The Executive Summit at Black Hat Europe in London will return for its second year in 2018. The Black Hat Executive Summit offers CISOs and other cybersecurity executives an opportunity to hear from a variety of industry experts who are helping to shape this next generation of information security strategy. We'll be dissecting the latest technologies designed to keep ahead of sophisticated adversaries and provide a peek into future platforms; we'll outline the next-level skills and strategies CISOs need to bolster their relevance and wow the board; and, of course, we'll discuss the latest techniques for maintaining a proactive approach to data protection. For CISOs and executives looking to transform from a mere manager of information into a corporate champion of business growth, it's imperative to stay on top of the latest insight. That journey begins at the Black Hat Executive Summit.

Baking in Security: Why You Should Be Practicing DevSecOps
  • Jimmy Sanders, Information Security, Netflix

DevOps demonstrated to IT practitioners that combining development best practices with operational guidelines can yield faster results and better software. DevSecOps enables IT to incorporate security protocols into the process, saving time, money, and headaches as security is implemented and tested iteratively during development. Jimmy Sanders from Netflix presents examples of companies succeeding at DevSecOps and discuss the challenges of retrofitting existing development processes, training staff, and bridging on-premise vs. cloud-based approaches. We'll also discuss the realities of the time, costs, and skills involved in setting up DevSecOps and keeping it running smoothly.

13:30 - 14:00
Surviving a Cyber-Weapon: One Year on from NotPetya
  • Andy Jones, Research Specialist, Information Security Forum; Former CISO, Maersk

As the CISO for Maersk Line, last year Andy experienced probably the most disruptive cyber-attack in history. Now, as a researcher with a leading cyber-security organisation, he draws on his experience and that of over 400 global organisations to pose the question - what have we learnt? In the era of the cyber weapon Andy will discuss the implications of the NotPetya attack and suggest practical steps to improve resilience. Are you ready?

14:00 - 14:40
Moving Your Organisation from Internal Pentesting to Internal Red Teaming with Theoretical RT Engagements
  • Adam Schoeman, VP, Senior Red Team Cyber Analyst

For a business, there are a lot of advantages to utilizing red team engagements, especially when the team is internal. However, this approach is expensive in terms of analyst time and potential risk that is inherent from working on production systems. While that may be the nature of the red team beast, there are aspects of those engagements that can be carried over into a theoretical engagement. In this talk, Adam Schoeman will cover not only how a table-top or theoretical red team engagement can be a logical stepping stone from an internal pentesting team, but how it can be just as valuable to the business as a hands-on exercise. This talk will highlight which items to focus on, how to navigate common pitfalls, and how to evolve when you've nailed it and want to kick it up a notch.

14:40 - 15:00 Networking Break
15:00 - 15:30
Hacking the Skills Shortage
  • Jane Frankland, CISO Advisor, Speaker, Author & Champion for Women in Cyber Security

As hackers become more sophisticated, the skills shortage and the lack of diversity within the cybersecurity sector become even more apparent. Whether we’re talking about gender, competency or background, the current trend of recruiting from within small pools means the current workforce is not robust enough to deal with current threats - let alone future ones. Join best-selling author, and 20-year cyber security veteran Jane Frankland to understand the issues caused by a lack of diversity and how we, as an industry, can overcome it. Key takeaways include:

  • Understand why the skills shortage has evolved and its impact on leaders and society
  • Learn how to overcome the skills shortage problem through better leadership, security integration and stakeholder collaboration
  • Discover what data on the cybersecurity industry and more standardised job functions across the sector which will help with career progression and training
15:30 - 16:00
