By the time this panel is held in October, the cybersecurity posture of the corporate world will have changed, and new significant incidents will be experienced.

However, more importantly, they will offer practical strategies they deploy to help secure their organization. This panel will share their perspective from the front lines, discussing dangerous new attack techniques and what they believe is coming next. The panel also will share strategies and techniques they use to communicate effectively with non-cyber folks about their cyber program.

Maximizing ROI: Strategies for Reducing Technical Debt and Saving Money
I had the pleasure of joining Tomas Maldonado, CISO of the NFL, Leon Ravenna, CISO/CIO of OpenLane, and Lokesh Aggarwal, CEO of Apexa, for a conversation around what we can do to maximize return on investment using strategies for reducing technical debt. Each of us brings our different experiences around this topic and share what we think are helpful ideas regarding improvements and successes with the limited resources we have dealing with tech debt.
