Panel Overview: Selling
Security as a Business Enabler
Not only are your customers'
CISOs battling a skills shortage, they're fighting for budget and must
make the case that it's smarter to spend on security (read: cost center)
than a shiny new digital marketing initiative. Unless a company has been
burned, that's a tough sell. This session will provide tips to translate
security technology to the language of business enablement.
When: Wednesday, March 16; 2:00-2:45 p.m.
Where:
Channel Partners Conference 2016 | Level 1, Galileo 901
Panel Overview: THE
BIG STAGE EVENT: Security & The Channel: Predictions & Possibilities
A
panel of top security experts will share their outlook on the threat
landscape and how partners can add value by protecting the business. As
founder of a managed service provider that serviced casinos up and down
the strip, and now president of Effortless Office, moderator Benjamin
Gayheart knows the Las Vegas gambling industry inside and out. He’ll
work with panelists to calculate the odds of an attacker running the
table on customers.
When: Wednesday, March 16; 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Where:
Channel Partners Conference 2016 | Level 2, Hall B, Booth #568
Panel Overview: Defining
the Practice: IoT
If you wait for the Internet of Things to
go mainstream, you'll be way behind the curve because there's a lot to
get your arms around — think connectivity, physical and cybersecurity,
data analytics, storage, management and automation, and application
enablement. This session will offer guidance for partners looking to
develop IoT practices.
When: Thursday, March 17; 10:35-11:20 a.m.
Where:
Channel Partners Conference 2016 | Level 1, Marco Polo 701
