Executive Summit

Enjoy a networking dinner with the Phoenix Governing Body, facilitated by the CISO for Arizona, Tim Roemer. Unpack how collaboration and teamwork are moving us forward in 2020.

The new way of work is remote, mobile-first, and cloud-based. Employees expect instant, secure access to applications, information, and resources. Meanwhile, threats proliferate, VPNs lag, hardware costs rise, and little is truly secure. Hub-and-spoke networks employing castle-and-moat security are no longer tenable, and leaders that cling to legacy architectures put enterprises at risk. Daniel Shuler joins Manoj Apte on stage to present Secure Cloud Transformation, a practical cyber security approach that prioritizes security and user performance to align with today’s way of working.

In this session, we'll discuss how enterprise IT leaders can:

• Improve customer digital experience while safeguarding sensitive information
• Increase user performance while minimizing risk
• Drive revenue and scalability while controlling costs

Join Keith Rayle from Fortinet for a brief history and workings of artificial intelligence (AI), to include current and future phases of AI deployment for solving problems. This discussion will examine the use of AI in security tools implementations.

Join this session to learn:

• Strategies for deploying AI-based solutions
• Cybercriminal uses of AI and what to expect from future attacks
• Management potential using AI-based architectures

The market consideration and adoption of software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) represents the largest networking transformation in recent history. Organizations are turning to SD-WAN to improve connectivity, reduce costs, and simplify management at their branch office locations. But what about security?

In this boardroom, you will discuss:

• Embracing change — the pros and cons
• Addressing weaknesses within branch offices and roaming users
• Keeping security top of mind for business leaders

Executive boardrooms are private, closed-door discussions that encourage attendee participation and are limited to 15 attendees (seating priority is given to CIOs and CISOs). To reserve your seat, please contact: Led Rhodes at 503-972-4431 or Led.Rhodes@evanta.com.

Digital transformation has dramatically transformed the enterprise risk surface, automating a vast array of processes while outsourcing a vast array of systems and services. Through this frenetic reshaping, few organizations truly understand the nature of their new risk reality and how to successfully manage it.

In this interactive discussion we will:

• Discuss emerging threats and regulations
• Explore the true nature of the enterprise cyber risk surface
• Discuss threats and regulations driving organizations to better manage their extended enterprise
• Share insights on how to better manage third-party risk (hint: good data!)

The CIO is the tip of the spear when it comes to driving impact throughout the business. Yet, with this leadership comes the burden of responsibility of widespread initiative implementation and ensuring their vision encompasses the needs of stakeholders across the enterprise. Join the top CIOs in Arizona to learn how they are delivering maximum impact and lasting change that meets everyone’s needs.

In this keynote, you’ll hear about:

• Communication and collaboration strategies that aligned CIOs as true business partners
• Culture shifts that embodied an agile workplace
• Modernizing IT and analytics to drive business outcomes
