Opening Introductions
Presentation
Rise of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
Secure access service edge has quickly emerged as a hot topic in cybersecurity, but what exactly does it mean and why should organizations care? As cloud migration, BYOD adoption, and remote work have skyrocketed in prevalence, it has become increasingly apparent that organizations need to think differently about security. While legacy tools like firewalls are no longer equipped to handle the modern IT ecosystem, SASE platforms like Bitglass are built for this exact moment. In this presentation, you will learn:
- The core components of a SASE platform like Bitglass.
- The functionality you need to secure cloud, web, and remote access use cases.
- Architectural considerations you should keep in mind when comparing SASE vendors.

Presentation
7 Habits of Highly Effective Cybersecurity Operations

Presentation
Zero Trust and Access Management as a Service (AMaaS)
Organizations are moving to Zero Trust Security, and Identity and Access Management, IAM, is a key element of this new strategy. Modern Identity as a Service (IDaaS) platforms solve half of the IAM problem: Identity. Access Management as a Service (AMaaS), an emerging strategy, solves the other half: Access.

Presentation
A Strategy For Securing Your Everything; How Non-Integrated Solutions Challenge Overall Enterprise Security
Security practitioners understand the need to implement new controls that help their organizations’ defend against the rising number of attacks and Fifth Generation threats like the SolarWinds Orion supply chain hack. But slowed economic growth and the push to secure systems from sophisticated new threats challenges many companies.
These global market conditions underscore the importance of employing a consolidation strategy with a unified security architecture at its center that protects cloud, networks, endpoints, and mobile devices.
Join Grant Asplund, Growth Technologies Evangelist for Check Point Software Technologies, as he shares the building blocks for putting in place a consolidation strategy that:
- Increases security efficiency with a unified security architecture
• Improves your organization’s overall threat prevention profile
• Eliminates complexity caused by managing disparate systems
• Reduces total cost of ownership
