What do I do? Is this beyond my scope of expertise? Where can I get guidance?
These are questions that Cybersecurity professionals ask themselves every day. You may spend your days thinking you are alone; you are not. Join Joshua Stemp to learn how public-private partnerships can strengthen an organization’s cybersecurity posture. He will outline what the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is doing to secure the nation from the never- ending barrage of cyber threats.

In recent years, continuous integration and continuous deployment, aka CI/CD, have become de facto standards for DevOps-minded software development organizations. Adoption of CI/CD enables software architects and IT specialists to create more flexible, secure and agile infrastructure with new features and functionality that are continually improved and deployed. While compute and storage aspects of environments have benefited greatly from CI/CD, network infrastructure has lagged behind.
This presentation pulls back the covers on efforts taking place to bring CI/CD philosophies to the work of revamping legacy, monolithic network architectures using cloud-native principles, microservices and containerization. The end goal is to create networks that are inherently more adaptable, scalable, automated and simpler to manage.

Physical security is evolving. Security cameras can now store footage locally without NVRs or DVRs. Advanced filtering allows you to quickly find the footage you are looking for. Sharing access to live camera feeds can now be done simply via a link or SMS. Managing system health and providing using permissions is easier than ever. Access control can now integrate seamlessly into your security camera system to provide an added layer of security with real-time visibility.
Join Verkada and its preferred partner, Pine Cove Consulting, for a deep dive into the evolution of physical security systems and the transition to cloud-based physical security.

Over the past couple of decades, we’ve relied on a certain predictable and repeatable model of expectations from our infrastructure that has delivered. However, the demands of Digital Transformation, the pace of change, the capabilities within our teams — and of course the pandemic — have created business pressures that traditional ways of building and security infrastructure just can’t keep pace with.
The time is now to reflect, reset, and embrace a different way that will increase agility and flexibility as well as enhance performance and security. Lose the baggage of the past, travel light, and let’s chart a course for the journey ahead.

The events of the past year have accelerated conversations between the business and employees about what it means to be flexible. Whether it be schedule, location, amenities, or technologies, employees are seeking what they want and when and where they want it. This has led to a host of issues for technologists to consider, create process and policy around, as well as support.
Industries all over will have a remote workforce for the foreseeable future. Technology has led this transition and will continue to do so. IT professionals need to have a voice in these policy decisions. Spending needs to be reprioritized to accommodate these changes. Come and gather to discuss and share some of the challenges in supporting a hybrid work environment.

Adoption of cloud services and the explosive increase in mobile and IoT devices have driven enterprises to transform both their WAN and security architectures – not just one or the other. The strategic imperative is to deploy a more intelligent, highly automated software-defined wide area network (WAN) that can be seamlessly integrated with modern cloud-delivered security services. Gartner coined the term “secure access service edge” (SASE) to describe this cloud-first architecture. During this session, Aruba and Silver Peak will discuss:
Presented by INTERFACE Advisory Council
Since the start of the pandemic, your workflow and office structure have shifted tremendously. The way any firm operates now has adapted to the change in remote workers.

Have you tested your plan since the pandemic began?
Join the INTERFACE Advisory Council for an open discussion about these items and more. How does your BC/DR plan need to evolve now? Will your company have a large amount of staff permanently working remotely? We will discuss what controls you need to change, managing secure access, and handling a rise in security threats.

Are you regularly evaluating your network security?
Performing assessments is a tried-and-true method for improving your security posture, but they can be a daunting task for network security staff who are often short on manpower, expertise, and/or time. Regardless, the benefits of running assessments almost always outweigh any potential drawbacks. Having a security assessment in hand will increase your security situational awareness and significantly impact your organization’s risk preparedness and mitigation.
Join us as we discuss the importance of periodically validating your existing security controls and provide learnings and best practices from our experts.
