He has more than 35 years of experience in senior IT leadership roles\, including Regional CIO for Deloitte\, Director of Applications for Deloitte\, CIO for Simpson Thacher & Bartlett\, Vice-President of Corporate Finance at Goldman Sachs\, and Group Vice-President for Funds Transfer and Foreign Exchange at Bankers Trust Company. In these roles\, Allan had a broad range of IT responsibilities\, including Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning\, and the implementation and operation of many high-performance mission-critical 24/7/365 system. \nAllan began working in AI in the early 1970s\, where he developed the first suite of AI systems to support computer assisted design in architecture and planning. This suite of systems reduced the time for facilities planning of large offices from 2-4 weeks to under 5 minutes\, while providing a more consistent and higher quality design solution. He subsequently licensed these products to Computervision. Following that\, he developed several AI systems that were deployed successfully in the financial services industry. At Goldman Sachs\, he led the development of an AI-based multi-currency global equity valuation system that supported the Corporate Finance Department. The system reduced the time to develop equity valuation models from 6 weeks to 5 minutes. Also at Goldman\, he developed the first system to use AI to identify “trades of interest” for screening for insider trading. At the law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett\, he developed an interactive research system that identified in seconds contextually relevant documents in a repository of more than 2\,000\,000 documents. \nMore recently\, Allan has been involved in AI policy. In his work with the Boston Global Forum where he is on the Executive Board\, he has co-authored with Governor Michael Dukakis and faculty from Harvard\, MIT and Brown several papers on AI Ethics. In November\, 2019\, he presented at the BCI International conference in London on the subject of When your Artificial Intelligence Becomes Adversarial Intelligence: Risk and Control Considerations. \nAdditionally\, Allan also has significant global IT experience. He was responsible for building the first global networks at Bankers Trust Company\, Simpson Thacher and Bartlett\, and Goldman Sachs Corporate Finance. At Deloitte\, he established the application development offshoring operation in Hyderabad\, India\, and subsequently supported the growth of the offshored Audit practice from its initiation to more than 5\,000 employees. \nWhile at Deloitte\, Allan led the IT recovery after the 9/11 Attack. At Simpson Thacher and Bartlett\, Allan led the recovery after the 1993 NatWest Tower bombing in London. \nOver the past five years\, Allan has published and spoken on Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Planning\, Management of High-Risk Mission Critical Projects\, Global Cyber Security Policy\, and as previously mentioned\, AI Risk and Control. More recently\, as a member of the Executive Board of the Boston Global Forum (www.bostonglobalforum.org)\, he has advised the governments of Japan and Vietnam on national cyber-security strategy and has co-authored the cyber-security recommendations presented by the Government of Japan to the G7 Leaders at their May\, 2016 G7 Summit in IseShima\, Japan. \nAllan is a graduate of Columbia University\, where he received a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science\, a Master of Architecture\, and an MS in Operations Research. He is an active alumnus\, where his roles have included Chair of the Alumni Board of Visitors of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Treasurer of the Society of Columbia Graduates. \n \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \nQuestions about this Event \n\n\nIf you have any registration questions about this event\, please contact us by completing the Registration Contact Form linked below. \nRegistration Questions \n  \n\n\n\n\nIf you have CPE questions after the event has concluded\, please contact us by completing the CPE contact form linked below. \nCPE Questions \n  \n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCPE Information \nEarn up to 7 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit in the area of Information Technology.

