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.

Protecting Data in Motion with Thales High Speed Encryptors

Thales High Speed Encryptors (HSE) are specialized devices designed to safeguard data in transit. These devices, certified by FIPS, employ purpose-built hardware and software to handle all encryption operations. HSEs are available in both hardware and software versions, making them adaptable for various scenarios and network topologies such as Point to Point, Hub and Spoke, Fully Meshed, Point to Multi-Point and Cloud deployments. Thanks to Thales HSEs' tunnel-free technology, they can achieve line rate speeds with minimal overhead and almost no latency. Organizations that deploy Thales HSEs can enjoy uninterrupted LAN/WAN connectivity without any negative impact. In fact, customers have reported increased bandwidth utilization when replacing outdated encryption technologies like IPSEC, which tend to introduce additional overhead. Thales HSEs support all modern cryptographic algorithms and also allow for the use of custom and future algorithms. Moreover, Thales HSEs are Quantum Safe ready, ensuring that your data remains secure even in the face of advancements in quantum computing.
