  • Mitigating Cyber Threats with Zero Trust
    • Rick Gouin, Winslow Technology Group Chief Technology Officer
  • DESCRIPTION:
    • Over the last two years, WTG has assisted numerous businesses with recovering from cyber attacks. In this discussion, we will draw on that experience to focus in on the most common attack vectors, recovery methods, and mitigation techniques gleaned from multiple real-life incident response activities. In this session, we will take you beyond theory and instead focus on firsthand experience gained during actual customer breaches.

Matt will explain how WTG NorthstarMS provides organizations of all shapes and sizes an affordable support and management solution, helping to reduce risk, increase efficiency, and provide peace of mind for executives and IT teams alike. In addition to learning about the core offering, you’ll hear from one of our customers about their experience with WTG NorthstarMS. Matt will then “pop the hood” on our vNOC with a brief demonstration of how we monitor systems, show a sample of report cards we produce, and explain how we uniquely use Email alerts as a common denominator for incident identification and event coalescing.

3:30 pm – 4:15 pm

  • Defense in Depth: Perspectives from Arctic Wolf, Commvault, and Zscaler
    • Rick Gouin, Winslow Technology Group Chief Technology Officer
    • Brandon Tschida, Arctic Wolf RVP – Sales Engineering
    • Kash Ansari, Commvault Senior Director, Sales Engineering
    • Paul Azzi, Zscaler Partner Consulting Engineer
  • DESCRIPTION:
    • Defense in depth existed as a military strategy long before it was adopted by information security practitioners. When we think of defense in depth in an IT context, we are generally thinking about a layered defense. We don’t just secure the perimeter and then assume that everything inside is safe. A good defense in depth strategy secures the perimeter, but has additional defenses layered throughout the infrastructure. During this session, we will discuss overall defense strategies to protect your organization and help improve your security posture.

4:20 pm – 5:05 pm:

  • Voice of the Customer: Architecting the Modern Data Center
    • Greg Swain, Winslow Technology Group Director of Solutions Architecture
    • Jonathan Ruger, Sr. Infrastructure Engineer
    • Plamen Dimitrov, Director of Information Technology at Kiawah Island Golf Resort

DESCRIPTION: In this Voice of the Customer session, two customers will present their different approaches for architecting and constructing a modern data center. The interactive session will focus on topics including data center design, next-generation storage, hyper-converged infrastructure, hybrid cloud, and cybersecurity. We will also ask the audience for feedback on current IT infrastructure trends that they are interested in.
