  • Develop integrated incident management structures and strategies
  • Balance standardized incident response for high-quantity attacks and customized response for sophisticated, one-off attacks
  • Leverage scalable workflows and machine learning to vanquish challenges

CISO

Phoenix Children's Hospital

The new way of work is remote, mobile-first, and cloud-based. Employees expect instant, secure access to applications, information, and resources. Meanwhile, threats proliferate, VPNs lag, hardware costs rise, and little is truly secure. Hub-and-spoke networks employing castle-and-moat security are no longer tenable, and leaders that cling to legacy architectures put enterprises at risk. Daniel Shuler joins Manoj Apte on stage to present Secure Cloud Transformation, a practical cyber security approach that prioritizes security and user performance to align with today’s way of working.

In this session, we'll discuss how enterprise IT leaders can:

  • Improve customer digital experience while safeguarding sensitive information
  • Increase user performance while minimizing risk
  • Drive revenue and scalability while controlling costs
