8:00am Welcome
8:15 – 9:15am KeyNote - Ramses Gallego Topic: The Future of NOW or Change….as a constant.

If there is something constant in the universe, that’s speed of light. And change. Change is a constant in today’s world. We are living through times where the present is leaving us... every single second. These are times where present is already past and the need to adapt and adopt new and emerging technologies has become instrumental for success. Organizations are being pressed with time-to-market issues while, in reality, they should a have time-to-value perspective. In an epoch where technology is pervasive and you can hardly find businesses that do not depend on technology, we have to face change as one critical variable in the planning of enterprise strategy. Because we have something crystal clear: that the future...is going to change. We have to capture the present realizing that it has already become past and that the next business iteration has already happened, whether we like it or not.

By attending this session, the attendee will enhance her/his perception on the importance of time when designing, planning and executing a business strategy. The difference between strategy and tactics will be mentioned as well as the need of adapting to change in a world with no secrets, no barriers, no frontiers. The attendee will gain a deeper understanding on the issues of adaptability, trustability and reliability and, more importantly, will discover that we are living in the future. The Future of NOW.

1:00pm Welcome to the Afternoon Session

1:15– 2:10pm Chris Romeo (Security Journey) - Topic: 10 Truths about Docker and Kubernetes security

Are Docker and Kubernetes part of the way that your organization executes modern web applications? Do you have a grasp of the security architecture for both? These tools provide many security features, but they are not enabled by default. In this session, we’ll review the state of security for Docker and Kubernetes and explore ten truths about applying security. You’ll gain an appreciation for the security architecture for both, and experience truths such as “containers are not VMs, VMs are not
containers”, “Docker and Kubernetes are not security products”, and “Containers need vulnerability scanning”.

2:10 – 2:15pm Break / Change over Speaker


2:15 – 3:10pm Stephen Bish Topic: $1,000,000 Global Ransomware Lockdown: Chronicles of a Rapid Responder

Ransomware is one of the most devastating cyber-attack methods that exists today, and these attacks are seemingly getting more difficult to prevent and recover from. Does your organization have a plan for when the lights go out, data and systems become unavailable, the phones stop working, or the manufacturing floor comes to a crashing halt? Join the Schneider Downs cybersecurity team as they share a real world experience of a massive ransomware attack that shut down a global business operation for many weeks. The Schneider Downs team will provide a stunning first-hand account of the realities of a well-coordinated and crafted ransomware attack from an international threat actor that has eluded law enforcement for many years.
This presentation will:
·       Give the audience an inside look at how a ransomware attack really works
·       Analyze the tactics, techniques and methods used by the threat actors
·       Discuss controls that could have prevented or detected the malicious actions
·       Provide accounts of lessons learned by those experiencing their first incident
·       Discuss the benefits of proper planning and coordination with law enforcement resources

3:15 – 4:10pm KeyNote & Close - Ramses Gallego Topic: Quantum Computing: a Re-Evolution

Quantum Computing modifies many of things we take for granted in businesses today. The way we create and keep secret is challenged and quantum technologies disrupt different vertical, many sectors. Built on the theory of quantum physics, if quantum computers would exist they would represent a gigantic leap in computing power and the way we use technology. But do they exist and what can we do with them? There are massive investments around the world in this discipline and, in the very same way that the space race and the fight for nuclear power have been instrumental in recent decades, we are experiencing now not an era of changes but the change of an era. By attending this session attendees will understand the actual situation of quantum technologies and what they mean for organizations, the challenges we will encounter and, most importantly, the impact it has on the way we govern the Enterprise IT. Since quantum computing is not an evolution. It’s a Re-Evolution.
