Managing Digital Risk Amid Disruption
Digital transformation is not only changing how companies think about business. It is changing how we think about risk. We need to *act* on risk, not worry about it. We need to start and end with the basics. Join RSA as we review several key areas of digital risk management to target as you are challenged to be a key contributor in your organization's digital journey.

Bring Your Own . . . Enhancement
Over the next 5 years, it's forecasted that roughly 30% of enterprises will augment BYOD policies to include 'bring your own enhancement' (BYOE) to add focus to augmented staff members. It will be tempting for IT to try and regulate or control human augmentation technology, but the real focus should be to exploit the employee's interest in BYOE to advance the business. We are seeing manufacturing companies currently using wearables to promote worker safety, and companies in both travel and healthcare industries are using these devices to boost productivity. With these technologies constantly evolving, organizations should contemplate how these enhancements can be leveraged in both the personal and professional lives of the workforce.
Takeaways:
- Impactful examples of BYOE
- Technology Strategies to encourage employees to use AI
- Critical considerations for IT's need to regulate Augmented Technology

Bigger, Faster, & Safer: Optimizing Third-Party Risk at Scale
Most vendor risk management programs rely on questionnaires, policy artifacts, and audits to assess the risk of parterining with third-parties. This practice places trust in the vendor where there may have been no prior relationship, can be a drawn out process as vendors attempt to gather information on sometimes hundreds of questions, and puts a heavy burden on the assessing organization as they evaluate the responses and documents received from the prospective vendor. As the 3am informercials say, there's got to be a better way!
Join our session to find out how data-centric assessments provide an objective metric and move the outcome of TPRM programs from reduction of liability to reduction of risk.

Data 2020, The Duality of Fueling AI and Addressing Data Risk
This year will offer a wake-up call for many, as the overall cost of getting data wrong will be realized. CIOs will be pulled between business growth strategies focusing on AI and the increasing cyber-imperative of addressing the critical data risk issues. As data is sourced from a complex portfolio of applications; successful transformations will need to balance convincing gatekeepers to say yes, the use of intelligent automation to deliver compelling initiatives for data cleansing, integration, and management, and the overall IT support of the exponentially increasing demand for data overall. Successful leaders will need to leverage concepts like technical debt to deliver the budget increases they need to deliver and manage the potential that data represents.
Takeaways:
- A technical debt view รข?" how mishandling data drives financial cost
- How AI improves predictability in safeguarding data
- IT teams can be more effective at cleaning and organizing data

Automating Cybersecurity
IT security professionals all face one major issue: being asked to do more, with less resources. Automation and integration are a necessity in order to meet the demands of an organization's security needs. Managing risk without diminishing the speed and quality of development is achievable by integrating security into agile processes, like DevOps or CI/CD. Since most security teams are understaffed, automated solutions are becoming a requirement, rather than an option to properly manage the ever-increasing workload.
Takeaways:
- Automation is required to meet today's security demand
- DevOps can operate more efficiently with CI/CD
- IT security staff are responsible for more than ever

You Need to Know Who Is Accessing Your Data, But Do You Really?
Knowing who is accessing what data is at the heart of security. Today, users and attackers get to your data through a mesh of web applications, APIs, and microservices. Unfortunately, your database logs only report the querying source as an authorized intermediary application without the originating requestor's information. This blind spot causes glaring gaps during audits, slows incident response, and impede breach detection.
Learn how to apply new ways of continuously linking originating users' information to every database access with cohesive interworking between edge WAF, server RASP, and Data Activity Monitoring tools.

AI: Friend or Foe?
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are introducing new technologies to a wide array of products across every industry, especially cybersecurity. Facial recognition and natural language processing have become a reality thanks to deep learning algorithms, however, there is a dark side to these advancements. Cybercriminals have managed to weaponize AI to create extremely intricate malware and attack methods. This has forced organizations to use advanced heuristic solutions rather than counting on known vulnerability and attack signatures.
Takeaways:
- Artificial Intelligence products are already being deployed in many industries
- Features like facial recognition and chat bots are common examples
- Cybercriminals can weaponize this technology without proper security measures
