Cybersecurity Considerations for Cloud Migration:

Weighing the Risks and Benefits

Roundtable 1
Securing Data from Modern Cyber Threats

As the importance of our data continues to grow, so do attacks. Threat Actors are getting in and targeting the data itself for ransom or exfiltration. In this multi-cloud world, we need to trust our data is safe, and resilient. A complete Zero Trust effort must include Security at the Point of the data. Please join Rubrik’s Sterling Wilson in a roundtable discussion around industry standards that help public sector organizations stay ahead of the next attack.

Adapting Infrastructure to Combat Cyber Threats

The public sector is acutely aware of ongoing cybersecurity vulnerabilities in their information technology environments. They must consider the technology that powers their infrastructure to be vulnerable to the same issues. Cyber threats do not become obsolete in the way that the technology underlying them does. Infrastructure should ensure that the steps taken to inject resilience into a system remain connected with the relevant threats of today and tomorrow. Whether replacing legacy systems, integrating new technologies, or expanding capabilities; designing your infrastructure to provide ease of integration and scalability, while maintaining security is key. Join a group of dedicated public sector leaders who have insight into that process; no matter at what stage of the Journey, they find themselves.
