Krebs, a highly-respected cybersecurity authority who served as the first director of the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), will discuss the challenges of securing sensitive intellectual property while enabling collaboration and prioritizing and scoping risk during his keynote remarks. Today, Krebs serves as the founding partner of the Krebs Stamos Group.

Through the powerful networks of its hosts – Code42, Duo Security at Cisco, Exabeam, LogRhythm, Optiv, Securonix, Signpost Six and SumoLogic – this year’s Insider Risk Summit brings together a community of security leaders and practitioners to discuss problems and solutions related to the escalating risk of insiders to company data.

This summit will focus on all aspects of insider risk including IP theft, intentional data leaks and non-malicious exfiltration actions. Managing insider risk is a challenge made even more urgent in today’s highly-collaborative, cloud-enabled, borderless work environment where data is digital and on the move every day. During the event, attendees will explore new strategies for detecting and mitigating insider threats to data, holistically shifting organizational thinking about insider risk, and building a security-aware culture without standing in the way of employee productivity.

“The simple truth is that over 60% of employees admit that they took data from their last job specifically to help them in their current job. With millions of workers – equating to about 40% of employees – planning to switch jobs as we emerge from the pandemic, we expect corporate data to be acutely at risk during the coming months,” said Joe Payne, Code42 president and CEO. “The Insider Risk Summit is the best venue for the security community to hone their skills and networks to prepare for addressing the growing insider risk problem. We are thrilled that Chris Krebs will be sharing his unique insights with us during the Insider Risk Summit.”

Insider Risk Summit Featured Speakers

In addition to Krebs, the line-up of speakers for the Insider Risk Summit includes top tier cybersecurity and IRM experts from consulting and research organizations as well as leading security and technology companies. The speakers will outline key takeaways from lessons learned during the past year as well as how to establish long-term, proactive strategies for managing insider risk.
