ISSA is the community of choice for international cybersecurity professionals dedicated to advancing individual growth, managing technology risk and protecting critical information and infrastructure.

With more than a dozen privacy laws in effect or coming into effect, digital advertising is increasingly becoming a regulated industry. While proper notice, fulfillment of opt-out rights, and post-transaction consumer requests (e.g., deletion) have dominated the enforcement and compliance landscape, attention is increasingly being paid to one of the fundamental changes in state privacy laws – their inclusion of requirements around vendor diligence and accountability. 

What does this mean for SSPs, DSPS, and the rest of the digital advertising ecosystem? We will examine how personal data traverses the digital advertising ecosystem, why the privacy diligence and accountability requirements under state privacy laws are paramount in light of those data flows,  changes in business practices needed to achieve compliance, and how technology solutions will need to evolve to meet these requirements.

Privacy Compliance and the Importance of Due Diligence: Redefining Privacy

Platform consolidation — the strategic integration of multiple tools and infrastructure into a single, cohesive platform — is a strategic priority for security and IT leaders, driven by increasing tech stack complexity and budgetary pressure. 
 
Unfortunately, platform consolidation projects often struggle to meet expectations due to gaps between what platforms can do and what it should do. As a result, IT and Security team productivity slows even further, and business initiatives attempting to connect and secure the organization’s technology stack fall short.  
 
IDC analyst and guest speaker Ghassan Abdo has helped dozens of organizations navigate these situations. In this webinar, he’ll discuss: 
• 3-5 common roadblocks in platform consolidation efforts
• Real-world examples of organizations that overcame those challenges
• Actionable strategies you can bring into your own organization

Common roadblocks when simplifying your IT stack

Data Privacy Framework Program

In our presentation, we'll compare the European Union's GDPR with Caribbean data privacy laws, highlighting how both aim to protect personal data but differ in scope, compliance, and enforcement. We'll discuss the unique challenges Caribbean businesses face in meeting GDPR standards, due to different regulatory environments and penalties. The focus will be on how these differences present opportunities for the Caribbean to strengthen its data privacy frameworks, fostering trust and enabling international partnerships in a data-centric world.

Similarities and differences between GDPR and Data Privacy in the Caribbean

In the dynamic landscape of SaaS, the role of security transcends its traditional defensive function, becoming a powerful differentiator. In this talk, we delve deep into the paradigm shift where security is not just a safeguard but a strategic catalyst. 

Leading with security is more than a buzzword; it's a revenue-driving force. We will explore how proactive security measures can elevate SaaS organizations, foster customer trust, and be pivotal for both internal and external stakeholders - from auditors to customers, from GTM functions to board-level validation.

 You'll learn how this approach allows SaaS companies to not only detect and mitigate risks effectively - but also adapt swiftly to the ever-evolving threat landscape. 

Join us as we explore the transformative power of security in the SaaS industry and discover how it can be harnessed as a formidable force for growth, customer trust, and security by design.

Security By Design: Building Trust through Product Security

It’s all about the data.  Whether it's Data Subject Request or a Data Breach the amount of effort, cost and impact on a company's reputation depend on the quantity and the type of personal data involved.  The more personal data, the larger the consequences.  This presentation is a practical approach to privacy and data protection that includes strategies to help you stay compliant with the evolving privacy regulations.  No legalese or technical jargon, just a talk about applicability.

50 shades of data

In 1911, the first International Women’s Day was celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Switzerland and Germany.  But only in 1977, did the United Nations adopt March 8th for global celebration and advocacy of women’s rights and equality around the world.  We have made headway in the cybersecurity C-Suite level, but more inroads are required, to build out the middle.  We will review ways to accelerate that success and continue to build on accomplishments that matter.  We will share insights on the heavy hitters that will positively impact our individual careers going forward, actions that will help us achieve growth for women in the field overall, and those that can help us bridge the globe.

Third-Party Risk Management programs are in constant motion. They are a delicate balance between keeping up with new threats, navigating the evolving regulatory landscape, introducing new technologies and always trying to do more with less. Today, a static program is a failing program. What’s your plan to incrementally improve your processes over time? Join ProcessUnity for a discussion on how forward-thinking TPRM teams are incorporating new relationships, technologies and techniques to mature their risk-reduction capabilities.
Attend this session for trends, tips and techniques to help you:
• Build a strong partnership between procurement and information security to maximize both internal and external risk reduction
• Connect your internal controls to those of your vendors for a true assessment of your organization’s preparedness
• Leverage expert content, enterprise data and industry subject-matter expertise to reduce workloads, streamline assessments and confirm results are acceptable
• Employ artificial risk intelligence to significantly reduce the most time-intensive assessment activities

Beyond the Questionnaire: Tips to Modernize Your TPRM Program

In the last twenty years, privileged access management (PAM) has gone through many evolutions to keep pace with the ever-changing cyberthreat landscape. Still, a vital risk remains front and center: Privileged accounts are crucial for the day-to-day work of admins, but they are usually needed for only short periods of time — the rest of the day, they can be compromised by attackers and misused by insiders.

Old-school PAM solutions reduce this risk only to some extent, while being costly and time-consuming to deploy. But it doesn’t have to be this way! In this session, we’ll explore a modern, easy-to-adopt approach that deals with this core problem head-on.
Join this session to learn how you can:
- Leverage privilege orchestration to remove known attack surfaces when at rest
- Dynamically delegate access according to use case without impeding admin efficiency
- Quickly adopt modern PAM tools to centrally control and audit access

Security Renaissance: Why it's time to break with old-school PAM solutions

A recent report on cybersecurity and generative AI made an extraordinary claim: 75% of the information security professionals surveyed witnessed an increase in cyber-related attacks over the prior 12 months, and 85% attributed that increase to attackers using AI. If this is true, it represents a sea change in the cyber threat landscape and raises some critical questions about how we respond to it. In this presentation, we will review examples of AI-enabled threat vectors, evolving attacks on AI systems, and the different approaches taken to combat them by the United States and the European Union.

 Takeaways include:
 * Attack types that leverage AI as well as unique threats to AI systems
 * Defending against AI-powered attacks and protecting the integrity of AI systems
 * A comparison of the proposed EU AI Act with the White House Executive Order on AI
