As technology continues to evolve and impact the way companies do business, one division that is feeling these changes is the tax function. Tax leaders now need a sophisticated understanding of how technology impacts tax transactions, and executive management is demanding this level of understanding from their tax professionals. This has given rise to two new kind of professional titles knowns as taxologists and tax technologists. But there is a distinct difference between the two roles. In this podcast, we will be joined by Jen Kurtz, chief technology officer, resident tax technologist, with Vertex for a discussion about how roles in the tax office are poised to change, and what companies need to know to bring their tax staff up to date.

A new global survey by Ponemon and ServiceNow of nearly 3,000 cybersecurity professionals reveals that more than half the companies have experienced a breach in the past year. In this session Bob Bragdon, Senior Vice President and Publisher of CSO, and Piero DePaoli, Sr. Director for Security and Risk, ServiceNow, explore how respondents in 2 specific industries – financial services and healthcare – are handling threats. The survey found that both sectors had similar responses regarding breaches: 45% of financial services companies have had one or more breach in the last 2 years, and 50% of healthcare organizations. But the survey also revealed that financial services organizations appear better at handling those breaches. Why is this the case? “First, [financial services organizations] are less dependent on the manual processes,” says Bragdon. “Only 55% of financial service firms use email and spreadsheets to manage their patch process versus 63% of healthcare organizations. Secondly, financial services firm

Work is no longer a place you go. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says, “Work is about making things happen where you are.” The dominant generations in the workforce — Millennials — know this — they live it. They’ll work in an environment that’s been shaped by the forces of mobility, BYOD, connectivity, virtualization and cloud computing. The next wave is already here: Virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, block chain. These and other trends we can’t imagine will comprise the reality of these workers of the future. And guess who has to make it happen? IT. Sponsored by Citrix

A new global survey by Ponemon and ServiceNow of nearly 3,000 cybersecurity professionals reveals that more than half the companies have experienced a breach in the past year. In this session Bob Bragdon, Senior Vice President and Publisher of CSO, and Cliff Huntington, head of global sales for governance, risk, and compliance at ServiceNow, explore how high-performing security teams prevent breaches and what other teams can do to emulate their success. One particular area deserves a close look: unpatched enterprise software. The survey revealed that a majority of cyber-attack victims say their breaches could have been prevented by installing patches – and the survey also found that organizations can reduce their breach risk by 20% by scanning. “I think the survey absolutely exposed that there’s a lot of low hanging fruit for adversaries,” says Huntington. “That’s said, the same low hanging fruit for those adversaries could be an opportunity for these organizations to make themselves more secure.” “The patchi
