10:00 In Conversation: How Can You Exploit IT Procurement’s Role in Ensuring Data Security And Reducing Cyber Risk?
- How can you be sure your data on external and internal servers is secure? What about your suppliers’ data? As one of the fastest growing areas of IT spend, security needs special attention to make sure it’s done right, not just at the cheapest cost, so where do you start?
- Understanding the roles of procurement, legal, compliance and IT to make sure the contracts and level of service fit the needs of the company to keep costs in check and data secure
- Addressing upcoming data security regulations including the impact of the end of the Safe Harbour agreement between the US and Europe and the need to comply with European privacy laws, and the effect of the General Data Protection Legislation (GPDR) regulation coming into force in 2018 – how is this impacting your business and IT investment? How does Brexit impact the regulation between the UK and Europe?
- Will the growth of enterprise IoT initiatives increase the demand for cyber insurance policies in 2016? With an added threat layer in which physical devices can now be hacked, have their information stolen, and even be remotely controlled, how can you protect your company’s data?
- Limiting indemnification in the event of a breach – the key ways you can protect your company
16:10 Panel Discussion: Sharpening the Effectiveness of Your IT Spend Analytics Tools To Truly Capture Your Spend
- Do you really know how much IT spend you have under management, and how much spend is left to capture? As companies amass large amounts of data, do your tools have the capability to truly integrate, analyze and manage that data to produce usable reports?
- How can you justify an ROI for IT Procurement tools? How are you showcasing and demonstrating the savings?
- Creating a framework for overcoming your data problem, and project tracking data to ensure your spend goals are being reached
- Is the problem really with your tool, or just how it’s set up? How do you determine if the tools you have are being used properly?
