Last month the Insider Risk Summit™ team announced the return of the Insider Risk Summit on Sept. 14-15. Today, the hosts of the summit – Code42, Exabeam, LogRhythm, Optiv, Securonix, Signpost Six and SumoLogic – are announcing the event’s headlining keynote speaker, Chris Krebs.
Krebs is a luminary in the infosec community who most recently served as the first director of the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), where he was famously fired via tweet for being too good at his job. Today, Krebs serves as a founding partner of the Krebs Stamos Group. In his keynote, he will discuss the challenges of securing sensitive intellectual property while enabling collaboration and prioritizing and scoping risk.
The Insider Risk Summit will bring together a community of security leaders and practitioners to address the escalating severity and impact of IP theft and data leaks at the hands of malicious, negligent and careless employees and users. 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 two-day virtual 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.”

In addition to Krebs, the line-up of speakers for the Insider Risk Summit includes top tier cybersecurity and Insider Risk Management experts from consulting and research organizations as well as leading security and technology companies.
