10:30am-11:30am CDT: Securing Your Cloud In The Age of Hybrid Workplaces and SASE
David Ginsburg, VP, Product and Solutions Marketing, Aryaka
Two trends top-of-mind for CIOs and their teams are the need for effective regionally-based access to the different public cloud platforms and SaaS applications, sometimes termed Software-Defined Cloud Interconnect, as well as how to secure this connectivity whether an employee is on-premises or remote. This second trend is where the Secure Access Service Edge, or SASE, comes into play. In this talk, we look at how to best architect a SASE deployment to support these connectivity requirements in a secure, scalable, and manageable way. We also look at the advantages of consuming this as part of a managed service vs going at it alone.
Topics will also include:
• Is SASE right for me, and how to I get started? Why now?
• How can I integrate SASE with my on-premises security and preserve my existing investment?
• The role of Services PoPs in enabling SASE.
• What are the most important SASE use cases?

1:30pm-2:30pm CDT: Cloud Migration Could Be Your Dress Rehearsal for IT Disaster Recovery
Annur Sumar, CTO, Cloud Unity

Day-to-day threats can destroy data and ruin a business. That’s why it is critical for all businesses to have a current, active disaster recovery (DR) plan. If you’ve completed a cloud migration project, perhaps it was your dress rehearsal and your chance to see how well prepared you really are.
In this session, attendees will learn to adapt their BC/DR plans to support Cloud Migration.
Areas that will be covered include:
- Server operations failover and failback
- Production application-specific operations failover and failback
- Production database operations failover and failback
- Production workload failover and failback
- Workload onboarding into public cloud
- Software and data dependency discovery and mapping
- Critical path analysis of recovery and continuity workflows
- Production data consistency and integrity
