As organizations rush to cover gaps in an expanding attack surface, thanks to digital transformation and remote work, they are realizing that this strategy is creating an uncontrolled technology sprawl. Yet many organizations continue purchasing more tools than they can manage, actually increasing their overall risk while wasting limited program budget. How is your technology investment strategy helping you meet your security outcomes?

In this discussion, you will learn:

• The state of “tools sprawl” and data showing its impact on security organizations
• Insights and best practices to reduce complexity and increase tool efficacies
• Maturing your security posture to drive desired outcomes

The risk of ransomware attacks is top-of-mind for all organizations today as threat actors become more sophisticated and their impact increasingly detrimental. In this interactive workshop, cybersecurity leaders will come together to share their latest strategies for addressing this persistent risk.

Join this benchmarking session to discuss:

• Taking ransomware protection to the next level
• Strategies to defend against bad actors
• Challenges and best practices in managing major security events

To bring SaaS into the scope of Zero Trust requires a comprehensive understanding of users, applications, and third-party integrations. Companies cannot rely on measures like SSO and MFA alone, as they only verify user identity and are vulnerable to token hijacking attacks. How can security leaders extend the concept "never trust, always verify" beyond the identity provider to cover their SaaS crown jewels like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Workday, Salesforce and ServiceNow?

Join this roundtable to:

• Benchmark with your peers regarding Zero Trust and SaaS security strategy
• Discuss the critical elements of a complete SaaS security stack
• Develop action items for protecting business-critical SaaS applications
