Maintaining a competitive edge in manufacturing demands protecting R&D, product designs, specifications and other sensitive intellectual property (IP). Security is crucial to stop the leaking of critical information as people share CAD files and other documents throughout the supply chain and to employees or contractors who may not be with your company forever. Sharing this data through email, collaboration platforms, and mobile devices requires new file-centric security to ensure business continuity and profitability. Encrypting and controlling sensitive data at the point of creation will reduce insider threats and improve your overall intellectual property protection position.
Join this Fireside Chat and learn:
- How to protect intellectual property in manufacturing and supply chain environments
from insider threats - Why using solutions focused on Microsoft Office do not meet protection needs for the
breadth and depth of IP - How centralized policies and control ensure you never have orphaned IP

The stakes have never been higher for organizations to get cybersecurity right. There are many forces driving this sense of urgency: companies adding new cloud platforms, products, geographic regions, apps and web capabilities, not to mention securing the increasing number of remote workers because of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the increase in sophisticated cyber-attacks, security teams are under pressure to protect organizations while under-staffed, under-equipped and under budget.
In this session, we will discuss how businesses of all sizes can adopt a modern approach to cybersecurity with a consolidated architecture that fully automates preventing attacks before enterprise systems can be breached.

With an alarming number of breaches, it is clear that the attack surface has greatly expanded. As enterprises work to develop a progressive strategy, there is an increasing need to deploy and manage a variety of advanced internal and external security services. This leaves the Chief Information Security Officer faced with a multitude of challenges to maintain and run a secure enterprise.
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 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.
