SASE as a Strategic Foundation for Secure and Resilient Enterprise Architecture
Hosted by NTT DATA
As enterprise environments expand across cloud, hybrid work, and distributed operations, so do threats. Under these new dynamics, CIOs must ensure for their organisations, that security and networking architectures remain resilient, scalable, and aligned with evolving business priorities while mitigating risks. Fragmented legacy models often lack the visibility, consistency, and adaptability required to manage growing cyber risks, increasing complexity, and rising governance expectations. At the same time, AI-driven threats are accelerating the pace and sophistication of attacks.
Join this Town Hall to discuss:
- Strengthening enterprise-wide resilience, visibility and consistent policy enforcement
- Understanding and addressing emerging AI-driven risks within modern architectures
- Key strategies on how to reduce complexity while supporting resilience and governance objectives
