Vancouver, BC CIO Virtual Executive Summit

As the pace of transformation accelerates, organizations continue to push for greater agility and efficacy, and almost all paths involve the cloud. Security leaders must ensure cloud assets operate smoothly and securely, which is why multi-cloud security is relied upon to provide protection, centralization and visibility.

Join this keynote presentation to learn more about:

• The latest trends in multi-cloud security
• Balancing on-prem and cloud in an era of remote work
• How you can prepare for the step in your cloud migration journey

With today’s ever-evolving threat landscape, advanced security is not enough to prevent attacks on your users and infrastructure. You need capabilities in place to help you respond rapidly to threats that may breach your defenses. To avoid serious and widespread damage, you need to prevent as much as you can and detect and respond quickly if a threat breaks through. The efficiency of XDR allows resource-constrained security teams to do more with less.

Join Antoine Saikaley as he leads this interactive conversation focused on:

• How XDR delivers on data correlation needed to tell the full story of an attack
• What the pragmatic differences are with XDR in the real world
• How this aligns with MITRE ATT&CK
