9:15 am CST | Simplifying IT Complexity to Improve Security and Reduce Risk
Between increasingly hybrid workplaces, innovative emerging technologies, and growing needs for technology to better support business operations, most enterprises have seen their IT infrastructure dramatically expand – oftentimes without even knowing it. Some studies have noted that shadow IT grew by 59% during the pandemic, while Gartner predicted that 30% to 40% of all IT spending in an enterprise goes to shadow IT. All this drives IT complexity, making it difficult for IT and security operations teams to have the visibility they need to manage and protect the enterprise.
In this fireside chat, Syxsense CEO, Ashley Leonard, will share his thoughts on the thorny subject of complex environments, why this is a challenge for so many enterprises, and what approaches can be taken to help reduce risk, improve security, and drive productivity.
