Agenda
- Welcome(Plenary)
- Thought Leadership: Leadership, Business Resiliency, and Success in the Digital Future(Plenary) The past two years have brought about significant global shifts that have accelerated digital transformation. In this fireside chat on Leadership, Business Resiliency, and Success in the Digital Future , we’ll discuss how CIOs can leverage solutions to increase agility with multi-cloud flexibility, enable teams to learn and work from anywhere through hybrid work environments, and create new value through data-driven innovation.
- Keynote: People, Process, & Platforms(Plenary) Many technologists have had their departments shift from being cost centres to revenue generators for their organisations. That isn't the only shift that is coming for tech executives. Margins are reduced and expectations are high. Innovation must move faster. Leadership must evolve. Risk has a whole new meaning in 2021. Business continuity is just one of many complex business challenges creating unanticipated market turbulence. Join this session to gain insight into how tech leaders are turning complexity and chaos into real strategy execution initiatives.
- Thought Leadership Racing Against Time - Breach Protection and Response(Plenary) Most companies have experienced security breaches at some point in time. The average breach detection gap (BDG) which is the time between the initial breach of a network and its discovery, was found to be 280 days according to a recent report. And in cases where the breach was coupled with advanced attacks, it could infect and compromise the environment in just a matter of minutes, if not seconds. Join this session as we discuss about counter-breach technologies, its rationale and how it fits into the overall cybersecurity strategy to stay ahead in the digital-first era.
- Keynote: Delivering Business Change(Plenary) Digital transformation is near the top of every CIO's agenda today. To reap the benefits, it's critical to get new products to market faster. Agile and DevOps methods have ushered in a new era of rapid development and delivery. Yet testing remains a bottleneck. IT leaders must juggle multiple initiatives, from adoption of SaaS technologies to legacy modernisation and cloud migration all while ensuring that the business workflows that rely on these applications are not interrupted in the process: How innovative CIO's have successfully redefined their organization's end-to-end quality strategies and their top advice for others embarking on modernization journeys The top challenges of enterprise application testing â?" from skills gaps to a lack of IT-business alignment to ensuring business continuity during major upgrades and migrations The best practices testing leaders are implementing to address these challenges, accelerate innovation, and minimize risk
- Thought Leadership: Securing the Digital-First Business Without Compromising Efficiency(Plenary) Digital transformation has taken on renewed urgency since the pandemic started. Each new digitalization initiative brings new cyber risks to businesses. While the top challenge for security leaders remain focused on finding staff with the necessary skills to mitigate today’s security challenges, business leaders are trying to understand the return on investments and the immediate value of IT security. A well planned cyber security strategy and solution should complement and support these digitalization efforts, without compromising the efficiencies and benefits that they bring: Evolution of security strategies Reassessment of security risk Simplifying and automating security Shifting from a point-defense approach to a holistic framework
- Panel: Evolution of the CIO(Plenary) As enterprises accelerate digitalization and strengthen enterprise resilience and agility post pandemic, CIOs must expand and evolve their responsibilities to increase contributions as business executives and leaders of IT. Emerging trends, expected challenges and what’s ahead for CIOs in 2022 Leading the team to digital transformation CIO’s role in contributing to overall success of the organisation
