Adaptive Defense: Reinventing Network Security for Cloud-Era Infrastructure

Traditional perimeter defenses can’t protect today’s distributed, encrypted, and hybrid networks. Teams need deeper visibility, automation, and microsegmentation to contain modern threats.

The Network Security eSummit dives into innovations in network detection and response (NDR), zero-trust segmentation, and secure access service edge (SASE). Experts will unpack how AI and automation can simplify network protection while enabling secure connectivity across users, data, and devices.

Agenda

The Official Cybersecurity Summit delivers high-impact sessions designed to help leaders strengthen resilience, protect critical infrastructure, and align security with business goals.

Attendees will gain actionable insights from expert panels, explore cutting-edge solutions, and connect directly with top industry innovators - making this a can’t-miss agenda for CISOs and security executives.

11:35-12:20
Panel 1: Seeing Through Encryption: Modern Network Visibility and NDR That Works in Hybrid Environments

As traffic shifts to SaaS and cloud and encryption becomes the norm, traditional network tooling often loses context right when defenders need it most. This panel explores how to achieve actionable visibility in hybrid environments using modern NDR approaches: metadata-based detection, behavioral analytics, cloud flow logs, endpoint-network correlation, and practical strategies for east-west monitoring. Panelists will discuss realistic detection use cases (lateral movement, C2, data exfil), integration with SOC workflows, and how to build confidence in detections without drowning in noise.


12:20-12:40
Lunch Break
12:40-1:25
Panel 2: Zero Trust Segmentation in Practice: From Flat Networks to Contained Blast Radius

Micro segmentation is often sold as a silver bullet—until implementation hits legacy apps, unclear dependencies, and operational risk. This panel focuses on deploying segmentation as a practical containment strategy: mapping dependencies, starting with high-value zones, enforcing least-privilege connectivity, and iterating safely with monitoring and policy testing. Panelists will share lessons learned on what to segment first, how to avoid outages, and how segmentation fits into incident response when containment speed matters.


1:35-2:20
Panel 3: SASE and Secure Connectivity: Unifying Access, Policy, and Protection Across Users and Data

SASE promises simplified networking and security—but real deployments must reconcile legacy connectivity, performance, policy consistency, and vendor sprawl. This panel explores how organizations are approaching SASE to enable secure access across remote users, branch offices, cloud workloads, and SaaS. Topics include consistent policy enforcement, identity-aware access, data protection, integration with existing network stacks, and how AI-driven automation can help teams manage complexity while improving protection.
