He has 25 years of experience in Information Security. He has focused on Identity and Access Governance, has led security teams for large ERP implementation teams designing GRC security and controls, built Threat and Vulnerability programs, PCI and HIPAA compliance programs, and has led several IT Audit teams for Fortune 100 and 500 companies. #### Synopsis With the shift to distributed working models, SaaS application sprawl, and a rapidly evolving IT environment, it’s no surprise that organizations are now more susceptible to cyber attacks and threat actors. In the last year, 90% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach. Identity security has emerged as the new perimeter in the constantly changing world of cybersecurity. But barriers to strong identity security practices are often outdated tools, limited access to technical talent, a lack of executive sponsorship, or a constrained budget. In this panel, we will discuss: • How to develop a compelling strategy and get executive board buy-in • How breaking down enterprise silos and aligning to the overall business strategy create a more resilient identity security program • How AI/ML can improve your identity security posture to adapt to changing environments, boost IT productivity, and stay ahead of security issues across the enterprise • Key considerations needed to make well-informed, risk-based decisions about provisioning, verifying, and deprovisioning access to non-employees and managing access to unstructured data © Copyright Machaon 2024. #### Speaker's Bio ![Image 139](http://technologysummit.net/images/Speaker%20Heads/TomBoehmer.gif) Throughout his 29-year career in IT, Tom has served the state, local government, and education industry as a strategic advisor and enabler. He focuses on generating positive outcomes by aligning technology investments against key industry imperatives. Today, Tom serves as the Region Director for the SLED Markets at Nutanix. In this position, he leads and supports the dedicated teams serving the public sector and education institutions throughout the Southwest Central US region. #### Synopsis Today’s hybrid and multi cloud infrastructures heavily utilize virtualization, software-defined infrastructure and automation. This has provided IT teams with more efficiency and agility but has also compounded security risks. These security threats are more acute for State, local, and education agencies as they carry confidential citizen, student and state information. The agencies and institutions face the constant threat of ransomware and other destructive forms of cyberattacks. Do you have the right infrastructure and processes to improve your security posture across the kill-chain? © Copyright Machaon 2021. #### Exhibitors [![Image

In the last year, 90% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach. Identity security has emerged as the new perimeter in the constantly changing world of cybersecurity. But barriers to strong identity security practices are often outdated tools, limited access to technical talent, a lack of executive sponsorship, or a constrained budget. In this panel, we will discuss: • How to develop a compelling strategy and get executive board buy-in • How breaking down enterprise silos and aligning to the overall business strategy create a more resilient identity security program • How AI/ML can improve your identity security posture to adapt to changing environments, boost IT productivity, and stay ahead of security issues across the enterprise • Key considerations needed to make well-informed, risk-based decisions about provisioning, verifying, and deprovisioning access to non-employees and managing access to unstructured data © Copyright Machaon 2024. #### Speaker's Bio ![Image 139](https://technologysummit.net/images/Speaker%20Heads/TomBoehmer.gif) Throughout his 29-year career in IT, Tom has served the state, local government, and education industry as a strategic advisor and enabler.

In the last year, 90% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach. Identity security has emerged as the new perimeter in the constantly changing world of cybersecurity. But barriers to strong identity security practices are often outdated tools, limited access to technical talent, a lack of executive sponsorship, or a constrained budget. In this panel, we will discuss: • How to develop a compelling strategy and get executive board buy-in • How breaking down enterprise silos and aligning to the overall business strategy create a more resilient identity security program • How AI/ML can improve your identity security posture to adapt to changing environments, boost IT productivity, and stay ahead of security issues across the enterprise • Key considerations needed to make well-informed, risk-based decisions about provisioning, verifying, and deprovisioning access to non-employees and managing access to unstructured data © Copyright Machaon 2024. #### Speaker's Bio ![Image 139](https://technologysummit.net/images/Speaker%20Heads/TomBoehmer.gif) Throughout his 29-year career in IT, Tom has served the state, local government, and education industry as a strategic advisor and enabler.

