Endless alerts, too many tools, relentless attackers – we are exhausted. This interactive session with cyber veterans explores why traditional defenses fail and how attackers continue to win – and most importantly, how you can get your life back with automations that actually work. We’ll talk candidly about the daily challenges and then shift to zen: actionable ways to defend smarter, not harder, with a network that defends itself.
Toast marshmallows, not your career – join us to reclaim weekends around a campfire and peace of mind at the desk.
