Title: Is Your Technical C-Suite Becoming Way Too Crowded?

The rapid changes in the workplace, increasing market pressure, and global competition has caused some organizations to over-rotate on the hiring of C-Suite technical talent.

Digital Business Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Innovation Officer, and Chief Integration Officer are some of the titles that we see emerging in the enterprise. Is the role of the CIO eroding or have we just not kept up with the changing world? How can you as a technology leader evolve with the changing landscape to ensure you keep your seat at the table?

Keynote Presentation: Is Your Technical C-Suite Becoming Way Too Crowded?

08:00 AM - 09:00 AM

Read About
Scott Howitt

As a leading-edge cybersecurity company, McAfee provides advanced security solutions to consumers, small and large businesses, enterprises, and governments. Security technologies from McAfee use a unique, predictive capability that is powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence, which enables home users and businesses to stay one step ahead of the next wave of fileless attacks, viruses, malware, and other online threats.

TBD - Malwarebytes

09:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Back in 2004, Marcin Kleczynski picked up a nasty malware infection one day while cruising the Internet in search of video games. This despite having a big-name paid antivirus in place.

It was the family computer, so his parents said, you have to make this right. No big deal, said Marcin. He worked as a computer tech after school in Chicago. How long could it take to remove a small bit of malicious code? Try three solid days. Three days searching the Internet and consulting with other people on security forums like spywareinfoforum.com who had similar problems. Who had also come to the same two conclusions:

1. There was a lot of new malware out there.

2. Traditional antivirus wasn’t up to the task.

So Marcin set out to build a better malware fighter. He taught himself code and eventually engineered a small but highly effective anti-malware tool called Rogue Remover that quickly became popular in the security community. More importantly, in this community Marcin discovered like-minded security gurus and malware hunters. They battled malicious code, traded malware intel, and helped desperate folks who came to the message boards. And they were coming up with outside-the-box answers to the new threats that gave traditional antivirus a hard time. On their own dime and their own time.

Today, threats have mutated far beyond simple viruses. Cryptojackers turn your browser into a bitcoin-mining operation while ransomware locks data files, paralyzing businesses and national infrastructure all over the world. And malicious code is now polymorphic, constantly shape shifting to elude detection by traditional antivirus and their old signature-based technology. So now it takes a hacker to beat a hacker.

It's this hacker's mentality that has made Malwarebytes one of the most trusted names in cybersecurity. Our team of more than 600 malware hunters, software engineers, and security industry veterans has been awarded six patents for our innovative technology. And our tech is validated by the results—millions of folks and businesses worldwide rely on Malwarebytes code to protect what’s important.

But beyond the tech, the team is united behind one simple belief: You and everyone have a right to a malware-free existence.

Time Dedicated to Networking and Vendor Evaluations

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

TBD - SentinelOne

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

A group of defense and intelligence experts saw savvy attackers compromising endpoints seemingly at will. Traditional approaches failed to provide sufficient protection. They founded SentinelOne to develop a dramatic new approach to endpoint protection. It’s one that applies AI and machine learning to thwart known and unknown threats.

Our team understands how much endpoints matter. When attackers come after our privacy, intellectual property, infrastructure, and collaborative modes of working, they assault more than just data. We’re under attack, and so are our values. That’s why we’re dedicated to keeping our breakthrough platform ahead of threats from every vector. Gartner, NSS Labs, and industry leading organizations recognize that our approach sets us apart.

TBD - Darktrace

09:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Founded in 2013 by mathematicians from the University of Cambridge, Darktrace was the first company to develop an AI system for cyber security.

The company was seed-funded by Invoke Capital, a specialist technology investment fund headed by Dr Mike Lynch OBE, and the Invoke team was instrumental in working with the founders in the early days.

Darktrace founders also include cyber security experts from government intelligence backgrounds, united in their mission to fundamentally transform the ability of organizations to defend their most critical assets in the face of rising cyber-threat.

Darktrace’s pioneering technology, the Enterprise Immune System, applies AI to the cyber defense challenge for the first time, detecting cyber-threats that existing, legacy systems cannot.

It quickly became clear that the technology was powerful enough to identify a diverse range of threats at their earliest stages – including insider attacks, latent vulnerabilities, cloud-based threats and even state-sponsored espionage.

In 2016, Darktrace’s leadership in AI was reinforced with the launch of the first-ever autonomous response technology, Darktrace Antigena. This innovation allowed the Enterprise Immune System to react to in-progress cyber-attacks in a highly precise way, giving security teams the time they desperately need to catch up. When WannaCry ransomware attacks hit hundreds of organizations in 2017, Darktrace Antigena reacted in seconds, protecting customer networks from the inestimable damage.

In November 2017, the company announced a new business unit, Darktrace Industrial, dedicated to fighting threats in industrial and SCADA networks, building on a strong base of customers that use Darktrace AI to protect critical national infrastructure and operational technology.

Darktrace is headquartered in San Francisco and Cambridge, UK, with 44 offices globally and over 1,300 employees. It is privately owned, with investors including KKR, Summit Partners, Vitruvian Partners, Samsung Ventures, TenEleven Ventures, Hoxton Ventures, Talis Capital, Invoke Capital and Insight Venture Partners.

TBD - Merlin Cyber

12:00 PM - 01:00 PM

For years, organizations have cobbled together dozens of cybersecurity tools in an effort to keep ahead of rapidly evolving security threats and regulatory compliance requirements.

However, this has resulted in a fragmented security posture that is massively complex and costly to manage, and it has opened enterprises to critical security vulnerabilities. Even worse, cloud, mobile, IoT, and other technology trends are driving the need for executives to modernize their security infrastructure with best-in-class security solutions – and to do so in a holistic way that is smart, simple, and cost-effective.

Merlin is a cybersecurity platform that enables organizations to close critical security gaps and simplify IT operations while reducing complexity, cost, and risk.
