The use of encryption to protect sensitive data has become much more pervasive, with the average enterprise now using more than 8 different products that perform encryption. Protecting and managing the secret keys used to perform encryption and decryption is the linchpin of a data protection strategy, but many organizations struggle to do it consistently and effectively.
This session and discussion will explore:
- The challenges created by digital transformation, mobility, and other initiatives that create new destinations for sensitive data
- The evolving threat landscape and the role encryption plays – both good and bad
- Best practices for managing encryption and the security of keys in complex multi-cloud and enterprise environments, particularly as new technologies are introduced.

Executive Vision Presenter: “Defying (Data) Gravity | What the future of accelerated data growth holds for enterprises“
 |
||||
| Dave McCrory VP Of Growth and Global Head of Insights and Analytics |
read more »
What do you get when you take the laws of physics and the laws of IT and intersect them with digital transformation? The answer is data gravity, the single biggest challenge facing all companies today and into the foreseeable future. Data gravity inhibits workflow performance, raises security concerns, and increases costs, all complicated by regulatory and legacy architecture constraints.
In this information-packed session – delivered by Dave McCrory, VP of Growth and Global Head of Insights and Analytics at Digital Realty – you’ll gain a deep understanding of the intensity and implications of accelerated data growth and increasing data gravity on global enterprises.
You’ll receive actionable quantitative insights and CAGR forecasts for more than 50 metros worldwide and seven industries that will help unlock the dynamics of data gravity for enterprises, as well as a blueprint for addressing infrastructure constraints. You’ll also learn our patent-pending formula for measuring data gravity, a methodology based on thousands of attributes of Global 2000 enterprises.
- Understand the data creation lifecycle, influencing factors and macro trends contributing to the explosion of data gravity.
- Dive into our patent-pending formula for measuring data gravity.
- See how fast data gravity intensity is forecasted to spike globally through 2024, comparing more than 50 metros and seven industries that include Banking and Financial Services, Insurance, Manufacturing and others.
- Learn about the implications of such accelerated data gravity growth, which now requires a connected data community approach between enterprises, connectivity, cloud and content providers integrating core, cloud and edge at centers of data exchange, implementing a secure, hybrid IT and data-centric architecture globally at points of business presence.

CXO Fireside Chat: “Cloud Computing and Security is More than Lifting and Shifting“
 |
||||
| Jonathan Nguyen-Duy Vice President, Global Field CISO Team |
read more »
Enterprise IT strategies have always been determined by the dynamics of centralized and distributed computing. Indeed, one could say that networking and security always follow the compute. Rapid adoption of multi-cloud and hybrid computing means networks are now more distributed than ever before with business value shifting to agility, innovation and software – leading to the rise of the software defined enterprise.
Multi-cloud adoption is also driving three strategic technology trends: Zero Trust, SD-WAN, and SASE. Going forward, IT teams will have to grapple with these key trends while managing a combination of in-house and service provider solutions, while balancing risk management with business objectives and customer experiences. How should we think about computing, networking, and security when enterprises own less and less infrastructure, platform and software?
In this session, we’ll review practical strategies to secure cloud computing while delivering better outcomes and experiences.

Companies are adopting SaaS faster than ever before, but investment in SaaS security hasn’t kept up. Join Brendan O’Connor, the former CSO at Salesforce and Security CTO at ServiceNow, as he discusses why enterprise SaaS is the biggest security vulnerability no one is talking about. Brendan will cover many common misconceptions about SaaS security, and the mistakes that nearly every enterprise is making. He’ll also present anonymized examples of data exposure from some of the world’s most recognized companies and explain the steps enterprises need to take now to secure your environment and prevent SaaS data breaches.
Common SaaS vulnerabilities we’ll be covering:
- Portals
- 3rd party applications
- Vendor updates and releases
- Anonymous API access

In today’s digital landscape, the role of the CIO and the CISO have 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. The CISO is at the center of the security dialogue and is ultimately responsible for the guidance and leadership of an increasingly intricate technology landscape.
Given the weight of that responsibility, the search for the most transformative solutions that enable them to prepare and protect the enterprise is constant and the need to stay ahead of the curve, a must.
Apex Assembly will unite visionary leaders and industry experts for a half day of content and discussion, where we will examine the challenges and the most pressing issues of 2021 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.
