Executive Dinner . Future-Proofed Security 

An Executive Dinner by GEN - The Global Executive Network is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and peers and discuss the latest and most important trends for a specific industry-related or management-focused topic.

This Executive Dinner is created to discuss "Strategies for Future-Proofed Security" in a high-level peer-to-peer environment. This exclusive event is limited to a number of 18–22 executive guests and participation is always free of charge.

In statistics, a degree of freedom is a variable in an equation that can change without impacting the outcome. For example, you shouldn’t care what color the truck was that delivered your new furniture (a degree of freedom), but you should care that it has a cover on a rainy day. In security, we often struggle to define what variables truly matter and which ones are free to change.

Does it really increase risk if we let the marketing department use Dropbox? What would happen if desktop antivirus went away? There is more flexibility in any system than there first appears and some technology and architectural choices can reduce or increase our degrees of freedom.

At this Executive Dinner, Dr. Hugh Thompson, Program Committee Chairman for RSA Conference USA and Chief Technology Officer looks at what we can learn from mathematics and other fields and how we can identify and leverage degrees of freedom in information security.

Topics to be discussed at this Dinner:

• How do you make decisions today that give you the flexibility to secure the new devices, business models, services, regulations of the future?
• How can you set yourself to rapidly onboard new (yet to be invented) security tools and techniques rapidly?

This Executive Dinner is of particular interest to:
