Digital Transformation in the Healthcare Industry: A Journey Not a Destination
There are many forces that are driving the Healthcare industry to continue to transform how they do business. Technological advances such as IoT, AI, machine learning, virtual reality and augmented reality are creating demanding expectations from patients, care providers and boards. Adding to the complexity of CIOs and CISOs is the increasing threats to the security of the data that is at the heart of digital transformation. This keynote presentation will focus on the realities that this transformation will never end and it is critical to implement both the mindset and processes to treat digital transformation as a journey...not a destination.
Takeaways:
- It is critical to realize that digital transformation will never end, but will always be unfolding.
- CIOs and CISOs must implement processes to ensure that not only their departments are forward thinking, but that their entire company is aware of what new technologies can bring to bear for customers and employees.

Takeaways:
- One of the best ways to learn is to hear the stories of success (and failure) from companies similar to yours.
- Asking questions of HOW the journey unfolded are just as important as the end result.

We will discuss the current trends as well as share case studies of successful digital workplace implementations.

Making Your Way Through the Fog of Cloud Computing in a Secure Path
What have we learned from a decade of cloud computing? What are the best practices that we should be taking into account as we take the next step on the digital transformation journey? We will discuss the full range of data center to cloud to hybrid cloud to fog and everything in between.
Takeaways:
- Cloud computing has effectively been with us for a decade. There are clear learnings in the last ten years that we should leverage as we implement new solutions.
- One size does not fit all. Effective solutions can range from a state of the art data center to a hybrid cloud to a fully implemented cloud solution.

Machines Are Friends Not Foes: Using Cognitive Computing to Assess Threats
Popular movies, books and television shows typically position advanced technology as a threat to humanity and all we hold dear. Yet cognitive computing technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing and Augmented Reality (AR) are helping CIOs and CISOs make better decisions faster. We will discuss how cognitive computing can help us navigate the acceleration of activity and decisions that we are experiencing on our digital transformation journeys.
Takeaways:
- New cognitive computing technologies can be unnerving and difficult to trust.
- Used properly, cognitive computing technologies such as AI, ML and AR can provide data to humans in such a way to enable us to better prioritize the decisions we must make and make those decisions more effectively.

Executive Boardroom 
Where Are We on Our Journey? Effective Dashboards for Security Decision Making
How fast are we going? Are we going in the right direction? How much fuel do we have in the tank? These are common questions for those on the move. Organizations on a digital transformation journey need effective dashboards to help them understand the myriad data sources screaming for attention. We will discuss best practices for the various types of dashboards that can be used to make the most important decisions for your company.
Takeaways:
- Digital Transformation is providing an increasing amount of data to be understood and analyzed in order to make the right decisions.
- Effective dashboards are a key tenet of consuming this onslaught of data.
Executive Boardroom
Navigating Security and Risk In a Changing IT Landscape
Agile, DevOps, containers, microservices, the cloud are all seeing increased adoption across the enterprise. However, while there are valid business reasons to embrace these new models, there is potential risk in implementation. Is this change necessary? If so, how can this change be accommodated effectively, safely? This session will cover some common elements of the risk of change - and of not changing - and suggest approaches to minimize risk as you adopt these new technologies.
Takeaways:
- The IT landscape will continue to change leading to new processes, new technologies and new "standard" ways of doing IT business.
- This changing landscape will present security challenges where you will need to balance the "pain of same" vs the "pain of change".
12:15 pm - 1:25 pm
Working Lunch & Panel
CIOs/CISOs as the Consummate Communicator
Digital transformation is changing how you equip your employees and how your company interacts with customers. It is also changing the role of the CIO and CISO to be a business leader and internal sales leader for transformation. CIOs are now responsible for communicating strategies and recommendations to CxOs, boards and key stakeholders within a company. Join us, during lunch, for a passionate panel discussion with your peers as they share how they are successfully communicating internally to accomplish the company's goals.
Takeaways:
- CIOs must be great communicators, not only with their teams, but the rest of the organization.
- CIOs must learn the best ways to communicate clarity and urgency with boards and CXOs.

Think Tank
Which Third Party Do You Trust?
It is not a matter of if, but a matter of when. Organizations, more and more, and are outsourcing business activities to 3rd-parties because of cost-savings, revenue opportunities, expertise, etc. Thus, collaborating with our business partners early to select the right third-party vendor(s) with the appropriate security posture is essential, especially for vendors hosting, processing and/or transmitting sensitive/regulatory information, or having access to our IT assets.
Takeaways:
- Regardless of the reasons, outsourcing some business functions to a 3rd party seems inevitable in today's world.
- It is critical to have a proper vetting procedure of third parties before engaging them as business partners who have access to company systems and data.

Executive Exchange
Thought Leadership
Can Technology Alone Prevent Phishing Attacks & Breaches?
In a world where we are talking about trusting self-driving cars, will we totally trust self "threat-assessing and action-taking" cybersecurity systems? Is technology enough? What is the human role in both preventing and responding to attacks?
Takeaways:
- Employees continue to be one of the leading, if not the leading, entry point for security breaches.
- Training about cyber attack approaches such as phishing is important, but using technology can help employees more consistently identify outside forces attempting to harm your company.

Executive Exchange
Think Tank
CISO's Got Talent: Finding, Growing & Retaining the Best People
While new technology and solutions can help CISOs make more, faster and better decisions for an organization, nothing will take the place of a highly talented workforce. CISOs need to be great recruiters of talent, but even more importantly growing the skills and capabilities of their team providing engaging and challenging opportunities for people. Competitive compensation is important for retaining great talent but so is a work environment where individual growth and development are front of mind and not an after thought.
Takeaways:
- Highly skilled employees want an environment where they can grow their skills and feel appropriately challenged.
- Finding the best people, inside and outside of your company, and then providing a path to individual excellence is a key responsibility of CIOs.

Disrupt or Be Disrupted: The Digital Transformation Journey Has No Parking Lots
The seemingly ever expanding cadre of technological tools available to incumbent industry leaders are also available to myriad start-ups. Start-ups are using these new technologies to disrupt industries of all types, changing how customers think about tried and true industries. Disruption is found on every corner and it is critical for CIOs to lead their organizations in a way that make them as nimble as their competitors.
Takeaways:
- Technology enables companies, especially start-ups with no legacy infrastructure, to disrupt industries overnight.
- CIOs need to lead their companies in ways that disrupt before they are disrupted by others.
