"Security and privacy are two sides of the same coin." This dynamic session featured a dynamic duo. Two leaders from Mastercard. One the head of security. The other, the global lead for privacy. As Ron noted, it is bigger than cybersecurity. It's about security across all dimensions. The session featuring he and Erika covered the following:

• Ron and Erika's backgrounds and current roles

• The changing nature of payments and connecting to commerce

• How do you manage the avalanche of data and information while simultaneously ensuring its privacy/security? Has innovation changed the dynamic between security and accessibility?

• How do the CSO and General Counsel roles interact with the executive leadership? How is cybersecurity seen from the organizational perspective?

• What are big issues you need to raise with your board as they consider the right policies and appropriate governance?

• What would be the single most important implementation you’ve made in the past year or two that is having the largest impact on the enterprise (both externally and internally). And a discussion of Mastercard's “carrot and stick” approach to educating employees about social engineering

• What technology trends either accelerated in their deployment or were delayed as a result of COVID-19's impact on the financial industry?  How did Mastercard address the impact of COVID on the work environment for employees?

• What do you see as the biggest opportunities for the CSO/CISO role now and beyond? Any big changes this past year?

• What technology and policy impacts do they see on the horizon in the year ahead?

• How has the threat landscape changed in the last year, in light of SolarWinds?

• What role does information sharing between the private sector and with government agencies play in addressing cybersecurity threats?

• How do you support transformational innovation within your institution and simultaneously remain responsive to security needs? Are they in tension? Integrated?
