply chains.

1.  How can organizations effectively assess their third- and fourth-party vendor ecosystem and identify supply chain dependencies?
2.  What are trends in supply chain attacks and what defense strategies have proven effective?
3.  How can organizations build an effective culture of security within their supply chain organization and vendor ecosystem?
4.  How can organizations gain assurances from their third- and fourth-party vendor ecosystem and what is the current and future value of independent certifications?

Enhancing Critical Infrastructure Protection Through a Zero Trust Model
Abstract:
The concept of Zero Trust dominates conversations across the security landscape and has even become part of the federal government’s focus through President Biden’s ‘Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity’ and OMB Memorandum M-22-09, ‘Federal Zero Trust Strategy’. This panel discussion will highlight the nexus between the three disciplines of IT, OT, and physical security in the pursuit of zero trust across the 16 defined critical infrastructure sectors. Employing the concept of ‘never trust, always verify’, without addressing security in all three disciplines is a strategy doomed to fail and this panel of experts will discuss how zero trust can be effectively employed in critical infrastructure environments.
