Protecting Data in the Age of AI with Netskope's Sanjay Beri
A hybrid workforce, the push for data and AI transformation and continued drive toward cloud has changed the game for security leaders. Secure access service edge (SASE) and security service edge (SSE) — once little known terms — are now mainstream, with migration to SSE a defacto vision for most business leaders.
Join WWT's Head of Global Security Strategy Traci Sever and Netskope CEO Sanjay Beri, a pioneer in the SSE space, as he talks about how cloud, mobile and remote work is driving security leaders to change the way they're doing business. Sanjay also talks about the implications AI is having on security teams, and how to defend against AI when used as a threat, and how culture plays a key role in building a high-performance, growth organization that has security at its heart.
Reducing Human Error in the Security Loop with Beyond Identity's Jasson Casey
The concept of identity and access management has changed dramatically over the last decade. As organizations gravitate toward AI solutions, leaders are being forced to think about where they depend on humans for security and how they can take humans out of the loop. Because humans fighting computers is a losing battle.
Join WWT's Head of Global Security Strategy, Traci Sever and Jasson Casey, CEO of Beyond Identity — the company founded on the basic premise that passwords should be eradicated — as he offers unique perspective on why most identity vendors solve for productivity issues, but not security issues, and why identity and access management is the ideal way to verify who you are. Jasson also talks about executive priorities over the next 12-18 months and the implications generative AI is having across the board.
Driving Full Network Transparency with ExtraHop's Patrick Dennis
You can't protect what you can't see. And increasingly, as workloads traverse cloud environments and hybrid work models — not to mention the explosion of generative AI solutions — security leaders are flying blind.
Join WWT's Head of Global Security Strategy Traci Sever and ExtraHop CEO Patrick Dennis, as he talks about challenges in the extended detection and response (XDR) space, the importance of gaining clarity on what happens between end points and how security leaders can best address the talent gap facing the industry.
Preventing Unknown Threats with Deep Instinct's Carl Froggett
We've all heard it. It's not if your organization will succumb to a cyber attack, it's when. But what if that wasn't the case? What if there were a purpose-built deep learning cybersecurity framework that could help prevent attacks before take place.
Join Deep Instinct CIO Carl Froggett as he talks with WWT's Head of Global Security Strategy Traci Sever about Deep Instinct's prevention-first approach and how it is making an impact on the industry. Carl also talks about unintended consequences of artificial intelligence and tackles the talent gap that is growing within the cyber community.
Combatting Cyber Threats and Disruption with SixThirty
A near constant stream of change and disruption is gripping business leaders like never before. It's the new reality. Adapt to change or risk falling behind. Stay ahead of the cyber curve by hearing from a trio of emerging cyber vendors — each of which are part of the investment portfolio of SixThirty, a global venture capital firm based out of St. Louis that invests in early-stage companies at the intersection of cyber, health, wealth and privacy.
