Dinner for Vancouver IT Leaders

Zero Trust Approach to Security

Date

Thu, December 1, 2022

Time

5:00 PM - 9:00 PM PST

The cloud and remote work have removed traditional security boundaries. As the first line of defense of your technical environment, the responsibility rests squarely on your shoulders to prevent compromise, lateral movement of attacks, and data loss. A zero-trust approach to your overall security, where you challenge everything and trust nothing, is your most powerful secret weapon. In this discussion, you’ll have the opportunity to exchange views and strategies on adapting to digital transformation while embracing the latest technologies and trends.

Join Brett James, Director of Transformation Strategy of Zscaler, on December 1st, 2022 at 5:00 PM, as he shares his experiences and insights on implementing a zero-trust approach to security.