In the last year, 90% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach. Identity security has emerged as the new perimeter in the constantly changing world of cybersecurity. But barriers to strong identity security practices are often outdated tools, limited access to technical talent, a lack of executive sponsorship, or a constrained budget. In this panel, we will discuss: • How to develop a compelling strategy and get executive board buy-in • How breaking down enterprise silos and aligning to the overall business strategy create a more resilient identity security program • How AI/ML can improve your identity security posture to adapt to changing environments, boost IT productivity, and stay ahead of security issues across the enterprise • Key considerations needed to make well-informed, risk-based decisions about provisioning, verifying, and deprovisioning access to non-employees and managing access to unstructured data © Copyright Machaon 2024. #### Speaker's Bio ![Image 139](https://technologysummit.net/images/Speaker%20Heads/TomBoehmer.gif) Throughout his 29-year career in IT, Tom has served the state, local government, and education industry as a strategic advisor and enabler.

In the last year, 90% of organizations experienced an identity-related breach. Identity security has emerged as the new perimeter in the constantly changing world of cybersecurity. But barriers to strong identity security practices are often outdated tools, limited access to technical talent, a lack of executive sponsorship, or a constrained budget. In this panel, we will discuss: • How to develop a compelling strategy and get executive board buy-in • How breaking down enterprise silos and aligning to the overall business strategy create a more resilient identity security program • How AI/ML can improve your identity security posture to adapt to changing environments, boost IT productivity, and stay ahead of security issues across the enterprise • Key considerations needed to make well-informed, risk-based decisions about provisioning, verifying, and deprovisioning access to non-employees and managing access to unstructured data © Copyright Machaon 2024. #### Speaker's Bio ![Image 139](https://technologysummit.net/images/Speaker%20Heads/TomBoehmer.gif) Throughout his 29-year career in IT, Tom has served the state, local government, and education industry as a strategic advisor and enabler.

Today, phoenixNAP is a leading provider of data center services, from colocation to infrastructure-as-code. #### Synopsis Although hyperscale Public Cloud continues to be one of the most widely used infrastructure solutions, companies are increasingly pulling their data from it. According to an Uptime Institute Global Survey from 2021, 32% of organizations moved their workloads or data from a public cloud to a private infrastructure or on-premises/colocation environment. Costs, compliance, performance issues, security concerns, and lack of visibility were quoted as key reasons for cloud repatriation. While most organizations continue to keep some of their workloads in Public Cloud, they are turning to its alternatives to fulfill their more sophisticated needs. To protect their sensitive workloads, increase performance, and optimize costs, they are often combining multiple platforms and data center services. This model has become known as a Data Center as a Service (DCaaS). It an option that is providing simplicity of implementation, performance optimization, scalability, and low costs without any of the drawbacks of public cloud. DCaaS is also used to create multi-cloud environments where portions of data remain in Public Cloud, while the alternative solutions help organizations avoid capital expenditures, lower maintenance costs, enable automation, etc. In this session, phoenixNAP experts will define DCaaS and provide details on the available options for organizations looking to optimize their infrastructure. The talk will cover the most important trends in the data center market and provide guidance on choosing the best platform for a particular use case.

Cloud offers a new model to support agile application development, but managing the data in the cloud brings in a whole new set of challenges in managing the data associated with these applications, such as: • 24 x 7 Availability is a must • Do you deploy on private, public, or hybrid cloud • Fast and consistent access • How do you distribute the data regionally and globally • How do you secure and protect the data • How do you manage data sprawl and the associated costs • How do you search and parse the data • How do you analyze and consume the data for other audiences outside of the application • How do you avoid cloud lock-in • Is mobile a requirement? Mostly, yes. • Developers are a scarce resource - can you develop faster and with less cost, with your existing team How do you solve these problems cost-effectively?

By eliminating the use of legacy RAID, object storage, can be the foundation for a scale-out converged storage solution that solves both data protection and primary storage challenges. Want to recover a multi-TB VM in less than a second? No problem. Want to protect files from ransomware? No problem. Need an enterprise file serving, archiving, or virtual server storage solution?

Inadequate network performance ultimately diminishes the quality of the experience provided by an organization to its employees and customers, giving way to potential declines in overall productivity and public perception. With that, it’s evident that the investments you make within your network are critical to the future success of your overall business. There is nothing more frustrating than a congested network and the recurring complaints you receive when your systems are not performing as expected, so the ability to fully understand your network’s demands and how your critical applications are performing is key to making smarter business decisions. Once you’re able to see, control, and secure all of the traffic on your network, you’ll know how to better align your network and application performance to meet your business priorities, while also optimizing your end-users overall Digital Experience. In this session, Allot will highlight a few of the new challenges faced by enterprises of all sizes today, that are a direct result of the ever-changing landscape in which we all now operate.

