Showstopping Stage Talks - The 10 Workday Rising Sessions you don’t want to miss
Workday Rising is the marquee event featured prominently in every Workday customer’s calendar. This year, the Workday ecosystem is getting ready to glisten in ‘The Golden City’ from September 26th-29th at the Mascone Centre in San Francisco.
Gaining new insights and learning from peers is one of the many reasons people attend. With hundreds of sessions on offer this year, we’ve poured over the catalogue and hand-picked our top ten:
1. All-hands testing to all-hands innovating: Capital One on test automation to increase Workday ROI
Coming in at number one, it’s Fortune 500 giant Capital One. In this session, Kainos and Capital One delve into the topic of Workday release testing. This session is ideal for customers preparing to go through their first update, or those already live for a number of years and want to find a new approach to tackling the 5-week preview window.
Shelly, Capital One’s Workday Product Owner, will discuss how, through its partnership with Kainos, the organisation has turned its focus to strategic improvements and is now innovating faster by unlocking added potential from its Workday investment. Sign up to this session here.
2. Workday Security Real-Time Dashboards, Auditing, and Alerting
The Workday bi-annual updates can sometimes impact the functionality of your internal controls when new features are implemented. If the integrity of your internal controls is compromised, then this presents a huge red flag for your organization’s risk management strategy.
Software development firm Red Hat built dashboards that provide real-time data and alerting of security changes taking place within its Workday tenant. In this session, James Aten, Workday Security Administrator, reviews the challenges Red Hat faced, the strategy for monitoring security, and the reports created.

3. Doing More with Less: The art and science of proactive data security, audit coverage and risk management for non-profits
Are you a Workday customer operating with a lean team or budget? Then this one is for you!

4. Strategic ethics and Workday: Elevating data privacy beyond organizational policy
All organisations have a level of regulatory compliance they must uphold. Whether you’re publicly listed and adhering to SOX or have commitments to CCPA – data privacy isn’t just a regulatory compliance pursuit. It can be an ethical driver to overlay the technology used to support and protect employee data while driving business value. Learn how Sunbelt is putting this ethical approach into practice with Workday in this session. Don’t miss out, sign up here.
5. Assemble data privacy defenders: How intelligent data-masking can save the day
We know that sensitive data is safely protected within Workday’s privacy and security framework, however it is up to individual businesses to decide on the governance framework to control access to it. Risks can also be heightened in non-production tenants when users are granted elevated access using proxy for business process approvals.
In this session, Kainos addresses how you can safely grant access for streamlined testing, training, and compliance, all while defending sensitive data with Kainos Smart Shield, an intelligent data-masking tool built exclusively for Workday. This is your opportunity to learn about Workday data masking best practices. See the session here.
6. Proactive privacy: How to put Workday at the center of compliance efforts
Whether your organization is in deployment or currently live with Workday, risk management teams must always have a clear picture of their risk framework. However, in the face of data privacy and financial regulations, how can a lean Workday team remain audit-ready, compliant and risk-aware while balancing strategic system enhancements?
In this session, non-profit organisation GEHA reveals how a proactive approach using Kainos' Smart Products and Workday security is key. If data compliance is a top priority for you and your Workday teams, then this session is for you. Sign up here today.
