Internet of Things devices are built with cost & convenience in mind, not security. This makes them easy targets for cybercriminals looking to exploit their vulnerabilities and infiltrate your systems. With IoT adoption on the rise, organizations are looking for ways to improve security at all levels and limit the damage IoT-powered cyber attacks can cause. The stakes are even higher for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Join this interactive Q&A panel with top security experts across the ecosystem to learn more about:
– IoT as a gateway to your systems
– Key factors for building a successful security strategy encompassing the IoT & IIoT
– Threats targeting the IoT / IIoT
– Industrial threat detection and response
– Recommendations for improving security

Speakers:
– Mark Weatherford, Chief Cybersecurity Strategist, vArmour
– Robert M. Lee, CEO, Dragos
– Jennifer Minella, VP of Engineering and Security, Carolina Advanced Digital

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.
