    Technology has done wonders for productivity over the past 20 years, but cybercriminals have improved their own efficiency using the same tools. In just the past three years, attackers have cut the time needed to deploy ransomware from two months to under four days using automation and as-a-service technologies. Meanwhile, cybersecurity teams have never had more data to find patterns and stop attacks — yet the time to detect and respond is still measured in weeks, sometimes even months. How can we empower security leaders and their teams to use AI to respond in minutes or even seconds? Hear how leaders are using emerging innovations to close the time gap and inspire confidence as they move from reacting to anticipating.

    Quantum computers are maturing quickly. This paradigm shift in computing technology will bring immense business opportunity, but it also comes with a challenge: mature quantum computers will be able to break the two most widely used security protocols in the world. Data considered securely protected today is already lost to a future quantum adversary if stolen or harvested. All data – past, present, and future – that is not protected using quantum-safe security will be at risk. The longer that the migration to quantum safe standards is postponed, the more data remains at risk. Learn how to prepare today to protect your data tomorrow.

    Businesses are unable to use most of their data for analytics and AI. And it's about to get worse: the amount of stored data is expected to grow 300% by 2025. Data complexity is also multiplying with a variety of data applications and formats. To make use of this data, enterprises are constrained by performance and cost-inefficient cloud and on-premises data warehouses and lakes. Leaders must re-think ineffective, costly, and monolithic data architectures and streamline access across disparate data sources. In this session we will explore how data-driven enterprises are using a new data management solution to significantly reduce cost, simplify data access, and automate unified governance in order to scale analytics and AI.
