This presentation highlights the reasons and need for Unified Endpoint Management in your business strategy. This presentation’s sole purpose is to educate C-level and system administrators of the need for UEM as well as what aspects are important. One of the problems with endpoint management today is the proliferation of endpoints. During this global health crisis especially, we are seeing a large work-from-home movement in businesses all over the world. In order to combat this issue, you must have an endpoint management strategy that works not only on the network but off of it as well.

COVID-19 has accelerated digital transformation to a point we thought we’d reach in 2025. But the groundwork for such a leap was laid some time before at the ASU University Technology Office. Deputy CIO IT Development, Mobility and Smart Cities, Chris Richardson, will share how the culture of innovation at UTO, and its agile mindset, represent an exciting new definition of digital transformation.
Chris Richardson is the Deputy Chief Information Officer Development, Mobility, and Smart Cities at Arizona State University, organized as part of ASU’s University Technology Office.

As we have seen in 2020, many companies are working to enable their employees to have a work from home capability. However, there are many factors that contribute to whether that will be possible or not. Are their apps supported? What devices are supported? How secure will they be? What latency issues will they incur and where is the data locality?
All of these topics and more will be addressed.

Cyber-hygiene has become a source of great concern of late. And while the Office 365 suite has helped communication and collaboration from multiple location points (at the office, at home, and on the road) there are still security concerns that must be mitigated. In this presentation, we will hear best practice suggestions for remaining safe while using Office 365. First, we’ll talk about security attitudes, then review CISA concerns with Office 365, and finally offer best practice suggestions and thought leadership. This presentation will be driven by J. Peter Bruzzese… cyber-security advisor and 8x awarded Microsoft MVP (Exchange/Office 365).

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.
Speaker Bio: Glenn Sullivan is a Principal Product Manager for Emerging Technologies at Infoblox and joined the Infoblox team when SnapRoute, a company he co-founded in 2015, was acquired by Infoblox. At SnapRoute, Sullivan was responsible for product direction by advocating for the end-user. Prior to founding SnapRoute, Sullivan was responsible for building out hyperscale data center environments at Apple. In addition to core network operational functions, Sullivan led efforts to automate the lifecycle management of various platforms in a multivendor environment. Before Apple, Sullivan was a specialist support engineer on the LAN Switching team in Cisco TAC. While there, his specialty was in turning around customer sentiment by focusing on escalated issues and transforming the customer experience into a positive one. Sullivan has a BS in Network and Systems Administration from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology).
