Who:

        
        
        
        
        
        
          Larry Whiteside is the vice president of healthcare and critical 
          infrastructure for Optiv. In his role, Whiteside focuses on helping 
          security executives in these complex and important fields develop a 
          comprehensive security program that balances risk and aligns with 
          the overall business goals.
        
      
      
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
           
        
      
      
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
          

What:

        
        
        
        
        
        
          It’s no secret that approaches to identity and access management 
          have evolved rapidly over the last several years to meet changes in 
          how we transact business. Insider threats and external breaches are 
          rising causing organizations to implement a “whack-a-mole” approach 
          to security. In this session, Whiteside, a former CISO, will share a 
          strategy that puts identity at the core of a security program by 
          bringing together existing cyber security investments.
        
      
      
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
           
        
      
      
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
          

When:

        
        
        
        
        
        
          Thursday, December 1, 2016 from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m. PST

          Caesars Palace, Las Vegas
