The security winds are rapidly shifting from ‘trust but verify’ models to ones that assume that every activity is insecure until proven otherwise. In an age of high-profile security attacks, increasingly sophisticated phishing schemes, and ransomware threats run amok, organizations of all shapes and sizes are urgently seeking new ways to protect their finances, their reputations, and their business operations. As organizations strive to embrace Zero Trust methodologies as a baseline state for their security lines of defense, many continue to struggle with the best ways to achieve their goals. It can also be difficult to fully grasp the breadth and depth to which Zero Trust permeates existing processes and requires change. The potential operational impact that can result from the methodology is also intimidating.

IT pros and decision makers must prioritize continuous improvement, well, continuously. The job requires constant vigilance for new opportunities to make IT environments more efficient, more secure, and better at serving the needs of the business.And it requires constant effort because the pace of innovation is furious. On-premises hardware, from blade servers to storage arrays to various appliances, is being iterated constantly. And the pace is even faster for cloud infrastructure platforms to SaaS applications, where the release cycle is measured in days, if not hours. The relative strength of one product or product category can change in weeks, as upstarts absorb functionality and upend classifications.

Due to the growth of “Cloud” over the past ten years, organizations have moved from the data center to “centers of data”. As applications are now distributed, the networks and security solutions have become more complex and brittle. Adding fuel to this fire of complexity, network and security solutions must now address the demands of the hybrid workforce. In this talk, learn how you can use Security Service Edge in a simple way to solve some of the complex network security problems no matter how large your organization.

The modern retailer is under pressure. Over the last two years, we’ve seen the rise of the seamless shopper, retailers must meet the customer in their terms and consumers are hungry for personalized experiences. Meanwhile companies, according to the Verizon’s latest data breach report, are struggling to protect not only card holder data but now personal information.

In this panel session learn from industry pioneers about what’s needed to harmonize secure access for the workplace. Hear about Security Service Edge (SSE) platforms which combine ZTNA, SWG, CASB, and Digital Experience into one service, key characteristics, and use cases. There are a number of paths to choose from. There’s also a lot of hype making it difficult to figure out which approach to take.

In IT, you’re thinking about continuous improvement every day. Making your IT environment more efficient and more secure, while serving the current and anticipated needs of the organization, are constant concerns. On this event, you’ll discover innovative solutions from every corner of the IT landscape. From on-premises hardware to cloud infrastructure to software services to technologies that secure it all, everything is on the agenda for this special event.

The modern workplace is an orchestra composed of users, devices, applications, and clouds – each playing their own tune, and constantly syncing, and changing. This orchestra is difficult to secure, challenging to see, complex, and extends far beyond the confines of the corporate network. It requires a solution designed to harmonize workplace connectivity. In this session join a former Head of Architecture at TT Electronics, and learn how a security service edge (SSE) platform can empower IT to securely, and cost effectively, connect a modern workplace. IT can secure access to SaaS and hybrid-cloud environments, reduce their appliance footprint, adopt an “internet-connected” branch strategy, and utilize digital experience monitoring to maximize user productivity – all with a cloud-delivered service!

IT infrastructure leaders must find effective ways to enable future work environments for their business. This requires embracing internet-based technologies that remove friction, foster collaboration, align with the company vision, and help anticipate future needs. Solutions like M365, Zoom, AWS, Azure and Jira – which offer consistent reliability, availability across hybrid work environments, and scale – are key to productivity. They’ve been widely adopted because of this. Now, the Internet is becoming the new corporate network and “network security” has become less relevant. Continuing to invest in legacy connectivity solutions like network switches, firewalls, and VPN gateways is mismatch for a modern workplace.

Your business is made up of much more than just employees. There could be thousands of third-parties that interact with the business each day. These suppliers, auditors, OT vendors, and even B2B customers play a vital role in your business ecosystem. So, making it safe for partners to access your data is critical. What many IT leaders don’t know, is that with the right mindset, and secure access platform, they can make it easy to securely connect this ecosystem. They don’t have to deploy an agent on the partner’s device, nor do they need to place them on the corporate network. Instead, IT can minimize over-privileged access, and even gain valuable insights into what partners are interacting with. At Axis, they believe in a world in which workplace connectivity is always secure and seamless. Through their security services edge platform we make securing access to business resources impossibly simple. By doing so, their customers are able to make hybrid work simple, turn digital experience into a competitive advantage, and can better protect their data from cyber threats – even as it moves to cloud.

80% of companies will allow employees to work from home or the office. We call this “hybrid work.” This has created a need for secure access services that work consistently across locations so users can work from anywhere, can scale easily without complexity, and can minimize risk of cyber threats like ransomware – by keeping users off the network.

80% of companies plan to allow employees to work from home or the office. We call this “hybrid work.” This requires a solution that works consistently across any location so that users have a seamless experience, and minimizes the risk of cyber threats like ransomware – by keeping users off the network. This is why organizations like Kayak, Copart, and Hooters are replacing remote access VPNs with zero trust network access (ZTNA). The right ZTNA service provides IT with a solution for ensuring zero trust access to business apps through identity and logical policies. With ZTNA IT can safely enable hybrid work, and integrate with other technology ecosystem investments like Okta, Azure AD and CrowdStrike that may already be in place. Join this session to learn why ZTNA may be the first stop in your journey to zero trust.
