Dell’Oro Group and SDxCentral launch virtual event

Dell’Oro Group is pleased to announce our first virtual event in partnership with SDxCentral and titled ‘Security in the Cloud-First Era’. The two-day event will be held on October 11th and 12th and is free to attend.

“The first day will be dedicated to discussing the current state of SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). The discussion will seek to clarify what technologies are part of SASE and compare them against SD-WAN and SSE (Security Service Edge) solutions,” said Mauricio Sanchez, Research Director at Dell’Oro and event co-host. “While SD-WAN is well understood in the market, SSE is an emerging term for cloud-based security solutions that span ZTNA, SWG, and CASB capabilities.”

The second day will focus on Cloud Workload Security, including the threat landscape and the multi-disciplinary approach to securing cloud workloads. The discussion will explore the various techniques and decipher the emerging solutions, such as CNAPP, CSPM, and CWPP. Speakers from the industry’s top companies will present and debate, including event sponsors Aryaka, Cisco, Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, and VMware.

“The security implications are enormous in the brave new post-pandemic world of distributed work and applications,” said Sanchez. “Our goal is to enlighten and enable enterprises to make the right choices.”

“Today, many enterprises are recasting their internal, on-prem enterprise apps into modern, container-based workloads that live in public clouds. The security implications of this trend are enormous,” said Elizabeth Coyne, Managing Director at SDxCentral and event co-host. “Our event keynotes and panelists will be highlighting the security and networking deficiencies in the classic hub-and-spoke enterprise networking model, and discussing what enterprises need to be focusing on when moving their operations to the cloud.”
