10:30am – 11:30am: The Skills Gap in Security Today and Tomorrow. How Do We Address?

 

Dov Thorner, Enterprise Leader – Spot Security, Spot by NetApp

 

Cloud adoption has been on the rise for years. Today many organizations rely heavily on cloud service providers for their critical infrastructure and applications. The problem is the shortage of experienced professionals in cloud security has become a significant challenge for many organizations. According to a recent survey by CyberRisk Alliance 1 in 4 companies cite skills gap in Cloud Security. What can be done to bridge the skills gap? Is outsourcing or partnering with Managed Service Providers a good option? While training and certification programs are beneficial, they can be costly and take time. The session will dive deeper into this and offer ideas and potential solutions.

11:30am – 12:30pm: It’s Time to Rethink Network Security for Cloud

 

Rod Stuhlmuller, VP of Solutions Marketing, Axiatrix

 

Cloud architects, CIOs and CISOs will learn how their peers are reducing the complexity and costs of network security in the cloud. We will show exactly how enterprises are saving tens of thousands to millions of dollars annually by removing expensive licenses, compute, cloud data processing costs tied to using “Last Generation Firewall” architecture in the cloud. In addition to cost benefits, find out how the convergence of cloud networking and security brings policy inspection and enforcement into the natural path of traffic to improve performance, strengthen compliance, boost cyber resiliency, and accelerate cloud infrastructure automation projects.
