mWISE 2024

Welcome to August 2024’s second edition of Cloud CISO Perspectives. The Mandiant Worldwide Information Security Exchange (mWISE) Conference is coming up, and today, Google Cloud Security’s Peter Bailey discusses why CISOs, security leaders, and those aiming to advance through the ranks should attend.

What is absent when one does not participate in mWISE

Knowing the primary threats to your sector and prioritizing defensive measures across people, processes, and technologies has always been the foundation of a successful cyberdefense program. In addition to compliance, security directors must actively manage their organization’s security posture using a sophisticated blend of process- and technology-based solutions. Having access to the finest knowledge about dangers and how to defend against them is a crucial component of that equation.

Attending mWISE, which is being held this year for the first time in Denver, Colorado, on September 18–19, is one of the greatest ways to get knowledge and the most recent information on risks and best practices. mWISE is the place for security leaders and practitioners to meet and form relationships with colleagues, whether you’re a CISO, security operations leader, engineer, journalist, or analyst. You can also hear directly from Mandiant’s frontline experts and security practitioners.

Mandiant hosts an annual cybersecurity and knowledge-sharing conference called mWISE. It might be the only one created by a vendor that doesn’t care about the vendor in the entire universe. Security professionals of all stripes from entry-level to CISO gather at mWISE to exchange their distinct experiences and defensive strategy know-how.

It’s intentional for what transpires at mWISE to be different from other conferences. Attendees should leave with a greater grasp of the threat landscape, a more robust peer network to rely on for information exchange, and an improved knowledge of how cybersecurity is changing in tandem with the technology it supports.

At the conference, security executives and practitioners debate four important questions, which are as follows:

  • Are the risks we are considering appropriate?
  • What do we know from past occurrences that have occurred?
  • Which modern methods and approaches are considered best?
  • How can we improve the breadth and depth of our knowledge on risk management and security posture?

This year’s keynote speakers include Charles Carmakal, CTO of Mandiant Consulting; Jen Easterly, director of CISA; John Hultquist, chief analyst of Mandiant Intelligence; and Kevin Mandia, founder of Mandiant and strategic security advisor to Google Cloud. A distinguished panel of cybersecurity experts will discuss the current state of ransomware, and novelist and neuroscientist David Eagleman will ponder when artificial intelligence will be able to match human intelligence.

Google Cloud will be looking at how creative businesses are utilizing AI to bolster defenses, automate threat detection, and thwart AI-based attacks in order to address the new challenges presented by the usage of AI in cybersecurity. Leaders in the field who are at the forefront of security innovation powered by AI will discuss what they have discovered so far about the AI revolution.

The Next-Gen CISO track comprises specially selected sessions led by CISOs from top 1,000 global businesses. The aim of the program is to prepare the upcoming security professionals to confidently take on the role of CISO. Topics discuss include:

  • Addressing both important and unimportant cybersecurity issues to the board of directors
  • Addressing the dynamic threat landscape, data breaches, and rapid injection assaults
  • Navigating the criteria for regulatory compliance
  • Handling risks associated with outside vendors
  • Providing strong privacy and safety for data
  • Addressing worries about lawsuits brought about by individual violations
  • Acquiring skilled cybersecurity personnel in a demanding work setting

For security practitioners and leaders who wish to learn more about the current threat and risk environment and how other people are acting in it, many people believed that mWISE is an essential event to attend.

With the backing of a sizable community with common goals, cybersecurity is essentially a team sport. mWISE is one of the best venues to connect with peers, who can help us get much better at managing the various risks we face.
