Forrester Announces Full Conference Agenda For Security & Risk Summit 2024

By: via Business Wire

The event will help security, risk, and privacy leaders reimagine their security strategy and prepare for a new era propelled by advances in AI and quantum computing

Forrester (Nasdaq: FORR) today announced the full conference agenda for Security & Risk Summit 2024, being held in Baltimore and digitally, December 9–11, 2024. In the next few years, AI will revolutionize every aspect of life, disrupt the tech ecosystem, upend knowledge work, and trigger a new wave of unconventional threats. As a result, security, privacy, and risk leaders need to rethink their existing approach to managing security operations.

This year’s Summit will equip chief information security officers and other security, privacy, and risk leaders with actionable guidance to transform security from a cost center to a profit powerhouse in several ways. These include building a risk department to proactively identify potential threats; accelerating business results with trusted cloud applications; reimagining protection, detection, and response frameworks; and applying new thinking to identity and fraud management.

Noteworthy Summit keynotes, sessions, and workshops include:

  • Predictions 2025. This keynote will unveil Forrester’s 2025 predictions, offering attendees the opportunity to vote on which ones they feel will shape the future of cybersecurity, privacy, and risk.
  • Improve Security With AI. In this Forrester Certification workshop, learn how to effectively use generative AI to improve security operations and build resilience.
  • The Human Element. Discover in this keynote how human risk management is challenging traditional security training and awareness.
  • The Continuous Risk Revolution Is Here. Down With The Three Lines Of Defense. This keynote will highlight why the “three lines of defense” model is no longer fit for purpose and how security and risk leaders must shift to a new model: continuous risk management.
  • Biometric Frontiers: Unlocking The Future Of Engagement. This session will compare and contrast regional approaches to biometrics, examine the security challenges and benefits of their implementation, and reveal how biometrics holds the keys to a range of engagement models of the future.

“As AI and quantum computing disrupt the tech ecosystem, security, risk, and privacy leaders need to prepare now to safeguard their organizations against unconventional threats,” said Joseph Blankenship, event cohost and VP, research director at Forrester. “This year’s Summit will provide guidance to help leaders break away from a conventional-strategy mindset and take fresh approaches to data protection, human risk management, application risk management, and security operations.”

At Security & Risk Summit, Forrester will also recognize the winner of its Security & Risk Enterprise Leadership Award for implementing a security strategy that builds trust with customers, employees, and partners. Additionally, for the third year in a row, Forrester is partnering with the nonprofit Women in Security and Privacy to support women in leading the future of privacy and security. Summit attendees will also experience facilitated discussions, consulting workshops, and special programs, including the Executive Leadership Exchange, an exclusive program targeted for C-level leaders.
