Rapidly evolving network and security strategies are driving the hyper-convergence of these technology domains. Successful organizations are leveraging convergence for more survivable, lower cost networking, more efficient security workflows with faster time to respond which is reducing organizational risk. Further, employee and customer experience is preserved through the optimized distribution and accessibility of applications which is driving better business outcomes. These kinds of network and security transformation come with plenty of challenges in managing top-to-bottom delivery of network, application, and platform services. Challenges include coordinating disparate underlay and overlay networks, which are both physical and virtual. Leveraging security-as-code to deliver automated scale for the SOC, and provide non-gating workflows to application teams and end consumers as network and application constructs are increasingly ephemeral. Fortinet’s panel of experts have lead their organizations through just these transformations and will share their experience to navigate toward successful outcomes of network and security modernization. Topics will include hybrid cloud adoption, security workflow automation, the adoption and security of AI, among other top of mind issues for the CIO/CTO/CISO.
