Presented by Star Leaf & Netrix
The presentation will go over the complexities of a successful video/collaboration environment from a technical and physical perspective. We will discuss the technology, psychology of, and successful adoption of Video Conferencing in the workplace. One size does not fit all and equipment must be scaled appropriately. We will also go over the recommended beta/installation program and what that looks like.

Adoption of cloud services has driven enterprises to re-think WAN architecture. Architectures based on traditional, manually-programmed routers can’t keep pace. A business-driven SD-WAN can provide secure direct connections from the branch to SaaS/IaaS across the internet, significantly increasing application performance resulting in a superior end-user QoEx (Quality of Experience). By integrating SD-WAN, WAN optimization, routing and security in a single unified platform, enterprises can simplify branch WAN edge architecture, accelerating time to value and dramatically reducing operational costs. From a centralized SD-WAN orchestrator, application priorities and QoS and security policies may be configured and assigned to automate traffic handling across the WAN. A single mouse click distributes SD-WAN configuration parameters to all sites, improving operational efficiency and minimizing the potential for human errors that can negatively impact application availability and enterprise security. This session will describe why SD-WAN adoption continues at a breakneck pace because of the user productivity, agility and cost savings benefits that a business-driven SD-WAN delivers.

In this session, you will learn why Gartner says, “Through 2022, at least 95% of cloud security failures will be the customers fault.” You will learn to find the best defense against these potential failures by enabling continuous compliance and security of your public cloud workloads and assets.
Presented by Allen Kent • NERC CIP Reliability Specialist for the NAES Corporation
This presentation will cover the elements of the power industry, the development of the NERC standards, and an overview of the CIP physical and cybersecurity requirements that currently apply to Bulk Electric System Facilities. The presentation will also highlight differences faced by Operations Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) groups as well as the challenges of auditable compliance over normal IT operations.

The growth of and use of public clouds has been unprecedented, with no signs of abating. Today, the use of public clouds for enterprise datacenters is mainstream. And for good reason; the advantages are significant and the gained agility undisputable. However, the number of services and options being offered by the public cloud providers today can be daunting. The breadth and depth of services and choice is increasing daily.
With these choices come consequences; it is a ‘one strike and you’re out’ environment. Just one misconfiguration can potentially put your entire organization at risk…or worse. It is this combination of seemingly endless choice along with the ease of access and use that creates the potential for catastrophe. Moreover, just imagine trying to find out if any of your S3 buckets are exposed or misconfigured when you have thousands of them. It’s like finding a needle in a stack of needles.
While most everyone will agree the public cloud environments being offered today are extremely comprehensive and very powerful, in unskilled hands, one fat-finger can have dire consequences. And, as you expand your use and implement ephemeral cloud-native services such as Amazon Lambda functions and other cloud-native platform components (RSDA, Redshift, ELF, ALB, ECS) new challenges will arise when conducting threat-detection and attribution.
In this session you will learn why Gartner says, “Through 2022, at least 95% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault.”

Learn how organizations are doing more IT with less infrastructure and less complexity using hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). The hyperconverged experts will discuss why virtualization doesn’t need to be complex, inefficient, or costly when you adopt a modern, innovative architecture. The simplicity, scalability, and high availability of a turn-key infrastructure doesn’t just lower costs, it frees up your own IT experts to work on new projects they haven’t had time for in the past.

As modern organizations become increasingly dependent on evolving technology, there is an ever-increasing need for IT organizations to do more with less, decrease lead times of services, and reduce operational risk introduced by change.
In this talk, we will explore how infrastructure teams are adopting DevOps principles and readily available tools such as Ansible, Git, and Jenkins to transform operational risk and catapult operational efficiency.
Join us while we examine the following topics:
