What Do Today’s Cyber Enforcement and Liability Trends Mean for CISOs & Other Executives? With Aravind Swaminathan, Global Co-Chair Cybersecurity and Data Privacy, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP

The SEC’s enforcement action against Solar Winds and its Chief Information Security Officer Tim Brown is one data point in a trend of regulators putting their sights directly on information security and technology executives. It follows on the DOJ’s prosecution and conviction of Joe Sullivan, Uber’s former Chief Security Officer, and the FTC’s consent decree against Drizly’s Chief Executive Officer James Cory Rellas. The landscape is changing fast – and there’s even more happening behind the scenes. Security professionals need to understand:

– What key regulators are currently focused on and how they are identifying potential targets for further investigations (e.g., sweeps, notice letters, informal inquiries, etc.)
– Regulatory changes by prominent regulatory agencies (e.g., SEC, FTC, NYDFS) and what these represent
– Steps that information security professionals should consider taking now, to stay ahead of the regulators and protect themselves

11:55 AM – 12:25 PM

Update From Tim Brown: Current Situation and Future Outlook with Tim Brown, VP Security and CISO, SolarWinds

Tim will provide an update on status and lead a discussion on lessons learned, limiting our exposure while doing our jobs, and how the community leverages the SECs actions for good.

Navigating Complexity: CISOs at the Crossroads of Tech, Strategy, and Business Enablement with Patricia Ryan, CISO, QuidelOrtho, Allen Wilson, CISO, AXIS Capital, and Troy Wilkinson, Global CISO Interpublic Group. 

This discussion will explore the dual role of CISOs who must steer through high-level strategic discussions with company leaders while tackling day-to-day technical challenges. This balancing act requires influencing without always having direct authority. Our roundtable will address the broad range of their responsibilities and the real-world juggling act involved—all in a day’s work. For example:

– Starting your day in a high-stakes board meeting before ending it in a hands-on session with your security engineers.
– Discussing strategic investments with the finance team before deep diving into the specifics of a new security patch.
– Negotiating with security vendors, while also coordinating a rapid response to an unexpected security breach.
– Presenting long-term security roadmaps in a senior leadership retreat before being interrupted to troubleshoot urgent security issues that arise unexpectedly during the day.

We will discuss common attacker TTPs, the SaaS threat landscape, and how security leaders can enhance their evaluation of risk towards their organizations and share lessons learned from recent breaches including Snowflake, Okta, Sisense, and GitHub.

We will exchange perspectives on the shared responsibility model for SaaS security and opportunities for collaboration between security teams and business owners to secure the SaaS applications that now power the enterprise. I will also offer an early look at AppOmni’s 2024 State of SaaS Security survey and report with respondents from over 640 global enterprises. In addition, we will review ideas on how zero trust architectures can extend to SaaS applications, and best practices to secure your SaaS estate based on lessons learned from enterprises with hundreds of applications and thousands of internal and external users.

Effective CISO Communications to Mitigate Risk: Before, During and After a Cyber Crisis with Christopher Porter, SVP & CISO, Information Security and Integrated Risk Management, Fannie Mae and Meredith Griffanti, Global Head of Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Communications, FTI Consulting

Cybersecurity incidents can impact operations, create legal risk, cause reputational harm, and hurt the bottom line. Managing the communications response is crucial for maintaining hard-earned trust with key stakeholders.

Being prepared to not only lead, but communicate, effectively during a cybersecurity crisis is a crucial skill for CISOs today. In fact, skillfully leading during times of crisis, and an ability to translate technical jargon into understandable terms are among the top five attributes C-suite executives expect of their CISOs, according to recent research from FTI Consulting. This interactive session will focus on:

–  Key considerations to prepare your organization ahead of a cyber incident
–  The kinds of rapid-fire communications expectations, inflection points, and decisions CISOs should expect to tackle during a live crisis
–  Strategies that can make all the difference in leading your organization through the crisis while restoring trust and reputation

11:10 AM – 11:45 AM

Do We Need a National CISO Trade Association? Decode Washington with Emily Coyle, President, Cyber Governance Alliance

CISOs understand the importance of professional networks for information sharing and career development. The changing legislative, regulatory, and litigation landscapes directly impact the cyber profession, yet there is no national CISO trade association. This discussion will explore efforts to formally engage federal policymakers, best practices and how other professions organize themselves to engage policymakers, influence outcomes, and shape the future of industry.

11:45 AM – 12:15 PM

SINET Working Group on Robust Employment Agreements, Personal Liability, Employment Risks, and Technology Risk Governance with Brian Fricke, CISO, City National Bank of Florida and Michael Johnson, CISO, Meta Financial Technologies

Cyber is an existential risk to trust-based, digital businesses. Cyber threats continue to grow in frequency and sophistication. Institutions today must simultaneously safeguard and defend against both thieves and nation state-capable adversaries. Managing that risk is a complex, high-stakes endeavor, fraught with peril for immature or unprepared enterprises, but especially for CISOs. CISO are charged with working with the business to prevent major cyber events where possible, and when the inevitable happens, to quickly detect, respond, and recover. Being a CISO leading through a major cyber event can be a tiring, difficult, and lonely experience.

In this not-for-attribution, educational talk, based on real world personal experiences, experienced CISOs share concrete recommendations on minimizing personal and corporate liability. This includes recommendations on a CISO employment contract, a comprehensive cyber strategy, quantitative cybersecurity risk management, and how to communicate with key stakeholders including boards of directors.

3:15 PM – 4:00 PM

SINET Working Group on Defining a Forward-Looking and Proactive Cybersecurity Risk Appetite with Kirsten Davies, CISO, Unilever and George Smirnoff, MD, Global Information Security, Compliance and Operational Risk Executive, Bank of America

An effective Cybersecurity Risk Appetite is one that is integrated into a cybersecurity risk program that enables the organization to be forward-looking and proactively adjust its risk posture across the cybersecurity risk domain, inclusive of related interconnected risks and business processes, to avoid material breaches.

The SINET Handbook on Defining Cybersecurity Risk Appetite Within an Interconnected Risk Management Framework (currently in draft) will provide an approach based on five core components: (1) Building a foundation based on top-down business objectives and a bottom-up risk and control framework; (2) Differentiating between maintaining the risk profile and proactively managing the risk where it is changing; (3) Managing cybersecurity risk as an interconnected risk across other risk domains; (4) Defining financial and non-financial, quantitative and qualitative measures; and (5) Establishing forward-looking and proactive triggers for management engagement.

4:00 PM – 4:40 PM

Protect the CISO with John Carlin, Partner, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP

This program discusses how CISOs can manage cyber-related risk, with particular attention to CISO liability with ever-increasing global data breach and privacy-related regulations, civil litigation, and enforcement actions. The presenter provides a review of key developments in 2024. Some main topics include: 1) AT&T and the SEC exception to cybersecurity incident disclosures, 2) lessons in incident response from the Change Healthcare breach, and 3) takeaways from the recent SolarWinds decision regarding CISO liability.
