Surviving the Zero-Day Apocalypse

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 | 1:30PM–2:15PM PT | California Ballroom B, Second Floor
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: Presentation/Panel
There is a tsunami of zero-day vulnerability exploits coming, and known vulnerabilities are increasingly essentially zero-days. Why is this? And what changes do we need to make in our privacy and security programs to protect our institutions against this rapidly growing threat? Harvard got hit hard by the Oracle EBS zero-day vulnerability. Our CISDPO and Deputy CISDPO will share what happened, how we responded, and our strategy for preventing similar incidents.
