Welcome to the New Age of Converged Secondary and Primary Storage

  Presented by StorageCraft

Managing storage continues to be complex, and often expensive. Something needs to change, and it certainly won’t be a dramatic increase in staffing. Fortunately, object storage is the answer. By eliminating the use of legacy RAID, object storage, can be the foundation for a scale-out converged storage solution that solves both data protection and primary storage challenges. Want to recover a multi-TB VM in less than a second? No problem. Want to protect files from ransomware? No problem. Need an enterprise file serving, archiving, or virtual server storage solution? No Problem. Attend this session to learn how object storage is changing the landscape for IT admin and the technology of the future.

Security Automation in the Cloud

  Presented by Trend Micro

Cloud Computing brings greater simplicity around provisioning and deployment. The challenge is how to properly apply security without creating complexity.

With automation, one can use traditional technical controls to provide comprehensive coverage. This approach is not simply paying “lip service” to compliance requirements.

In this session we will discuss the drivers for such automation and look at what is traditionally considered detective controls in a preventative way.

Changing the Perception from the “IT Person” to a Technology Leader

  Presented by Monty Low • Director of IT, Arizona Coyotes

Evolving Your BC/DR Strategy to Protect Today’s Multi-Cloud Environments

  Presented by Unitrends

We are living in a “Less is More” world. IT Professionals are facing more work, projects, and risks than ever before, while having less time, money, and a shrinking tolerance of downtime. External threats such as malware and natural disasters present significant risk to organizations without the proper BCDR strategies, but they are far from the only causes of data loss. Data continues to grow at an exponential rate and not only on-premises. As organizations are rapidly adopting cloud-based solutions in the form of IaaS, SaaS, and PaaS, they must also consider data protection strategies to address native gaps within these platforms. Join Adam Marget, Technical Solutions Specialist, Unitrends, as we explore the evolving landscape of data protection, cloud’s growing role, BC/DR strategies to safeguard all workloads, and best practices in planning your DR approach.

Cookies and Alphabet Soup: What are the real consequences?

  Presented by cStor

The new era of data privacy regulations is here. With the alphabet soup of regulation names, like GDPR, CCPA, and newer state laws HB or SB, it’s more than just cookies consent on a website. There are real consequences around non-compliance. In this session, we’ll explore what you need to know about these regulations, if there is real meat around non-compliance with penalties, and the data security controls you need to put in place to keep data private.

Addressing Infrastructure Security Across Hybrid Environments

  Presented by Trend Micro

Security requirements do not go away when you move part of your data center workloads to the cloud. Although most security controls can be easily applied to systems in the cloud, the weight of those controls and what constitutes an immediate concern versus a lower priority alert, can be different. We will discuss the need for advanced visibility to differentiate your cloud systems versus your internal data center with central visibility. With the dynamic nature of the cloud, and the flexibility of the modern data center, it is important to apply the same security controls but view the alerts differently depending on their origin.

Exploitation of IT Vulnerabilities is Escalating

  Presented by Quest Software

Cybercriminals are savvier than ever. They understand that IT complexities create serious vulnerabilities, and these criminals are continually developing new ways to breach your organization’s boundaries. That is why a proactive, unified endpoint management (UEM) strategy should be part of your organization’s core business strategy.
