Virtual CISO 360 Fireside Chat
Tuesday 22 September 2020
12:30-14:00 (British Summertime)

Communication security and data leak prevention: How are CISOs taking a proactive approach in today’s changing landscape

*There is no cost to attend for in-house practitioners, CISOS, CIOs, Chief Privacy Officers, DPOs, Heads of Information Security.

You are invited to attend this very special virtual Fireside Chat: CISO-Communication Security 360 that will be hosted on Tuesday 22 September to connect and benchmark with CISOs and senior cybersecurity peers.

As a guest, you are invited to ask questions, participate in live polls and to ‘spotlight’ onto the virtual stage to contribute insights or to ask a question.  Hosted by Pulse Conferences, sponsored by Zivver, the core objective of this discussion is to connect peers for an energetic debate on the practical approaches, realities, challenges and successes.  This is not a webinar, it is a 100% live, interactive broadcast. 

Some topics that will be discussed include:

What are the greatest concerns with communication security

• Why legacy infrastructure still dominates how we communicate
• What challenges do we face using email and file transfer for our business communications? How can privacy and security features be improved?
• How can we minimise data leaks more effectively?
• Raising employee awareness and preventing human error
• Why the real challenge with encryption is actually about key management
• Why is authentication considered ‘normal’ but not for email? How authentication complements email 

How to effectively secure communications and manage new challenges since remote working became the norm

• How to ensure that your entire organisation can communicate safely, from anywhere
• What type of inbox management tools can help employees abide by compliance rules?

We welcome you to “spotlight” onto the virtual stage to share best practices and approaches that work for communication security and data protection.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 22 September for what promises to be an educational, memorable – as well as entertaining – discussion with peers!

Yours sincerely,

Team Pulse

Marcus Alldrick, Digital Risk Management, Security and Compliance Advisor 

Born at a very early age and growing up in a culture where cyber was a prefix for anything automated, menacing and malevolent (how history has a tendency of repeating itself), Marcus entered the world of Data Processing as it was known back then after graduating from university.  Progressing from programming into analysis and then data architecture Marcus became the first devolved Information Risk and Security Manager for Barclaycard.  After seven years in that role he moved banks and became Head of Information Security for Abbey National plc, now Santander UK.  After six years at Abbey and a move into consulting for a large UK utilities company Marcus joined KPMG as a Principal Advisor.  Eighteen months later he joined Lloyd’s of London as its CISO and subsequently became its Head of Digital Risk Management and Compliance, also embracing responsibility for data protection and privacy, during his 10 years tenure there. Having worked in IT for over 40 years, specialising in information risk, protection, security and compliance for the latter 27 years or so, Marcus decided to leave full-time corporate life and move to the South Coast of England in mid-2017, ever the seafaring Fisherman’s Friend.  As well as being a proud member of the Pulse Conferences family, Marcus now provides pro bono advisory and volunteering services and is a guest lecturer at the University of Portsmouth.

Master of Ceremonies

Clive Room, Pulse Conferences

Clive has worked as a marketeer within cybersecurity since 2000. As the Marketing Manager at Portcullis Computer Security he organised all their bespoke events from seminars to hospitality events like the famous Portcullis Arms during Infosec. He was also responsible for their involvement with conferences and exhibitions all over Europe. His experience in promoting and presenting at cyber security events is matched by his passion for helping people understand the critical importance of mitigating the risks and protecting themselves and their organisations from cybercrime. He believes that in terms of reputational damage and operational costs, security breaches should be a key concern of everyone from the ground floor worker up to board and director level. Clive was Chairman of The White Hat Committee, the charity for the information security industry, which raises money for ChildLine and Barnardo’s throughout the year. This January’s White Hat Ball was the most successful to date raising over two hundred thousand pounds and the next White Hat Car Rally is in September. Clive is proud to be a part of the dynamic team bringing CISO 360 Congress to the marketplace as a game changer in cybersecurity events.

He had studied Medical Information Science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Care Management at Erasmus University. Additionally, he holds a PhD in Medicine from the UvA on the development, implementation and evaluation of healthcare support systems. Throughout his studies, Rick worked as a programmer. The idea to launch his own company was conceived during Rick’s career as a strategy consultant. As a health-industry consultant, he noticed that a wide range of sensitive data was being frequently handled within organizations; this included patient information, company performance, and legal documents. Many of his clients had questions about data security and how data was being re-used, etc. He realised that there was a strong need for a secure communication solution to safeguard and manage sensitive data (including for GDPR compliance), and shortly afterwards, ZIVVER was born.
