What will we discuss?
Workplace modernisation requires adapting to a much-expanded hybrid workforce. The surge in remote/hybrid work presents plenty of IT and security challenges, hastily addressed during the pandemic. The focus has now shifted from temporary fixes to strategic, scalable, and high-performing solutions as part of broader digital transformation efforts.
In this Networking dinner organized by NTT Data and Palo Alto Networks, our experts will delve into security innovations centered around Prisma SASE and how it can enable better security outcomes and business transformation. Attendees will discover how a unified SASE architecture, built on a platform and employing an AI-first approach, can effectively safeguard against the constantly evolving threat landscape. Together, we will explore how automation of IT operations through AI and ML-powered threat prevention technologies can enhance security efficacy, reduce complexity, and significantly improve ROI.
This Roundtable will feature discussions on the following key topics:
- Workplace Modernisation: Ensuring security from and to Anywhere – to face the AI-powered future
- Digital Operations: AIOps to drive a secured and seamless Digital Experience
- Secured Connectivity: Addressing branch remote office security, cloud security, improved visibility, and browser security for unmanaged devices
