Join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT's Jill Cochrane, Kris Carr, and Geoff Hancock, as they walk through different levels of cybersecurity maturity to give CISOs, CEOs and CIOs the confidence to improve their security postures wisely and maximize resources.

Identity and access management (IAM) is a balancing act. On the one hand, organizations need to mature their capabilities as corporate assets increasingly live outside the traditional security perimeter. On the other hand, this can't come at the cost of complicating the end-user experience. By focusing on five pillars of IAM, organizations can strike a balance, and give the right users the right level of access to enterprise resources at the right time. Join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT's Mike Wampler, Principal Security Consultant, and Maafu Shabaz, Principal Consultant. They'll discuss how organizations can adopt identity principles and practices to drive a cohesive, strategic approach to IAM.

With the rise of hybrid multicloud architectures, micro-segmentation is fast becoming a foundational layer of the security architecture to help protect against unauthorized lateral movement and access to high-value assets. When implemented correctly, micro-segmentation can offer the security needed and provide tremendous application visibility in the process. Join Illumio's Chief Evangelist, Nathanael Iverson, along with WWT's Matt Berry - Principal Security Advisor and Rudy Kasprzyk - Principal Architect. They will discuss what is happening in hybrid multicloud environments and how you can ensure yours is a success.

A culture shift is taking place within the federal government. In an environment that was traditionally slower to adopt new technologies, a new mentality is taking hold when it comes to modern applications – and that is to embrace apps that optimize and modernize operations versus clinging to legacy solutions. Agencies today cannot afford to hold onto and coddle legacy applications that cause issues. They need to decisively eliminate problematic applications and replace them with technologies that securely and effectively support their missions. During this Public Sector Tech Talk, experts from World Wide Technology and F5 Networks will discuss how this culture shift is impacting public sector agencies and key considerations that IT teams should bear in mind as they continue to modernize their application infrastructure.

The WWT Speaker Series events occur monthly and feature an inspiring speaker or thought provoking topic tied to innovation or culture. In honor of Women's History month, WWT and Gigamon are bringing together female leaders in cybersecurity to discuss their career path, lack of diversity in the field and how to change the perception that IT will always be a male-dominated field. Join us as we welcome: Jean Shapiro - Cybersecurity Executive at Banner Health, Alexa Kessler - Security Engineer at Early Warning, Kelly Kirk - Department of Defense, Shuanita Tyler - Security Policy & Compliance Lead at WWT, and Melissa Purinton - Practice Manager, Security Operations & Automation at WWT.
