Implementing Agility Culture - IT Transformation
Over the past decades, the changes we have gone through as IT function have driven us to be effective in managing complicated business problems through the application of technology. Nowadays, the environment that the companies we work for is constantly increasingly in complexity. This makes the current IT transformation different from the changes we have gone through over the past decades.
Complicated business processes require a structured and predictable breakdown of activities; Complex business opportunities require an agile transformation. This calls for a different look at People, Processes, Data and Technology.

Trends in Third-Party Risk: What's New for 2021?
As the world changes, third-party risk management requirements change too. So, what can you expect in 2021? How can you prepare for what's ahead? We've helped implement thousands of third-party risk management programs, and in doing so, we've seen how organizations' needs have evolved. There are proactive measures you can take to stay ahead of the curve. But in order to execute against and adapt to these third-party risk trends, you need to first know what the future holds. In this session, we'll answer the following questions:
- What are the latest trends for third-risk management?
- How your organization adapt to current and future trends?
- What can you do to future-proof your third-party risk management program?

The New Face of the CISO
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

Demystifying Digital Transformation - Honesty about Challenges, Capabilities, and Organisational Changes
A Fireside Chat featuring David Versteeg, Chief Digital Officer, Van Lanschot Kempen and Bas Rapati, Chief Analytics Officer, Van Lanschot Kempen
Moderated by Lisanne Smink, Product Owner, Van Lanschot Kempen
As an organisation setting sail in search of new digital terrain, one of the simplest questions you can ask yourself, looking at "where do we stand today", is, "where do we want to go?"
What then isn't the simplest, is charting a map of exactly how you get from here to there. The elements to moving through a digital transformation journey range from tangible items, such as being business focused and client centric, to more intangible areas, such as what it truly means to transform your workforce. Let's also delve into overcoming common hurdles such as initial reluctancy of users, how to use KPIs for the whole transformation, and how to gain C-Suite buy-in.
Join this session to hear from Van Lanschot Kempen's leadership team on how they transformed a traditional bank in an old-fashioned industry, to an advanced and revamped wealth management firm.

Are We Forever Doomed To Software Supply Chain Security?
The adoption of open-source software continues to grow and creates significant security concerns for everything from software supply chain attacks in language ecosystem registries to cloud-native application security concerns. In this session, we will explore how developers are targeted as a vehicle for malware distribution, how immensely we depend on open-source maintainers to release timely security fixes, and how the race to the cloud creates new security concerns for developers to cope with, as computing resources turn into infrastructure as code.

Back to Basics: Building a Good Security Foundation to Avoid Becoming a Sophisticated Failure
We know how to do good security. Best practices are not new. We have new technologies, like Machine Learning, AI, etc. And there are so many good security leaders out there â?" smart people who are energetic and passionate. And yet, security programs don't always work. How is that possible?
In today's world, we see one threat after another emerging, and for every threat, a new solution arises. Yet no matter how many solutions you implement, without a good foundation, it's still a recipe for disaster.
Let's close the gap between know how and effectiveness by tackling practical tips to improve security.
- Risk (& compliance) as a starting point, see what's happening in the outside world
- Focus on what's important
- Be smart, and add value on a budget. You don't need to blow your budget keeping safe
- Keep it simple

Solve Your Business Challenges by Finding the Right Transformation Partner
Businesses are accelerating their adoption of the cloud, but each journey is unique. A business may already have a private cloud solution, but now needs public cloud for scale. Business that are using public cloud could require the security capabilities of private clouds for critical applications. There are many options available to meet business goals and each one has their benefit. This session with Rackspace Technology and Wyndham Hotels will explore how organisations can overcome challenges when embarking on a digital transformation journey and evolve their legacy infrastructure solutions with cloud strategies suited to their businesses.

How to Confidently Address Today's Threats and Communicate Risk Level to the Board
Year after year, security teams struggle to defend against the same threats that continuously grow more complex. Additionally, digital transformation has expanded the attack surface, further complicating the process of identifying, mitigating, and reporting on risk. The stakes are high for security teams every day, but when there are newsworthy threats, the board knocks on their door. For executives, it will become increasingly important to understand the evolving threat landscape, the impact this has on their organization, and how to answer questions from the board quickly, or even better, proactively before they ask.
Key Takeaways:
- An overview of current threat trends across multiple industries and common attacker paths
- Tips to remediate and proactively identify these threats through best practice sharing for mitigation, detection, and response
- Walk through of a proven formula to confidently address the board's questions around newsworthy threats, using ransomware as an example.
