The Greatest Fears?
The biggest fear is not the technology, it is the potential of human error that could expose your organization to a cyberattack. The majority of CISOs agree that an employee carelessly falling victim to a phishing scam is the most likely cause of a security breach. Most also agree that they will not be able to reduce the level of employee disregard for information security. How do we guard against human error without limiting employee efficiency and productivity?


11:35 AM-12:00 PM
What’s AI Doing for You?
The terms "Artificial Intelligence" and "Advanced Machine Learning" are often thought of interchangeably. While there is a relationship between AI and AML, to say they are the same thing is an oversimplification and misclassification. Rather, one begets the other with AI being the basic principle upon which AML is developed. As AI begins to mature and migrate away from purely advanced mathematical operations into decision making paradigms, AML steps forward as the predictive ability of machines to process vast quantities of data. As data and analytics becomes foundational to the way every business operates, AI and AML will become foundational capabilities.

Ransomware/Extortionware
CISOs face a huge headache trying to understand how to know when they were attacked, what data attackers have corrupted? How quickly can they recover from the attack? And do they have to pay a ransom to get the data back?
Ransomware remains a significant challenge for companies, not simply because it has become ubiquitous, but also because of the significant impact a single ransomware attack may have on a company and every other company or customer that relies on that company.
Cybersecurity and risk management have always been vital for the flow of any business. However, the current condition of the global supply chain makes it exceptionally vulnerable to severe damage from an attack more so than usual. When the supply chain is barely getting by, criminals are more likely to assume they have leverage over businesses. A ransomware attacker may be more brazen and exercise higher demands than they might have a few years ago.
1:50 PM-2:35 PM
Security Controls: Measuring Efficacy for the Business Growth
The industry is spending record amounts on cybersecurity tooling, but somehow CISOs still are at times left scrambling to respond to the vulnerabilities like Log4j. Assuming that these types of critical and far-reaching events are inevitable, how can CISOs further improve their organization’s preparedness for future cyberattacks?
This panel will discuss potential strategies for determining the critical security controls - both technology and behavioral - that can minimize cyber-risks and give the organization the competitive advantage to grow and innovate. We will explore frameworks for measuring the efficacy of cybersecurity investments, and KPIs that show the board the investment is safeguarding the company's digital infrastructure for the long term.
2:35 PM-2:55 PM

Zero Trust Network
A zero trust approach to security has been steadily gaining steam for the last several years. The importance of this approach reached a new level with the May 2021 White House executive order requiring federal agencies to shift to this architecture by fall 2024.
Ransomware continues to grow and clearly as remote work became the new norm, and e-commerce increased. Leaders need to establish a mature level of cyber resilience to better handle ransomware and other potential data breaches. Luckily, zero trust can play a critical part in that strategy as more and more businesses are realizing that to build customer trust they must establish zero tolerance for trust in their security strategy. Will Zero Tolerance for Trust redefine the state of security as government and private industry scrutinize their trusted relationships more, and re-evaluate the ‘who, what, why’ in 2023 more than any other year?

Building Solutions by Finding Problems
Disruption alters, destroys, but also creates value. You realize the need to act once revenue starts to shift, which is happening at a faster pace than most would think. Disruption can be a great thing if you act upon it, but it is a threat if you watch idly. We will discuss how CIOs and CISOs can be proactive and act on disruption by figuring out how to identify, prioritize and respond.






5:40 PM-5:55 PM
Building Security into DevSecOps
Many organizations struggle with how and where to introduce automation and integrations efficiently. Conventional approaches to application security can’t keep pace with cloud-native environments that use agile methodologies and API-driven architectures, microservices, containers, and serverless functions. Application security testing is evolving to meet the speed at which DevOps teams operate. DevSecOps teams are challenged with how to make sense of the noise their AppSec tools generate once they’ve been automated into DevOps pipelines.
Processes and tools are more fast-paced and rely on integration and automation to maintain efficiency throughout the software development life cycle. A new approach to DevSecOps is required addressing a change in the security mindset. How do CISOs achieve this without the buy-in from stakeholders?

Cocktail Hour
Having been deluged by a smorgasbord of "vendors" trying to get us to sponsor CISO events literally multiple times a week it was hard to cut through all the noise. C-Vision laid out an articulate plan for us to be much more targeted, presented a stronger ROI and on top have come through with the Results they Promised. They really have become an adjunct "team for hire" building trust with us all along the way. There is no second guessing on this relationship and consistently over-deliver. My kind of Partner.
I had the pleasure of joining the C-Vision International, Nordics CISO Council Roundtable with a wonderful group of cyber executives. We had a wonderful, insightful conversation and the whole experience was enjoyable. I made great new contacts and reconnected with existing contacts on really important topics that matter to CISO’s and all in cybersecurity. I’d highly recommend joining in any C-Vision event.
C-Vision has helped my company a great deal. They have trusted deep relationships that make the sales process a lot easier. Everyone wants to get in front of C-level execs today. C-Vision cuts through the noise to help build long lasting business relationships!
C-Vision was really professional, responsive, listened and are very thoughtful in their approach. It showed from the information gathering stage, to the planning stage and then with execution. I call them a 'boutique' company - because they are very high touch and truly care about the customer and end result, and most importantly, the relationship building and next steps after the event. They do not overbook their calendar and it shows with their customer service. Our speakers (Senior Exec VP level) were impressed with the format, and who they brought to the table. We will be continuing to engage with them. I can't recommend them enough and with so many out there, it is hard to find the right fit!
Intimate, immersive experiences provided by a group of individuals always available to support our needs. Fantastic organization and very high-level executives. The promise was delivered!
C-vision's events combine relevant topics with a suitable audience. I found great value at my last attendance, and would definitely consider upcoming events.
Thoughtful discussion among experienced leaders regarding current challenges and complexities, and valuable exchange of pragmatic approaches and best practices. Well organized and facilitated.
A group very focused in bringing diversity to the discussion table
I love the engaging format of the councils. Very high level discussions and never a sales pitch. The C-Vision staff members are amazing.
A very warm welcome and interesting speakers. I was very pleased to be among such a dynamic group.
The process was very well organized by C-Vision. Perfect organization, honest and authentic speakers of high level.
