[1 CPE] Data Classification and Compliance with Secure Storage

  Presented by Hitachi Vantara

With the continuing expanse of data, many companies struggle to store, categorize, and account for all of their corporate data. Due to this intensifying challenge, companies are unable to retrieve and analyze data in a way that leads to proper data governance. As their data grows, regulatory bodies institute laws and regulations to protect consumers’ data and ensure businesses are operating ethically. Unfortunately, companies that fail to comply with these changing regulations face large fines, loss of market share, and consumer backlash.

Join us for a demo to learn how Hitachi’s solutions can help companies find and manage their data through Data Classification and Secured Storage. Also learn if your company qualifies for the complimentary $100,000 data assessment 700+ customers have benefited from over the past decade.

[1 CPE] What Got Us Here, Won’t Get Us to Where We’re Going…

  Presented by Aruba, a HPE Company

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.

[1 CPE] Protect Your Applications and Data from Ransomware Threats

  Presented by Airgap Networks

Typical enterprise attack surface has dramatically increased post COVID19. Employees, contractors, and vendors have access to enterprise crown jewels over legacy and insecure VPN technology for their respective home environments. It is no wonder that we are witnessing a rapid increase in cybercrimes in the last 18 months. Is protecting your application and data your top priority? If so, please join us in the session to understand the threat landscape and various technology options to safeguard your assets.

We believe the fundamental issues faced by the organizations relate to excessive trust relationships over VLANs and VPNs. For better security, we must ensure that every transaction is authorized and authenticated, and we must make this happen without the need for a bunch of legwork.

Join us and learn more about our point of view on how you can protect your assets without forklift upgrades. Ritesh Agrawal, Co-Founder and CEO of Airgap Networks, will discuss industry leadership and provide a technology overview, addressing the following:

  • How does the modern Application Access approach compare to the traditional remote access VPN?
  • What’s the best method to deploy and operate Universal Secure Access Solution?
  • How to apply zero trust principles, especially for legacy protocols such as SSH, SMB, WMI, RDP, etc.?
  • What’s the importance of SSO/MFA authentication coupled with intent check?
  • Walkthrough (Demo) real-world use cases across private and public sectors.

Enjoy the INTERFACE event and we look forward to meeting you at the (virtual) booth.
