Bitglass, the Total Cloud Security company, today announced the details surrounding its upcoming virtual event, SASEDay, to be held on July 14, 2021, from 8:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. PT.

WHAT: Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), an emerging concept coined by Gartner, is a cloud security architecture that provides comprehensive and consistent security across all enterprise resources. Enterprises are rapidly adopting SASE in the wake of continued migration to the cloud and an increasingly remote workforce, but the vision for SASE is often at odds with the practical realities when modernizing security.

This year’s SASEDay will convene cybersecurity experts to discuss insights and best practices for implementing a SASE model to achieve the objectives of their Zero Trust Digital Transformation initiatives. Presentation and panel topics will include SASE adoption strategies, Zero Trust perspectives and digital transformation objectives. They include:

  • Is BYOD the Final Mile to Digital Transformation Success?

    • 8:15 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. PT
    • Holger Schulze, Founder & CEO, Cybersecurity Insiders
    • In this session, Cybersecurity Insiders founder Holger Schulze discusses the upside opportunities that personal devices/BYOD will bring to their digital transformation initiatives.
  • Bridging the Gap Between Digital Transformation Objectives and Implementation: Practical Steps to SASE Implementation

    • 9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. PT
    • Evgeniy Kharam, VP, Herjavec Group
    • This session further discusses the “crawl, walk, run” approach to SASE adoption with answers to common questions from CIOs, CTOs and CISOs.
  • Better Together: Identity, Zero Trust and SASE

    • 10:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. PT

  • Keynote Panel: CIO and CISO Perspectives on Zero Trust Digital Transformation

    • 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. PT
