In our current era, more than ever, we know that when dealing with new working environments, vulnerability risks and other issues, data protection is essential. Poor or inadequate key management can lead to a data breach more than a weak algorithm, and with the amount of data most businesses need to encrypt today, many keys and many encryption tools may be used.

If your organization deals with confidential data – and most industries do – encryption is vital to security but key protection is even more important. Data encryption, Digital Signatures/certificates, Application Encryption and PKI are all technologies that use CRYPTOGRAPHIC functions, yet most of the companies that implement these technologies trust their vendors that their solutions provide the appropriate amount of security without questioning the specifics of their implementation. Why? It’s simple: Crypto is hard to understand. Vendors do their best to provide adequate security, but companies need to work with crypto vendors to understand how crypto is being implemented.

Entrust keeps the world moving safely by enabling trusted identities, payments and data protection around the globe. Today more than ever, people demand seamless, secure experiences, whether they’re crossing borders, making a purchase, or accessing corporate networks. With our unmatched breadth of digital security and credential issuance solutions, it’s no wonder the world’s most entrusted organizations trust us.

Disrupter Presenter:  “Smart Apps Win Markets: Why “Fast Data” is the New Gold

Bryan Kirschner
Vice President, Strategy



read more »

Technology is not a strategy, but some strategies are only possible with the right technology in place, backed by an operating model tuned to make the most of its capabilities. More data than ever is available to CIOs and CDOs–but architecture and practices fit for handling “less data, more slowly” aren’t enough to use it compete and win. We will dive into how today’s leaders have shown the path toward starting, scaling, and sustaining shared mastery of the new “fast data” powering winning apps to drive growth:

  • Why you want the modern open source data stack
  • How to break the organizational barriers to data velocity
  • Why “fast, smart, and big” are the future of data for the apps that matter most

CXO Fireside: “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.
