3rd Annual IIA/ISACA Hacking Conference
Chicago, IL
The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), in conjunction with the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA), held their 3rd annual Hacking Conference on November 3rd and 4th, competing with the Chicago Cubs for the attention of ~300 attendees. Glenn Kapetansky, Trexin’s CSO, joined other CISOs for a panel discussion on “Perspectives on addressing today’s security challenges”:
• Tina LaCroix-Hauri, Moderator and CISO for the City of Chicago
• Marc Varner, CISO, McDonalds
• Glenn Kapetansky, CSO, Trexin Group
• Nick Percocco, CISO, Uptake
• Seth McAllister, CISO, Hub International
The ~300 professionals in the audience drove the discussion, along a variety of topics of interest to them: cloud (how to contract with cloud providers, how manage their risk, how protect data, how to modify policies, how to protect data, etc), data protection (especially in the cloud, and data lakes, and from a variety of devices), how we became CISOs and what the CISO of the future looks like. Everyone came away learning something new, even the panelists!