He engages the industry around the globe on today’s risk challenges and how BlackBerry | Cylance uniquely mitigates them with the application of AI & machine learning. Champions a move from a historically reactive security posture to one focused on proactively predicting and preventing future risks. He comes to BlackBerry | Cylance from Dell where he served as its CSO, advancing responsibilities that included the strategic focus and tactical operations of Dell’s internal global security services, both physical and cyber. He was also charged with the advocacy of business resilience and security prowess generally, the seamless integration of Dell’s various security offerings, and with improving the effectiveness and efficiency of security initiatives, including Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. Before joining Dell, McClurg served as the Vice President of Global Security at Honeywell International; Lucent Technologies/Bell Laboratories; and in the U.S. Intelligence Community, as a twice-decorated member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), where he held an assignment with the US Department of Energy (DOE) as a Branch Chief charged with establishing a Cyber-Counterintelligence program within the DOE’s newly created Office of Counterintelligence. Prior to that, McClurg served as a Supervisory Special Agent within the FBI, assisting in the establishment of the FBI’s new Computer Investigations and Infrastructure Threat Assessment Center or what was later known as the National Infrastructure Protection Center within the Department of Homeland Security.

McClurg also currently serves as a Fellow at Utah Valley University’s Center for National Security Studies. #### Synopsis Just over 20 years ago I helped build the FBI’s InfraGard Program. Although we aspired to be proactively preventative, we have lived stymied, notwithstanding our best intentions, in the world of the Reactive and its associated “Defense in Depth” complexity and cost. Proactive prevention eluded us. The security industry has profited quite nicely from the insecurity of the world and this reactive paradigm. For decades we have relied on the best technology we had at the time to deflect the onslaught of what we faced daily in the way of malware and other attacks. The effectiveness of that AV technology was always predicated on having latest signatures on hand, which the adversaries could easily defeat with just the slightest modification of their last iteration. That signature-based paradigm required much in the way of downstream resources and expense and usually at least one “sacrificial lamb” upon which to let each new instance of threat sink its teeth. On a good day the capture and deflection rates rarely rose above 50%, requiring that we labor assiduously to manage leaderships’ expectations. We finally got leadership to understand and accept what became almost a mantra in the industry: “It’s not if but when”--as galling professionally as that admission was to make. However, just as predicted 50 years ago by Thomas Kuhn in his book the Structure of Scientific Revolutions, we’re seeing the dawn of a new day where AI’s machine learning and advance mathematical algorithms now offer validated deflection rates, pre-execution, in the realm of 99%.

Organizations are questioning the efficacy of conventional, perimeter-based defenses and are now evaluating a “trust but verify” model. What are key enterprise considerations when deploying Zero Trust and Software-defined Perimeter (SDP) to enable seamless access, ensure business compliance and mitigate risk? While consumers are getting desensitized to the incessant news of a given data breach and millions of identities lost to the dark web, enterprises face increased industry, regulatory and boardroom pressure to bolster their data protection measures. At an average loss of $4,000,000 USD per breach and potential fines upwards of 4% of gross revenue, progressing access security is among the top ten CIO initiatives. The traditional fortress model with perimeter and layered defenses can no longer be relied upon in a world of sophisticated attacks and threat actors given the dynamics of a modern workforce, mobile and distributed apps, and virtualization across network and multi-cloud infrastructure. Enterprises can no longer afford “connect, authenticate, and then access” visibility and control gaps. Zero Trust and Software-defined Perimeter offer compelling security by establishing trust by authenticating users and devices and securing connectivity directly to the application and resource. This session provides a pragmatic deep-dive into the world of Zero Trust and explores the advantages, nuances and technologies behind Secure Access and Software Defined Perimeter. Come join us at the Lunch and Learn with Pulse Secure and learn: • Where IT consumerization, virtualization and multi-cloud impacts access • The interest, reasoning and mechanics beyond the Zero Trust adoption • Why modern applications and usage must accommodate multi-trust models • Assessing Zero Trust readiness and determining targeted implementation • A flexible reference architecture for hybrid IT secure access © Copyright Machaon 2019. #### Speaker's Bio ![Image 64](https://technologysummit.net/images/Speaker%20Heads/SeanCordero.gif) Sean brings more than 18 years of information security and IT experience to his role at Netskope.

