In this panel discussion we will address the challenges IT teams face as a result of siloed, inefficient point tool approaches to administering and enforcing security and compliance policy across hybrid IT infrastructures.
Our panel will discuss how to close the gaps of protection and apply controls in a systemic manner by centralizing management through a holistic approach, as well as how to simplify management and enhance alignment between the security team responsible for defining security policy and the operations team charged with implementing that policy.
Attendees will learn how to enable a holistic approach to risk management and compliance; a single view to the most important security and compliance elements across the entire IT environment.
Moderator: Brandon Dunlap Panelists: Chris McCLean, Prashanth Shetty, and Robert Capinjola.
