Hybrid Mesh Firewall: A Unified approach to securing hyper-distributed environments of the future
6:00 - 8:30PM CET | Copenhagen, Denmark
Event Overview
Achieving visibility of data held in workloads on premise, in public and private clouds, containerized workloads such as kubernetes, as well as Apps, including SaaS is the starting point to securing that data.
Unfortunately, we often don’t know what data we have, where it is located, what workload it relates to, or who has access to it, which limits our ability to prioritize where we implement controls.
In this closed-door roundtable we will discuss delivering real micro-segmentation using practical controls, aligning security policy across hybrid environments and legacy systems without adding friction, including explaining the role of hybrid mesh firewalls in achieving these aims. This includes how we secure the expanded threat landscape of AI implementations, including Agentic AI identities.
Discussion topics will include:
- Pain points in achieving visibility across hybrid and containerized workloads and how we overcome them.
- Macro to micro and even nano-segmentation, what’s appropriate for you on your maturity journey, and does your starting point matter?
- What hybrid mesh firewalls can deliver to address legacy systems and tool fragmentation.
- Tackling the evolving attack surface of AI infrastructure
- How to secure Agentic AI identities.
