From AI to quantum computing – innovative technologies can open the door to new solutions that can transform your business. However, they can also create clouds of confusion. How do you wade through the noise to discover what really works? How do you determine what is practical, scalable and secure?

In this session discover how:

  • You can introduce security earlier in the development process
  • To identify potential areas of risk regarding emerging technologies
  • You can effectively communicate with all areas of the business before, during and after the adoption process

A strong IAM is one key to preventing data breaches and limiting the blast radius, should a security incident occur. But cloud IAM presents a new set of constructs for organizations to build and manage. Is this the most comprehensive identity and access control out there, or yet another layer of complexity added to your program?

In this session, you will discuss:

  • Why managing cloud IAM is so complex
  • The challenges cloud IAM creates for IT and cybersecurity professionals
  • How leading organizations are governing cloud IAM to reduce risk and the chance of a data breach

There is no shortage of data available to the security function, but insights – the signals of a real threat that demands action — are a different story. CISOs who can derive meaningful findings from their environments can better detect threats with fewer resources — a difficult, ongoing challenge as organizations become increasingly digital and complex.

Join your peers to discuss:

  • How emerging technologies and evolving digital businesses are challenging security analytics
  • Best practices for monitoring user behavior and other dynamic risks
  • How to reduce the noise created by the growing number of threat detection technologies and data volume

Organizations are feeling a shift in the world of networking and security as they rapidly adopt and embrace the cloud. On-premises private data centers are no longer the place for data and workloads to exist. With this shift, security and networking are brought closer than ever. Enterprises need speed, visibility, security and reliability without compromise. Enter, the secure access service edge, better known as SASE. It’s inevitable that SASE implementations and zero trust implementations need to collide to provide a more comprehensive security capability to truly support digital transformation. How can your organization best position itself for the transition?

In this session, you will discuss:

  • Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise
  • Benefits of planning both SASE and zero trust implementations
  • Insights from organizations adopting SASE and zero trust today

12:45pm - 1:15pm  EST Networking
