What will we discuss?
In today’s dynamic hybrid workplace, companies face the challenge of enabling employees and third-party contractors to work seamlessly from anywhere, on any device, while keeping security threats at bay. Striking a balance between productivity and protection is no easy task for IT and security teams who must secure sensitive data across varied devices and locations. Join your peers for an intimate roundtable discussion as we navigate these challenges, exploring strategies for enhancing the hybrid workforce experience without compromising security.
This discussion will also delve into the pressing challenges companies face in managing end-to-end connectivity and security infrastructures. With skill gaps widening and budgets under pressure, IT teams are expected to service, support, and secure an expanding network from edge to WAN, often with limited resources. We’ll examine how AI-powered threat prevention and automation can ease these demands, boosting security efficacy and ROI.
Lastly, we’ll outline five critical steps to accelerate your journey toward a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture. From aligning IT and user objectives to assessing your security infrastructure, we’ll identify key considerations for a full-featured SASE implementation and explore the benefits of managed SASE solutions. This interactive session invites you to assess where you are on your path to SASE and how to improve your organization’s security posture in a hybrid work landscape.

How do you improve the hybrid workforce user experience, including 3rd party contractors, while staying secure?
Companies face the complexity of a rapidly evolving environment. They aim to create a flexible work environment where employees can work from anywhere, by any device – managed or unmanaged – and securely access sensitive company information, while boosting productivity and improving the hybrid workforce user experience. Simultaneously, they must respond swiftly to ever-changing security threats. This formidable task falls primarily on the IT and security departments.

How do you manage your end-to-end connectivity and security infrastructure while addressing knowledge/resource gaps?
Companies increasingly struggle to safeguard their sensitive data, which is crucial for their success. The internal IT teams are challenged to manage, service, support, and operate their critical network infrastructure from edge to WAN. As complexity grows, skill gaps are widening, and budgets are tight. Most IT teams cannot tackle all connectivity and security challenges alone. For example, monitoring, updating, and patching is very time-consuming. Together, we will explore how automation of IT operations through AI-powered threat prevention technologies can enhance security efficacy, reduce complexity, and significantly improve ROI.
