Cloud transformation is yesterday’s news, it’s now about acceleration, utilization, and optimization. In fact, it’s impacting not only the transition from data center to Public Cloud, but the way branch offices and home offices connect, the way applications interact, and the way they are developed and deployed.
In this panel discussion learn about how companies are:
- Automating their cloud application deployment
- Reducing cost by operationalizing their business in the cloud
- Leveraging intelligence to securely connect users and applications

CIO/CISO 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.

As organizations are digitally transforming at a rapid pace, one aspect of IT has yet to evolve. Framework for data protection strategies has largely remained the same over the years. Developers who once initiated data protection processes are now wondering what happened. In this session Insight Cloud + Data Center Transformation Chief Architect, Juan Orlandini, and Senior Architect, Clay Heuckendorf, will dive deep into modern strategies for data protection, backup, and recovery. They’ll discuss how developers have taken center stage in the data journey, and how data protection should be a part of that.

Ransomware is on the rise – there’s no doubt about that, but who is behind the attacks? And what is their motivation? Join Jared Phipps, SVP Sales Engineering at SentinelOne to find out as he takes us on a tour of the major nation-state players in cybercrime and unpicks their motivations and methods. Revealing why 70% of detections over the last year were unknown to reputation services and, crucially, what this can tell us about how criminal groups are operating. We will get his predictions on how ransomware will continue to grow and develop, and how to defend against it, because – spoiler alert – it isn’t going away.

Closing Fireside Chat: “Get Beyond Compliance and Achieve Real Data Security“

To keep pace with the database activity explosion that has accompanied recent rapid technology innovations, organizations must rethink their strategy for securing their data assets. A strategy designed to meet compliance requirements is not enough. Organizations need to develop new approaches that augment traditional agent-based monitoring to achieve real data security today and in the future.
We’ll provide insight into how you can automate data collection and monitoring so you may apply more resources to identifying non-compliant behavior and orchestrating rapid responses, regardless of where your data is or the size of your data estate.

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.
