VJay LaRosa, Senior Director, Converged Security Architecture, Automatic Data Processing, Inc

Big Data – and the intelligence that comes from it – is presenting tremendous opportunities for organizations to better compete, understand their customers and improve operational efficiency.  And now that it's at the top of the CIO’s agenda, CSOs and CISOs are increasingly called upon to manage the related risks and security  challenges while still delivering value to the enterprise and shareholders.  Join us for this session to learn key steps for protecting Big Data, and get an overview of what it takes to secure the Big Data underpinnings of an enterprise organization like ADP.

10:00 am - 10:30 amSecuring Big Data is a Business Imperative
Alan Kessler, President and CEO, Vormetric, Inc

Big Data initiatives are heating up. From financial services and government to healthcare, retail and manufacturing, organizations across almost every vertical market are investing in Big Data technologies to improve the quality and speed of decision making as well as enable better planning, forecasting, marketing, and customer service. The big challenge, however, is to reap the enormous business benefits of Big Data in an era of intensifying cyber threats without putting important data at risk of a breach or violating privacy or compliance requirements. Big Data security is a monumental challenge and is becoming a growing concern for enterprises of all sizes as they look to gather business intelligence through Big Data analytics while also doing what's necessary to protect what matters. Join us to learn about this and more.

11:30 am - 12:00 pmData Classification: Walking the Fine Line Between Access and Privacy in a Big Data World
David N. Kroening, CISO, New York State Insurance Fund
Bob Bragdon, Publisher, CSO magazine
Whenever any organization amasses data, it’s important to leverage data access technologies and define policies and enforce them. Big Data is only exacerbating those needs. In this executive interview with CSO Magazine’s Bob Bragdon and David Kroening, the CISO for the New York State Insurance Fund, they'll share details on the essential elements of a data classification strategy that sets the foundation for protecting sensitive data and privacy while still deriving benefits from a Big Data initiative. They’ll discuss ways to determine access rights (especially when data is stored off-premise), the importance of a breach notification clause in outsourcing and managed services contracts, and the basics of risk assessments on data access. David will also share insight on how to manage tensions that often occur between data privacy and public safety, including the handling of data that is bound by the rules in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
12:00 pm - 1:15 pmNetworking Lunch with Discussion Tables

In this panel discussion, CSO’s Bob Bragdon talks about the flip side of the Big Data Security coin -- how to leverage Big Data strategies to create better enterprise security.  This session will explore the limitations of traditional security tools and expand on ways enterprises can leverage new solutions powered by Big Data.
 
2:00 pm - 2:15 pmData-Centric Security for Big Data Solutions
Ely Kahn, VP of Business Development and Co-Founder, sqrrl

In the noisy world of Big Data, a new concept is coming into focus:  data-centric security.  Historically, security rules and access controls have been applied at the application layer.  But when today's organizations implement a data-centric security model and attach security labels to the data objects themselves, they can build simpler and more powerful Big Data applications -- including those that involve security analytics.  In this session, you'll learn about Accumulo, a NoSQL database that was originally developed by the National Security Agency, and a successful open source project hosted by the Apache Foundation.  It has a data-centric approach to security, is scalable to many petabytes of data, and natively integrates with Hadoop.  Join us as we discuss these topics and more.

2:15 pm - 3:00 pmThe New Rules of Big Data: Creating Better Frameworks for Converged Governance, Risk, Compliance, Security and Privacy
Andy Roth, Partner, Dentons; former Chief Privacy Officer, American Express
 
As enterprise data sets continue to grow -- and more individuals and systems require more access -- enterprise information security must scale.  But what about taking a big step back?  Isn't this an opportunity to look at business processes and operations, and then achieve the holistic promise of a converged framework that considers risk management, governance, compliance, security and privacy?  Join us to hear about the new rules of Big Data, and how you can seize them as a security opportunity for your enterprise.
