Fallen victim to a breach yet? Realistically every organisation will fall victim at some point or another. Will your attacker be able to identify and exploit a weak spot? Minimizing the “blast radius” and controlling the spread of an inevitable cyber security breach will limit the effects of an attack, but implementing the correct strategy for your business to build business resilience will play a significant role in determining how much pain your organization suffers from an incoming cyber-attack.

Hear from Akamai's EMEA Director of Security Technology and Strategy Richard Meeus and:

• Understand the common attacks in the cyber threat landscape ー from DDoS & Zero Day vulnerabilities to Account-Takeover
• Discover how to build business resilience and continuity practices into your organisation's IT security strategy and operations
• Learn how you can provide your users with risk-free access to applications and services

In this session, sit down with data experts, business technology leaders, and industry peers to discuss -

• The criticality of business and IT alignment in decision making
• The fundamentals of building enterprise-grade data warehouses
• The storytelling power of advanced data visualisation
• The opportunities in AI driven intelligence

What does identity mean in the digital world? A world where we can change our appearance with the click of a button. A world where we can work from anywhere. A world of soaring cyber attacks. Perpetrators are finding innovative ways to circumvent traditional security measures and launch attacks, which can destroy a business if not acted on quickly. How should organisations respond to the rising threat?

In this session, we’ll explore how to use an identity-first approach to building future-proof systems able to withstand the cyber threats of today and tomorrow across both workforce and customer experience use cases.

70% of digital transformations fail - almost because they’re designed to. When transformations don’t consider ‘culture’, they lose the ability to evolve as needed; and so experienced leaders realise how ‘culture’ is an essential dimension to IT transformation. 

There are implicit financial structures in every organisation. If you want to change an organisation, you need to look at how money works within it. These topologies are invisible and exert a powerful hidden influence which often hinders change. Understanding their influence is crucial to sustainable business transformation.

Join us for this boardroom discussion where we will be unpacking a deeper structural cause of problems in change management - how money flows through the organisation.

Key Takeaways

• A unique understanding of money flows, cultural gaps and how your finance team could change everything - some immediate to-do’s!

• Transformational awareness of behaviour, goals and the way financial decisions are made

• Connections with peers who share similar constraints

Transformation is an organisation wide activity that requires all teams to pull together towards a common goal.

This interactive session will highlight the role that the CIO/CTO should, or should not, play in these transformations.

Throughout the current pandemic, IT departments have had no choice but to evolve to the speed that the business demanded; from pivoting to remote working and standing up online services to changing business operating models.

But in a world of cost-cutting, skills shortages and greater governance, and with business demands showing no signs of abating, how do the technology leaders steady the ship through the chaos? Join this boardroom session where OutSystems will discuss everything from level-setting with business peers, to building a more agile, iterative and robust IT function.

It’s not easy to keep on track with a digital transformation. In this session, we will open up a peer-discussion on how to build the leadership and technical conditions for an enduring and beneficial digital transformation – and how to ensure we, as CIOs, control and gain credit for that transformation.

To help the discussion we will consider five things:

• The destination – Why transform? Where do we want to be? Why do we want to get there?
• The journey – how can we build on the history of the organisation? How do we understand the problems?
• The fellow travellers – how do we take people on this journey, both the willing and the sceptical, senior and junior? What other partners do we need and why?
• The map – Do we have the right tools, plans, programmes?
• The travel diary – How can we communicate the results (and learn from the mistakes)? How do we ensure we know when to change track? And when to change destination? And how can we communicate the results (including for our own careers)?
