Info: "Livin' on the Edge", "The Edge" of the network is having a bit of a moment. The network perimeter and pubic attack surface continue to evolve, and they're getting more complicated and harder to secure. Bad actors are taking advantage of all the weaknesses: Critical vulnerabilities, brute forcing VPNs, legacy remote access - the list goes on. We'll look at some of these challenges together, and present some simple, low- or no-cost ideas to reduce your network's public attack surface.

Info: "The Cost of Standing Still: Modernization as a Resilience Strategy" Technology is no longer something that simply supports the business. In many organizations, technology is the business. When it fails, customers feel it, employees feel it, revenue is threatened, and sometimes the organization’s ability to survive is put at risk.
I began my career before the internet was commonplace. Since then, I have watched technology transform how we work, connect, compete, and serve our customers. I have also seen what happens when organizations allow aging systems, fragile integrations, technical debt, and outdated recovery strategies to remain in place for too long.
Modernization is not just about chasing the newest technology. It is about building an organization capable of adapting, recovering, and continuing to operate when the unexpected happens.
In this session, we will look at how to identify the technology creating the greatest business risk, prioritize modernization based on criticality

Info: Join Extreme Networks for a seminar on the security benefits of Extreme Fabric. Attendees will get to witness a live demonstration of how inherent hyper-segmentation can reduce lateral movement during a cyber-attack.

Info: "The New Cyber Resilience Foundation: Automated and Intelligent Storage"
Storage is evolving from a passive backup target into an active layer of cyber defense. This presentation explores how automated, intelligent storage can help organizations detect threats, protect data through layered resilience, and recover quickly after an attack. It covers native anomaly detection, immutable snapshots, replication, security integrations, and orchestrated recovery—helping teams move from reactive backup toward faster, more confident cyber recovery.

Info: "Do More With Less: Building Resilience in the Age of AI and Constrained Budgets" Modern organizations run on technology. Aging systems and technical debt can turn disruption into a business-threatening event. Learn how strategic modernization strengthens resilience, improves recovery, and helps companies survive the unexpected.

Info: Organizations today are racing to secure distributed apps and data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, all while AI reshapes both the threat landscape and the tools available to defend against it. Ransomware remains one of the most disruptive threats a business can face, encrypting critical apps and data in minutes and putting recovery plans to the ultimate test against RPO and RTO targets.

This fully immersive, 2-hour workshop puts participants at the center of a live ransomware attack simulation. Participants step into the role of a C-level decision-maker in the "mission control" of a fictional state agency, working against the clock to limit critical impact as the attack unfolds. Guided by Cohesity's expert team, attendees will experience firsthand what it takes to protect data, detect threats, and rapidly recover a business from a ransomware attack.

Attendees will leave with a personalized Resilience Roadmap, a practical starting point for strengthening their organization

Info: "Recovering the Keys to the Kingdom: Automated Active Directory Forest Level Recovery with Commvault" Active Directory controls access to nearly every critical system. When ransomware, corruption or disaster takes it down, operations stop. Learn why AD is a top attack target and how to recover faster than manual forest recovery allows.
