Unlocking Full Potential – IT Enhancements for The Global Enterprise

While the vast majority of infrastructure has been upgraded and modernized to support the shift to the cloud, global IT teams are still missing an equally seamless access method to deliver cloud-native apps and data to their end users. While traditional browsers have become the de-facto access point for the majority of business critical applications, they lack the deep visibility and hyper-granular policy controls enterprises need. This results in IT leaders surrounding their browsers with layers of tech to meet those needs.

Join this keynote session to discover:

  • Why traditional cloud security methods undermine your global modernization efforts and end-user experience
  • Embracing technological momentum to adapt to a "more-with-less" IT landscape
  • How global enterprise CIOs are using this solution to bolster cloud security


Networking Session

Women are vastly underrepresented in the technology field, yet their presence is crucial. Every single one of us has the ability to move this dial, to do our part to have impact in driving change.

Come prepared to share ideas and forge new connections that can help empower each other to make an impact in your organizations and communities.
