TFG Track A: Revisiting Security and Cyber Resiliency for the Perimeterless Enterprise
11:40 - 11:45
Opening Act
As the organizational digital footprint expands due to remote work practices, increased adoption of cloud, and the growing number of apps, the attack surface will rapidly expand. At the same time, the threat landscape is growing in sophistication. Data privacy is thus becoming a key priority for regulators and businesses. An increasing number of data protection regulations are being enacted, and organizations are constantly striving to keep up with compliance mandates.

The Road to an Optimal Zero Trust Strategy
The disappearing perimeter, the expanding attack surface, the inevitable breaches, and the acceleration of digital transformation pose increasingly complex challenges for organizations of all sizes. While the zero trust framework provides a blueprint for securing data and networks in today’s multi-cloud environment, the path ahead remains fragmented and challenging. This session will highlight the reasons why establishing trusted identities across users, devices, apps, and workloads is critical to an optimal zero trust strategy. It will showcase how to secure data in transit, at rest, and in use across public and private cloud environments. The session will also demonstrate how organizations can build a zero trust implementation road map that protects against the threats of today and the post-quantum future.

Bringing Attack Surface Risk Management and Extended Detection and Response Together
CISOs managing risks or SOC leaders trying to respond to threats have related problems, and as such improvements on one side invariably help the other. The more proactive the risk mitigation, the fewer security incidents that require responses from the SOC team. This session will examine how teams can work across borders to close the gaps between attack surface risk management and threat detection and response.

TFG Track B: Enabling a Cloud- and Data-Driven Enterprise
11:40 - 11:45
Opening Act
Data is now the lifeblood of organizations. However, organizations have taken approaches that have led to highly fragmented, inconsistent, siloed, and redundant data infrastructures with limited standardization and poor data quality – including organizations that have prioritized analytics for decades. Building a solid data foundation, including a data governance framework, is a fundamental first step and critical success factor for a data-driven business.

Making Your Data Strategy Successful
Implementing a successful data strategy is harder than it needs to be because of the legacy limitations set by centralized, point-to-point batch architectures. Data streaming platforms break these constraints by providing real-time connectivity between software-as-a-service, analytics, and database systems in a way that lets users tap more data with less redundancy and less reliance on centralized teams. This session will explore how this newly emerging category of data streaming can help with data strategy challenges and resolve what can be regarded as a ‘data mess.’

Overcoming the Roadblocks to Becoming a Data Driven Organization
Data is now the lifeblood for organizations. Yet even those who have made analytics a priority for decades, their approach has led to highly fragmented, inconsistent, siloed, and redundant data infrastructures with limited standardization and poor data quality. A fundamental first step and critical success factor for a data-driven business is to build a solid data foundation, including a data governance framework. This should be accompanied by initiatives to pull together data from multiple sources, attract the right skills and talent, improve data literacy across all staff, and move away from IT-led innovation and transformation toward a business-led approach.

Reimagining Content Management Strategies for a Digital-First Organization
As organizations embrace a digital-first world, catering to the hyper digital consumer requires dynamic content to harmonize with physical elements, conveniently handing off and reconnecting channels, throughout the journey. Brands are comfortable optimizing digital content for one or two channels: orchestrating content across multiple channels and elevating the customer experience at an accelerated pace. What is the future of content and how can it be designed for equity, trust, and connected relationships?

Redefining Security in Cloud, On-Prem, and AI
Recent advancements in machine learning and AI have given rise to regenerative AI tools, presenting new security vulnerabilities in both daily life and the business realm. While these tools offer vast opportunities, they also introduce direct cybersecurity threats and challenges around data integrity. Modern cloud services have proactively developed countermeasures, ranging from cloud-centric to hybrid models, to address these risks. As AI continues to intersect with security, vigilance in safeguarding digital assets remains imperative.

Multiple Source Real-Time Data for Faster Decision Making
Organizations are using a growing number and variety of devices to create and capture data. This includes sensors, mobile devices, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Rather than being held in a datacentre, data lake or warehouse, or some other central data storage, this data exists on the so-called edge — close to, or at, the original source. These devices would seem to create data with conflicting needs. On one hand, this data must often be analysed and acted on immediately or in real time to support instant business decisions. On the other hand, such streaming data often does not need to be retained after it is acted on. In addition, edge computing provides unique value when extracting insights, synthesizing, or summarizing data to be sent to the enterprise.

How to Spend Less and Get More with ITSM
The IMF projects that world economic growth will slow to 3.2% this year, down from 6.1% in 2021. So, while we are tightening budgets in our personal lives, we can expect the same for our work lives, with businesses finding ways to spend less. For IT, it means doing more with less, as well as stopping or significantly slowing discretionary spending. Calculating ITSM ROI is key for enterprises looking to deliver rapid time to value for their investments in a modern service management solution. But how can they achieve faster time to value with all the challenges that business faces today? This session will explore the focus areas for ITSM in 2023, discuss what's driving technology spending this year, and outline how to deliver rapid time to value with the right-sized ITSM.

Adopting A.DO Practices to Drive Innovation and Transform Teams
Although Agile and DevOps (A.DO) are multidisciplinary, they are not mutually exclusive. The endgame of A.DO is to automate, optimize, and ensure high quality throughout the entire continuous delivery pipeline. New hybrid work environments benefit A.DO projects with enhanced combinations of teams working remotely: from the office, on flexible work schedules, and with improved collaboration platforms and tools. More diverse resource coverage means that teams are not location-limited and can reassign work and resources to meet product backlog. In doing so, BFSIs enable true agility and give teams greater flexibility to win in competitive markets.
