VP, CSO Cloud Security Transformation
Netskope
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. This evolved concept of cloud security architecture outlines a convergence of multiple security functions to offer identity-based secure access. How can your organization best position itself for the transition?
Join this session to hear about:
• Problems SASE can address in the modern enterprise
• Benefits of moving to a SASE architecture
• Insights from organizations adopting SASE today

We all remember the time when IT matters stayed within IT. But with cloud, mobility, AI/machine learning, IoT/OT—all converging to make your organisation smarter, more efficient, and more competitive—IT has become a boardroom issue. Today, IT innovators have the opportunity to take their place at the epicenter of the modern enterprise, delivering the agility, security, and user experience needed for digital transformation, thereby reducing business risk, increasing productivity, and cutting costs.
In this session Bill Lapp, Global Leader at Zscaler will discuss:
- “Owning the moment”: IT’s opportunity to accelerate secure digital transformation
- Best practices for securing work-from-anywhere using Gartner’s secure access service edge (SASE) and zero trust network access (ZTNA) frameworks
- What comes next: IT’s new role as strategic business enabler

With the security and success of the organisation at stake, CISOs must know how to ask the right questions and “talk cloud” with the rest of the organisation all while avoiding being seen as “the office of ‘no.’”
Join this session to learn:
- The latest solutions for effective security in the cloud
- Strategies to transfer legacy information security governance to a cloud paradigm
- Frameworks to evaluate hybrid on prem and cloud approaches where appropriate
