About This Event

As cyber threats evolve in scale and sophistication, identity has become the new perimeter, and the foundation of a resilient security strategy.

This VIP executive dinner and fireside chat brings together security leaders for an in-depth conversation on how Zero Trust and unified identity can help defend against today’s most pressing threats. This is more than a discussion, it’s a chance to ask tough questions, and walk away with actionable insights for your security roadmap from industry leader Matt Hansen, Okta’s Field CSO & AWS executives.
