Registration opens today for CxO Trust Summit, which will explore C-suite’s biggest cloud computing challenges and how CxO Trust Initiative mitigates risk
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment, today announced that Ricardo Lafosse, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Kraft Heinz, will headline CSA’s upcoming CxO Trust Summit on June 6. The event, held in conjunction with the 2022 RSA Conference (June 6-9, Moscone Center, San Francisco) will explore the C-Suite’s biggest challenges in today’s cloud computing environment and how CSA’s CxO Trust Initiative can help mitigate risk.
“Cloud security is increasingly becoming the foundation for cybersecurity and a key enabler of the global economy. Executives and boards of directors are more focused on cloud and cloud security than ever before and CSA’s CxO Trust Summit provides key insights relevant to leaders within the private and public sector at this critical moment,” said Jim Reavis, co-founder and CEO, Cloud Security Alliance. “Protecting a company’s cloud-based infrastructure is not without its challenges, and so we are extremely pleased that Ricardo Lafosse will be joining us to share his first-hand experience in how to best move a company forward while simultaneously contending with myriad threats, vulnerabilities and governance challenges.”
In his keynote, “Embracing a Cloud-First Model,” Lafosse will share the methodology his organization leveraged in moving to a cloud-first model, which in turn enabled the company to be more nimble, effective, fortified, and positioned for success even as the cyber threat landscape continues to grow more complex and far-reaching.
Attendees will walk away with actionable tips on engaging with high-ranking company officers and hear from key industry leaders, who will examine how various solutions and standards have advanced to meet the cybersecurity challenges confronting all C-level stakeholders, their executive teams, and governing bodies. The agenda will feature such sessions as:
- CxO Panel Discussion: The Industry’s Best: Designing the Perfect Cloud Strategy. Panelists: Rick Doten, Vice President/Information Security, Centene Corp., and CISO, Carolina Complete Health (Charlotte, NC); Peter Campbell, Director/Cloud Security Engineering, Cigna; Larry Whiteside Jr., co-founder and President, Cyversity. This panel will explore the factors that must be taken into account when creating a robust cloud protection strategy and examine how cybersecurity, cloud, IT, and other organizational teams must work together to implement and oversee the strategy.
- Aligning Cloud Risk with Business Risk. This panel discussion will examine the cybersecurity risks organizations face in today’s digital world and whether security teams are properly supporting business transformation decisions.
