Keynote Presentation (20 min): Digital Transformation – The Intersection of New Business Models and Sustainability

Speakers: Tom Raftery, Global VP, Futurist and Innovation Evangelist, SAP

Abstract: Digital transformation has been a buzzword at the periphery of our consciousness for several years now with many proofs of concept but few delivered projects at scale. Covid 19 has changed that with organisations now reaching levels of digitization they hadn’t planned to be at until 2025. But what does this increased digitization mean? SAP Futurist and Innovation Evangelist Tom Raftery unpacks these trends to show how digital technologies are transforming the lives of individuals, enterprises, and the planet for the benefit of all.

Keynote Presentation (20 min): A Strategy for Securing your Everything

Speaker: Grant Asplund, Growth Technologies Evangelist, Check Point Software Technologies

Abstract: The stakes have never been higher for organizations to get cyber security right. There are many forces driving this sense of urgency: companies adding new private and public cloud platforms, new products, geographic regions, apps and web capabilities, not to mention securing the increasing number of remote workers because of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the increase in sophisticated cyber-attacks, security teams are under pressure to protect organizations while under staffed, under-equipped and under budget.

In this session, cyber security thought leader Grant Asplund discusses how businesses of all sizes can adopt a modern approach to cyber security with a consolidated architecture that fully automates preventing attacks before enterprise systems can be breached.

Enterprise End User Case Studies (20 min): Interactive real-world case studies where executive end users discuss challenges faced, solutions, strategy, implementation and outcomes.

• Case Study: Customers Redefining the Approach to Modern Cyber Security Program

Speaker: Jane Arnett, Strategic Sales & Partnerships, Check Point Software Technologies

Abstract: Hybrid technology environments often drive businesses to apply different point solutions, many of which focus on detection rather than prevention. This reactive approach to cybersecurity is expensive and ineffective, complicates security operations and creates inherent gaps in the overall security posture.

Hear how other enterprises have taken a holistic approach that meets their dynamic business demands, focused on prevention first.
