Virtual CIO/ CISO West Summit
In today’s digital landscape, the role of the CIO has become the most dynamic amongst their peers. CIOs are focused on finding the most transformative technologies that enable them to bring value to their enterprise and customers.
Adopting an enterprise wide transformation strategy is driven by fundamental shifts in internal and external forces that impact the business and how it operates. Disruptive technologies are being introduced to the market faster than ever and executives must have the ability to align and address the enterprise-wide transformation challenges. These changes will ultimately influence strategic planning, business operations and the overall trajectory of the operating model moving forward. With unceasing demands, technology has become more complex and solution providers more difficult to decipher.
In September , Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges of 2019 and concentrate on the most pressing issues of 2020 in the information technology sector.
Through collaboration with our executive community, we have discovered key industry challenges and trends. These topics form the foundation of the Summit and will be addressed through Panels, Disrupter sessions, and Fireside chats.
Hosted using video conferencing technology, our Virtual Summit gives executives and service providers the opportunity to engage with like-minded executives and industry leaders without having to leave their office or home.
Anyone can log in from anywhere. All you need is WiFi.
The Assembly will feature members from...

Keynote Presenter: “Working Securely or Working Remotely? Optimizing WFH for Security“
 |

| Kurt Roemer Chief Security Strategist |

Many longstanding organizational policies were significantly relaxed to in the first few months of 2020 to enable a global workforce to work from home. Security policies that forbid activities including taking corporate systems out of the protections of the corporate office, working with highly-sensitive information at home, extending the enterprise network to personal devices and using unapproved software have all been stretched. Even more unfortunate, the scourge of cyber attacks, phishing and ransomware have taken advantage of the situation and epically increased in intensity. It’s time to restore balance – and to begin both working remotely and working securely.
In this session, we’ll explore:
· Balancing employee experience and agility with appropriate WFH usage of highly-regulated data and sensitive intellectual property.
· Options for enhancing confidentiality, integrity, availability and safety across situations, endpoints, networks, apps – and browsers.
· Designing for compliance, resiliency, assurance and visibility – while being continuously audit-ready.
· Incorporating workspace policies to enable the workforce to be continuously situationally aware and contextually risk-appropriate.

Disrupter Presenter: “The Importance of DDI for Enabling Strategic Initiatives“
 |

| Kirk Appelman VP & GM, North America |

DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) is a cornerstone networking technology and plays a mission-critical role in accessing applications and services. It is more prominent today than ever thanks to multi-cloud and multi-device proliferation, as well as the ever-evolving security threats that conventional network security offerings find hard to combat. However, many organizations may not be utilizing DDI as efficiently as they could. Initiatives like hybrid cloud, SDN, NFV, IPv6, mobility, and IoT can be greatly enhanced by the visibility, automation and “single source of IP truth” that integrated DDI solutions bring.
In this session, we’ll cover:
– DDI as the key for scalable and stable network infrastructure
– The traits of cost effective DDI, how it supports business continuity, and how it can better secure your network
– Use cases- IoT initiatives, consolidated network architecture, homegrown solutions.
