Mitigating risk and keeping an organization secure continues to be a challenge. CSO’s annual State of the CSO survey is conducted to provide a complete overview of the evolving role of CSOs in today’s business climate, from security strategy, to metrics, budget and function ownership.
Leaders everywhere face increasing risks for their organizations. But not all risks are created equal. And not all organizations have the same ability to measure, manage or mitigate these risks.
Companies with big data experience
are overwhelmingly satisfied with
business outcomes. But organizations
need to address several challenges
related to visualization and big data.
Summary based on IDG's 2021 Security Priorities study which provides insight into the security projects organizations are prioritizing in the coming year.
Ensure your risk and compliance systems and processes can be easily adapted over time. You’ll need that flexibility to future-proof your organization against regulatory demands and changes yet to come.
We explore a science-based approach to measuring, monitoring, and understanding trust to facilitate meaningful stakeholder engagement and drive sustainable business. This approach, called The Trust Index, is a key component of the altumINSIGHT platform developed by Attego ESG Impact Solutions, a division of RTI International. This presentation is an annotated version of the original, which was delivered at the 2017 Sustainable Brands New Metrics Conference.

Boutique Asset Managers: Protect Your Business and Reputation Against RisksFIS
How can boutique asset managers defend themselves against the current, dominant risks to their business? How can boutiques asset managers overcome compliance and operational hurdles?
Boutiques must demonstrate operational excellence and compliance to encourage investors, without incurring excessive cost or complexity. They need mastery over data and automation of the front office. Early adopters who develop a strategic approach to handling change, reduce the pressure associated with regulation.
In a recent survey by TABB Group, half of all participants indicated they are looking to technology providers to assist more with compliance obligations. A recent survey by Chartis found data management gaining in importance with 91 percent of respondents rated data quality as crucial.
How can you streamline operations to reduce costs, ensure good data management for greater insight, and enhance risk management to meet investor expectations?
Increased regulatory pressure and operational complexity have created a need for a new approach to compliance.

Information Security assessment of companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, February 2015.
Every day critical security incidents show the drastic extent of "successful" cyber attacks for organizations in terms of monetary and material loss. With increasing use of digital technologies and the growing spread of mobile and IoT cyber security is becoming a key factor for companies’ successful digital transformation. To analyze current challenges, trends and maturity of companies state of information security, Capgemini Consulting DACH conducted a survey in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The 2014 Information Security Benchmarking Study shows that information security is insufficiently embedded in most companies‘ business strategy and operations to effectively safeguard organizations against current cyber threats.

It’s been three years since the General Data Protection Regulation shook up how organizations manage data security and privacy, ushering in a new focus on Data Governance. But what is the state of Data Governance today?
How has it evolved? What’s its role now? Building on prior research, erwin by Quest and ESG have partnered on a new study about what’s driving the practice of Data Governance, program maturity and current challenges. It also examines the connections to data operations and data protection, which is interesting given the fact that improving data security is now the No. 1 driver of Data Governance, according to this year’s survey respondents.
So please join us for this webinar to learn about the:

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
