Finding the Hybrid Collaboration Balance

Presented by: Paul Robichaux

Enterprise collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Slack enabled enterprises to shift to a mostly-remote model during the COVID-19 pandemic—but now we’re starting to move into a post-pandemic world where business, social, and economic imperatives are starting to push us back towards a hybrid of in-person and remote working. In this session, we’ll look at how Microsoft is shifting their Office 365 platform to better enable hybrid work and what new challenges we’ll face in management, security, operations, and adoption. Attendees will learn how to improve the security, usability, and flexibility of their hybrid workforce using these new enhancements along with field-proven tips.

The COVID-19 Conundrum: Deep Dive into Cloud Threats
Presented by: Matt Chiodi, CSO, Public Cloud, Palo Alto Networks

Utilizing real world (not honey pot) data pulled from our global array of sensors, Unit42 elite cloud threat researchers analyze the cloud security impact and opportunity forged by the COVID-19 global pandemic. The correlation between the increased cloud spend due to COVID-19 and security incidents lead to the conclusion that rapid cloud scale and complexity without automated security controls embedded across the entire development pipeline are a toxic combination.

Join Matt Chiodi, CSO, Public Cloud at Palo Alto Networks to discuss the findings of the research, what the impact might be to your business, and our key recommendations about what actionable steps you can take to reduce the security risks associated with your cloud workloads.
