Phoenix CIO Executive Summit

Enjoy a networking dinner with the Phoenix Governing Body, facilitated by the CISO for Arizona, Tim Roemer. Unpack how collaboration and teamwork are moving us forward in 2020.

The new way of work is remote, mobile-first, and cloud-based. Employees expect instant, secure access to applications, information, and resources. Meanwhile, threats proliferate, VPNs lag, hardware costs rise, and little is truly secure. Hub-and-spoke networks employing castle-and-moat security are no longer tenable, and leaders that cling to legacy architectures put enterprises at risk. Daniel Shuler joins Manoj Apte on stage to present Secure Cloud Transformation, a practical cyber security approach that prioritizes security and user performance to align with today’s way of working.

In this session, we'll discuss how enterprise IT leaders can:

• Improve customer digital experience while safeguarding sensitive information

• Drive revenue and scalability while controlling costs