Unique regulatory requirements by industry vertical are also placing extra pressure on Security Officers and their teams. How can CISOs effectively respond? First and foremost, taking an architectural approach, one that includes network segmentation, will create the best chance of solving Enterprise security holistically and for the long term. Key capabilities must include visibility of all security elements and the communications these systems and devices generate and, even more importantly, automation of operations and response. With the current cybersecurity skills gap that many enterprises experience today, the ability to quickly and effectively audit, recommend and automatically fix the entire network security architecture is critical. Going beyond NGFW, 3rd generation cybersecurity technology addresses these new demands. Takeaways: • Technology evolution and innovation are exponentially expanding the attack surface. • To keep up, enterprises must take an architectural approach to network security that includes visibility and automation. • With limited resources, the ability to quickly and effectively audit, recommend and repair network security is crucial. • Threat intelligence, shared in real-time, between 3rd party products are required to meet the continuously changing landscape. **Graun's Bio:** Jason Graun is a Solutions Engineering Manager and a member of the Office of the CTO.

In addition to high-speed attacks, today’s most sophisticated threat-actors are playing a longer game – one that is silent and stealthy. Their objective is to disrupt operations, undermine trust, or simply learn trade secrets by going undetected inside networks. Digital environments are changing too. Increasing digitization, the surge of IoT devices, and the cloud mean that network boundaries are more porous than ever. Securing the perimeter simply isn’t possible. To defend against threats that are continually evolving, tomorrow’s cyber security must go beyond looking for yesterday’s attacker – it must find what it doesn’t know to look for. AI technologies have led to the emergence of self-learning, self-defending networks that achieve this – detecting and autonomously responding to in-progress attacks in real time. These cyber immune systems enable the security team to focus on high-value tasks, can counter even machine-speed threats, and work in all environments, including the cloud. In this session, learn about: • Navigating new types of cyber-threats, including weaponized AI • Overcoming the limitations of the legacy approaches to information security • Adopting an ‘immune system’ model for cyber security, powered by machine learning • The power of AI to fight back autonomously against in-progress attacks • Real-world cyber-threats thwarted by machine learning, including IoT hacks and stealthy insider threats **Walson's Bio:** Lauren Walson is a Manager at Darktrace, the world’s leading AI company for cyber defense.

Ransomware and other crypo attacks have caused, at a conservative estimate, some hundreds of millions of dollars. One critical defense of these types of attacks is to have backups, and to follow the 3-2-1 rule of backups (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 off-site) to ensure an air gap and data integrity. Data security does not stop at the network perimeter, it follows it all the way through its lifecycle. **Weise's Bio:** Clayton Weise is the Director of Cloud Services for Key Information Systems, where he is responsible for designing, architecting and implementing cloud solutions; managing production workloads; and employing cloud resources in disaster recovery, clustering and hybrid (cloud and on-premises) infrastructure solutions. **Puckett's Bio:** Harley has 30+ years experience in Storage and Data Protection, regularly presenting at client briefings and conferences.

This presentation takes its cues from the events of October 21, 1805. At the Battle of Trafalgar, British Admiral Horatio Nelson introduced a new identity-based stratagem for naval warfare that enabled his entire fleet—every ship, every sailor—to act instantly and independently in the pursuit of victory. The British Navy won a decisive victory, and naval warfare would never be the same. (Along with the retelling of this narrative, historical maps of the battle will be used to illustrate the tactics used.) **Kiser's Bio:** Mike Kiser is insecure. He has been this way since birth, despite holding a panoply of industry positions over the past 20 years—from Security Strategist to Security Analyst to Security Architect—that might imply otherwise.

He is currently in a long-term relationship with fine haberdashery, is a chronic chronoptimist (look it up), and delights in needlessly convoluted verbiage. He has been a speaker on topics ranging from identity governance to security analytics, network security, and various related privacy issues, and is the co-host of a podcast illuminating all things identity. He warmly embraces the notion that security is more of a state of mind than a destination. #### [1:00 pm - 2:00 pm Tech Theater 1 New Wi-Fi Technologies Explained - Design and Performance Expectations for 802.11ax and IoT Infrastructure Ryan McCaigue: Senior Systems Engineer – Ruckus Networks Sponsored by: Ruckus Networks](https://technologysummit.net/past_events/Arizona18.html#collapse-11) **Synopsis:** Review of current and future Wi-Fi performance capabilities beyond the marketing hype.
