[1 CPE] How to Stop East/West Attacks in Your Data Center

  Presented by Aruba Networks

70% of all breaches are caused by endpoint security vulnerabilities, followed by lateral movement in the data center. Halt that hacker traffic. Attend this session to learn about a new category of data center switch that combines best-of-breed L2/3 switching with the industry’s first hardware-accelerated programmable processor. This new tool augments your malware and ransomware detection and response capabilities by delivering stateful firewall services inline, at scale, with wire-rate performance and orders of magnitude improvement over traditional data center L2/3 switches. You will learn how to gain visibility and enforce security policy for all East/West flows between workloads to protect the critical assets in your data center.

[1 CPE] Data Protection and Disaster Recovery with a Multi-Cloud Mindset

  Presented by Cerium Networks

Explore concepts to help successfully utilize multi-cloud environments to provide cohesive backup and disaster recovery strategies. As we move to new architectures and the capabilities they provide, how do we account for compliance, data protection, and daily operations without the management chaos? Learn some key topics to ponder while moving into the new multi-cloud environments for storage, networking, governance, and compliance.

[1 CPE] Who’s Attacking You?

  Presented by Critical Insight

One of the most common questions from IT Leaders and Executives is: Who would attack our organization and why?

In this discussion, we’ll examine the most common cyberattack perpetrators and their methods. From hostile Nation-States to teenagers to some threat actors you might not expect. We will discuss the methods these attackers are using to gain access to your networks, be it unpatched systems, newly found zero days, as well as other avenues into your network. Also covered will be the intent of these attacks, whether it is to steal your intellectual property, extort your cryptocurrency, or to disrupt your operation to meet strategic goals. Most importantly, we will discuss how to tell the difference, and how to protect yourself.

[1 CPE] Migrating to a Multi-Cloud Environment: A Non-idealistic Approach

  Presented by Cerium Networks

Multi-Cloud. A new buzzword? Or a path of digital transformation on which many have unknowingly already embarked?

During this session, we will explore the definition of “Multi-Cloud”, the maturity level of various providers – including your private cloud(s), and the competencies required to manage mission-critical applications in these cloud(s). We will review multiple migration and consumption models as well as business outcomes. The move to Multi-Cloud deployment is a strategy generally explored for greater efficiency, greater flexibility, and reduced complexity. However, these deployments often include increased compliance and security requirements, potentially additional cost, and certainly a new skill set which may not exist within your organization. We will explore these topics and more in our discussion on migrating a data center to a Multi-Cloud environment.

[1 CPE] Cloud is a Tool, Not a Destination

  Presented by GCSIT

So, you’re ready to move to the cloud. Where do you start? Moving business functions to the cloud is almost always a good idea, but there is no “one cloud fits all” solution. The cloud offers a great number of benefits to the intelligent and engaged IT decision-maker, but the cloud is a tool to be leveraged and utilized, not a destination to be achieved.

Cloud adoption is a realistic approach to embracing the benefits of cloud computing. Join this session to gain a full breadth understanding of requirements to help you decide when, how, and how much to move to the cloud. Learn how the cloud adoption approach evaluates and encourages the use of Cloud resources when and where they make sense.
