Discussion #1: Why is GRC Stuck in the Year 2000?

In the year 2000, the world didn’t implode from Y2K, the GameCube hit the shelves (Metroid Prime—if you know, you know), American Beauty swept the awards, and Brangelina became official. Meanwhile, GRC existed… and, while it has evolved on paper, many organizations still run it like it’s the early 2000s—reliant on spreadsheets, checkbox compliance, and frameworks that don’t reflect today’s cloud, SaaS, or integrated tech stacks.

So why has GRC struggled to modernize? In this session, we’ll explore the legacy mindsets, regulatory inertia, and the persistent disconnect between security teams and business leadership that have kept GRC stuck in the past. More importantly, we’ll discuss what needs to change.

Discussion #2: Buying Down Risk Through Strategic Technology Investments

Today’s CISOs are increasingly called upon to communicate in terms of business risk, bridging the gap between cybersecurity and executive decision-making.But what if you could extend that clarity to your technology purchasing decisions as well? Let’s explore a fresh perspective that empowers you to achieve exactly that.

Networking: Happy Hour (optional)
