In today’s technology-dependent world, the importance of Cyber Security continues to come to the forefront. Cyber attacks are a threat at all levels, from individuals, to government agencies, to businesses of all sizes and industries. At NC TECH’s 2019 State of Technology Conference, we will explore Cyber Security and how it impacts all facets of our lives, and look to future trends and how we can prepare ourselves.

More than 600 security, IT and business leaders from across sectors and functional roles will gather May 10 at our flagship tech conference for a day of engaging keynotes, interactive panel discussions, a fast paced pitch competition from tech startups and an exhibit showcase. A pre-conference reception will be held the evening prior, on May 9.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS

STARTUP SHOWCASE

NC TECH will incorporate a STARTUP SHOWCASE by selecting 6 tech startup companies with innovative security technologies to present on stage. Selected companies will be given a 5 minute timeslot to present to general attendance, 2 complimentary registrations, exhibit space and lots of visibility leading up to the event. Event attendees will vote to select one startup to win a prize package consisting of cash and in-kind services.

Date and Time

Join us for the first of our Thursday Tech Talk series with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, we have a friend from Mist joining us to talk about returning safely to work with contact and proximity tracing inside the organization, how it’s different than the public-private app partnerships, and then we’ll hop over to a demo of Mist’s AI-based Wi-Fi, show you what’s going on in our office, and offer a sneak peek at some upcoming news.

From the team that’s brought you successful NAC implementations for over 15 years! Join us for the second Tech Talk episode with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, Mark and Jen (and Ron if we can coax him) will cover:

• a vendor-neutral look at planning for NAC
• best and common practices plus “gotchas”
• phased approaches for implementing NAC
• vendor comparisons
• a short intro to FortiNAC including a demo
• updates on the product roadmap (at least whatever we can share that’s not NDA).

In future Tech Talks we’ll be covering Aruba’s ClearPass, and vendor-neutral topics of dynamic segmentation and Zero Trust Network architectures. This first NAC session will lay some groundwork for later.

In our third shorter episode, we’ll take a vendor-neutral look at the Wi-Fi technology and trends shaping today and tomorrow. Join Shital and Jen for the latest trends in WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 6e, cloud-managed solutions, security integrations, CBRS, and more. We’ll talk about what’s real, what’s hype, and how to start planning for what’s on the horizon. Since it’s a shorter session we’ll try to manage Q&A throughout. Hosted by Jennifer Minella.

• 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6, features and how/when to upgrade
• Update on wired needs for Wi-Fi
• New security standards, WPA3, Open Enhanced, and SAE
• On the horizon Wi-Fi 6e and what you should know
• Non-Wi-Fi wireless, CBRS and Private LTE moving in
• The real scoop on BLE, Location Services, and Contact/Proximity Tracing
• Today’s hot topic- MAC randomization, impact on guest portals, BYOD, and NAC; what behavior OS’s have, and how to work around it
• COVID and Wi-Fi, supporting expansions, pop-ups and more
• What’s new from our partners- Aruba’s announcements of AOS 10, Fortinet and the future of legacy Meru controllers, what’s cooking at Mist

Yes, you read correctly, join Carolina Advanced Digital and SentinelOne and get a $50 Amazon card just for listening in.

Join Tech Talk episode 4 with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, Jen along with Dan and Mark (or whoever she can grab) will take a look back at the chaos of COVID-19 as organizations scrambled to work through remote access and the cleanup we need to do afterwards. Hosted by Jennifer Minella.

When it comes to securing an organization’s network infrastructure, there are so many questions to answer.

How secure is your Wi-Fi? How up to date is your security knowledge? Is my organization at risk?

Join Juniper Networks’ technical experts and Jennifer Minella, VP of Engineering & Security, at Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc. as they discuss security essentials every Wi-Fi engineer should know and unravel:

• What are the network security essentials every Wi-Fi pro should know?
• How can you prevent Wi-Fi network breaches?
• What are the Top 5 Wi-Fi attacks from pen testers?

We’ll also host a 15-minute panel between Jen and Juniper experts to discuss WPA3, the latest in Wi-Fi security.

• What is WPA3 and where is it today?
• When should I adopt WPA3 and what are the caveats?
