Having a positive influence on the global information security crisis
Let's face it, headlines about cybersecurity are usually bad news. And with the constant spread of fear, uncertainty, and doubt, how is the professional community supposed to meaningfully advance the conversation about driving value with data?
James and Christian will discuss how to turn the information security conversation from one only about value at risk to one that includes opportunities for driving value.
Prior to Ward PLLC and SourceMedia, Christian Ward was EVP of Data Partnerships for Yext, Chief Data Officer for Infogroup, and Global Head of Content Innovation at Thomson Reuters. He has also founded two different data companies, one in financial research and the other in media analytics.
James ("Jay") is a privacy attorney and consultant, and offers clients expertise in data security, information management, and privacy while providing high-quality legal services.

Making the 20 critical security controls work for you
Everyone knows that a robust cyber defense program should be designed with defense in depth, but how to tactically implement layered defenses isn't necessarily obvious. For years, risk and security professionals have looked to the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Top 20 Critical Security Controls for guidance.
In addition to his work on the CIS Controls, Joshua is also focused on developing companion guides for mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. Prior to CIS, Joshua researched enterprise mobile security, cellular security, and electronic voting at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). While at NIST, he managed the mobile security laboratory at the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE). |
