ABOUT THIS EVENT

THE PROBLEM

When security takes a detour, you pay the toll.

Your workloads run on AWS. Your security runs outside it. Deploying it, managing it and fitting it into your architecture creates complexity, and that complexity makes it hard to run at scale.

  • Tunnels. Overlay tunnels just to reach your security.

  • Colos. Branch traffic hauled to a colocation facility before it goes anywhere.

  • Connectors. Software in every network, and your team keeps it alive.

  • Tickets. A queue for every change while the business waits.

Then there’s the traffic moving between your VPCs, internet and EC2 instances. Is anyone watching?

And, the policy that gets written twice, by two teams, who don’t always agree.

WHAT YOU’LL HEAR

What you hear here, the public hears later.

  • A first look. What AWS and Netskope are announcing at re:Invent, before they announce it broadly.

  • Straight from production. What we learned running it with customers, told by the people who did the work.

  • Real answers. Your toughest questions on inserting security and policy engine integration.

Security that runs inside your AWS network.

Here’s what AWS customers tell us they need, and what we’ll work through in the room.

  • Add it without the rebuild. Put security into the AWS network you already run, without ripping it up. What does that take?

  • See all of it. Know what’s moving between your VPCs and EC2 instances, not just what’s heading to the internet. Who can see it today?

  • Stop writing policy twice. Policy that doesn’t live in two places, owned by two teams. Who writes it, who enforces it, and where does it live?

Bring one flow, path or policy you can’t see or control today. We’ll work on it together.

WHY NOW

  • Announced at re:Invent. Already running in production.

  • AWS and Netskope will announce it to the world at re:Invent. You hear it here first.

  • Other sessions show you a roadmap. This one shows you what we’ve already run with beta customers, what it taught us, and what it means for you from day one.

WHY ATTEND
