Florida CIO Executive Summit

The world has changed; so has your workforce. 2020 shattered the 9-to-5, on-site work paradigm and this is an opportunity for the enterprise to re-imagine the way they approach the traditional employment deal. Technology and security leaders are competing against organizations across the world for talent and boosting employee engagement can be the competitive advantage needed to recruit and retain the strongest performers.

Join this fireside chat to discuss:

• How to manage the employer-employee social contract to increase retention
• Strategies to improve employee engagement and performance to future-proof your hybrid workforce
• Working with HR partners to develop a compelling employment value proposition for attracting and recruiting top talent

With people working remotely and most user traffic destined for SaaS and cloud, network security requires transformation. It’s no longer efficient or cost-effective to route traffic through the corporate network to apply security controls. Adopting a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Architecture while focusing on Zero-Trust principles ensures that your employees can be productive and secure working from anywhere.

In this session, we will discuss:

• The economics and business case for a SASE journey
• Best practices for implementing Zero Trust within a SASE architecture
• The importance of granular Cloud and SaaS visibility in a SASE architecture

Maintaining a robust security posture has become a business-critical requirement at a time when the security threat landscape is more challenging than ever. Today’s highly distributed cloud-native applications with workloads running on complex hybrid/multi-cloud infrastructures present extensive and vulnerable attack surfaces to malicious actors, who are getting more sophisticated all the time. Now is the time to re-evaluate your cloud security strategy before it’s too late.

Join your peers for a discussion around:

• Optimizing the cost of the cloud and automating cloud security posture at scale
• Improving security, compliance and governance in cloud architectures
• Leveraging the resources and controls you already have
