The program is driven by our senior-level Advisory Board including representatives from TNT, Henley Business School, Fox Networks Group, US Department of Defense and Wyndham Group.

Accelerate Secure Digital Transformation with AI/ML and Zero Trust Architecture
Leaders in every age must decide whether new trends are worth pursuing or distracting hype. In recent years, business success has become increasingly reliant on its IT infrastructure, making advances in this field especially consequential for innovation and accelerated business outcomes. AI and zero trust architecture are two such trends, and their ability to reduce risk, eliminate cost and complexity, and increase agility are well-documented. Join this session and learn: How zero trust architecture secures users, workloads, IoT/OT devices, and business partners by addressing critical security shortcomings of legacy network architecture, How to reduce network complexity without exposing your organization to new risks, and How AI/ML adds defensive and business analytics capabilities that have the power to turn IT into the engine propelling business success forward.

Staying Secure & Competitive: Navigating Digital Transformation in Uncertain Times
Digital transformation has changed the way we approach security. Recent circumstances – such as the rise of remote/hybrid work environments, the growing sophistication of cyberattacks and market volatility – has made the journey even more complex and treacherous. Modern organizations need better defenses against cyberattacks, but how do you protect your data when the landscape has so dramatically changed? How do you guard an attack surface that has expanded exponentially as a result of the increased use of cloud and mobile technologies? And how do you do this without negatively impacting application performance and employee productivity?
With over 25 years of security innovation leadership, Zscaler CEO, Chairman and Founder, Jay Chaudhry, has introduced numerous industry firsts and has fundamentally advanced the approach for cloud security. In this presentation, Jay will share practical insights and pragmatic recommendations for enterprises to accelerate digital transformation while improving organizations’ security posture in the wake of today’s escalating cybersecurity threat landscape. He will discuss how adopting a true Zero Trust architecture has a direct correlation to reducing organizational risk and helping ensure future success. As a trusted advisor to the top global enterprise CIOs and CISOs - 40% of Fortune 500 companies are Zscaler customers - Jay’s perspectives on security and IT can help attendees better understand and protect themselves against sophisticated, large-scale threats.