If a previously published agenda has changed\, the changes will be noted. \nThe conference agenda is being developed and updates will be posted when available. \n  \n \n\n08:30 AM – 09:30 AM \n\n\nOverexposed and Underdeveloped: Why Visibility Alone Has Not Fixed Vulnerability Management \nPresenter: Jonathon Risto (ZenzizenSec Inc. and SANS) \nOrganizations have more vulnerability data than ever before: scanners\, dashboards\, threat intelligence\, asset inventories\, cloud findings\, and exposure signals. Yet many programs still struggle to consistently reduce risk. This talk explores the gap between what security teams can see and what organizations can actually act on. It examines how visibility can outpace maturity\, creating overloaded teams\, unclear priorities\, weak governance\, and growing exposure debt. The session will show why effective vulnerability management is not just about finding more issues\, but about building the decision-making\, prioritization\, mobilization\, and communication capabilities needed to turn visibility into meaningful risk reduction. \n\n \n\n09:30 AM – 10:30 AM \n\n\n90 Days to AI Governance \nPresenter: John Rood (Proceptual) \nGRC and data professionals are increasingly being asked to lead AI governance efforts in 2026 — frequently without additional training or incremental staff. \nThis webinar explores the path to “minimum viable governance” — an effective starting point for a compliant\, long-term AI governance program.\n \n\n \n\n10:30 AM – 11:30 AM \n\n\nIntegrating Risk Management into CMMC Compliance: From Gap Analysis to Continuous Monitoring \nPresenter: Dr. Constance Blanson (Walden University) \nAs organizations across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) prepare for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2\, risk management is no longer a theoretical exercise—it is a core operational requirement. This session explores how organizations can systematically integrate risk management practices into their CMMC compliance strategy\, aligning with NIST SP 800-171 requirements while building a sustainable\, audit-ready security posture. \nParticipants will gain practical insight into identifying\, assessing\, and prioritizing cybersecurity risks within scoped CUI environments and translating those risks into actionable remediation plans. The session will also examine common pitfalls in gap assessments\, the role of continuous monitoring\, and how leveraging Managed Service Providers (MSPs) or Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) can accelerate compliance maturity. Real-world examples and assessor-informed perspectives will be shared to help organizations move from reactive compliance to proactive risk governance. \n\n \n\n11:30 AM – 12:30 PM \n\n\nThe AI Risks You’re Not Ready to Admit You Have \nPresenter: Dr. Keith Morneau (ECPI University) \nMost security teams didn’t see AI coming. Not like this. The tools arrived quickly\, adoption followed\, and somewhere in the middle\, a new attack surface quietly opened.\nPrompt injection\, data poisoning\, model theft\, jailbreaking\, AI-generated phishing\, and deepfakes are just some of the AI risks your organization faces. These risks are emerging across enterprises\, and most organizations are underprepared. Not because you aren’t trying\, but because the frameworks you trust weren’t built for this. \nThis session is about where AI risk actually hides in your organization. Not in your policy documents\, but in your workflows\, vendor relationships\, and data pipelines. We’ll get into threat assessments\, which controls to consider\, and how to build a response posture that protects you. \nNo hype. No doom. Just a clearer picture of what you’re dealing with\, and a practical path forward.\n \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \nShare this Event \nIf you are interested\, planning to attend\, or attending this event\, please share with your colleagues across your social media networks. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on X\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on Linkedin\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on Facebook\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on Print\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Share on Email\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\nPresenters \nAt times presenters for a session may change due to schedule conflicts and other unexpected situations.

Business Impact Analyses\, as they have been performed for decades\, are inadequate. The determination of RTO and RPO may be meaningless in the face of stolen information and ransomware attacks that reflect what business leaders would like to be done rather than what IT can do. Moreover\, new government rules require analysis and disclosure that necessitate an understanding by executive management of what the impact of a cyberattack would be if an attack were to occur. This one-day seminar/workshop\, combining instruction with a hands-on case study\, presents practical methods for understanding the potential impact of cyberattacks\, as the basis for remediation\, reporting and recovery. \nIntended audience: Management and staff in Information Security\, Business Continuity Management\, IT Auditing\, Risk Management\, Finance\, Office of General Counsel. \nRegistration closes on Oct 1 @ 5pm.

The workshop is designed to help participants understand how FedRAMP is evolving from a predominantly document- and control-centric authorization model toward an approach that emphasizes measurable security outcomes\, reusable security evidence\, automation\, continuous assurance\, and machine-readable certification information. \nParticipants will examine the policy and operational foundations of FedRAMP 20x\, including OMB Memorandum M-24-15\, the FedRAMP Consolidated Rules for 2026\, FedRAMP certification types\, certification classes\, authorization boundaries\, certification packages\, Key Security Indicators (KSIs)\, Security Decision Records (SDRs)\, independent verification and validation\, vulnerability management\, and ongoing certification requirements. The workshop also explains the continuing relationship between FedRAMP 20x\, FedRAMP Rev5\, Federal agency authorization responsibilities\, and the NIST Risk Management Framework. \nThe workshop emphasizes the practical differences between traditional FedRAMP practices and the emerging FedRAMP 20x model. Participants will explore how security assertions are increasingly supported by measurable evidence\, how certification information can be maintained and shared continuously\, how automation can strengthen verification and validation\, and how Federal agencies can reuse FedRAMP certification evidence while remaining responsible for their own authorization and risk-acceptance decisions. \nThe workshop combines instructor-led presentations\, case studies\, guided discussions\, and applied exercises that bridge policy\, security engineering\, assessment\, and authorization practice. Participants will analyze realistic cloud-service scenarios\, evaluate certification scope and evidence\, examine Key Security Indicators\, assess vulnerabilities using risk-based information\, and consider how cloud service providers\, independent assessors\, and Federal agencies interact throughout the certification and authorization lifecycle. \nBy the conclusion of the workshop\, participants will possess the knowledge and practical skills needed to understand the FedRAMP 20x model\, interpret current FedRAMP requirements\, distinguish certification from agency authorization\, evaluate security evidence and assurance information\, and support the implementation\, assessment\, use\, and ongoing oversight of FedRAMP-certified cloud services. \nThis event takes place on December 7 and December 9 from 6:00PM – 9:30PM ET. \nRegistration closes on December 6 @ 5pm.
