As cloud adoption and SD-WAN innovation hastens, global enterprises are transforming how they build and secure wide area networks. Leveraging automation, enterprises can deploy, connect and secure hundreds of sites per week, a feat not possible with a traditional device-centric approach.
During this session, we’ll discuss how the unification of SD-WAN, WAN optimization, routing and security in a single, centrally orchestrated platform:
- Delivers superior application performance wherever apps are hosted
- Increases the quality of experience for end users and for IT
- Simplifies branch WAN edge architecture

While our lives have changed dramatically this year, some things, like the need to have a highly capable, well trained and motived workforce haven’t changed. We’ll discuss how the pandemic accelerated government digital transformation and the challenges that still exist.
IT departments worked quickly and efficiently to support remote workforces. While productivity in many departments and industries has been effective, there have been adverse effects from remote working. While technology has been a driving force, it can’t replace some elements. Join Ann Dunkin for a look at the gaps that have been created and what lies ahead.

Take ownership of data that already belongs to you.
Today organizations are storing their corporate data across multiple locations and platforms. On prem data centers, co-lo facilities, hybrid/multi cloud, SaaS and endpoint devices. With company data being so widely dispersed it’s difficult to know if you have full visibility, access and the flexibility to move data and workloads across locations and platforms. Protecting your data is only one component to maintaining ownership of your data. Along with having a robust data protection platform for on prem data you would also need the same level of control/protection of data assets that live outside the data center.
To truly own your data you must:
- Protect and secure your data regardless of location or platform
- Have access to it all
- Have the tools to move your data/workloads where it makes sense for the business today and the flexibility adjust as business circumstances change.
(On-Prem, hybrid/multi cloud, SaaS) - Have insight into your data, not only to understand the “what and where” but to provide governance and compliance
We will discuss what this all means and why you should rethink your approach to data management.

System Administrators are critical people to every organization. They design, build, and maintain all the parts and pieces that enable business, whether that’s retail, healthcare, or even a government agency. Ensuring sysadmin tasks are performed as securely as possible without hampering their ability to keep our business running is a delicate balance. These “insiders” not only know how the systems operate but have the credentials and privileges to operate them.
In this session, we will demonstrate an Active Directory breach using pass-the-hash and discuss ways to enable the System Administrators to operate in a way that not only protects the business from threats but also enables them to perform the intricate tasks they accomplish daily to keep business flowing under the covers.

Alongside the rise of today’s dynamic workforce, the speed and scale of sophisticated cyber-attacks is rapidly increasing. As the cybersecurity industry continues to endure an ongoing skills shortage, over-worked and under-resourced teams urgently need augmentation in order to defend against evolving, sophisticated threats.
For over three years, Darktrace experts have been working to meet this challenge, investigating whether they could teach AI to think like a cybersecurity analyst. It takes subtle, nuanced skills and implicit knowledge for an analyst to detect genuinely threatening activity, and the creation of the world-first Cyber AI Analyst took analyzing over one hundred of the world’s top threat analysts and complex machine learning algorithms.
