In this session, Neil Fagan, CTO National Security at CISCO, focuses on securing the journey to the cloud and within the cloud. Starting with some of the key themes and trends in networking and cyber security, Neil will then follow up with explaining and discussing software defined networking (SDN) and its applicability within the cloud journey. Finally, the session will conclude with key points on building a consistent operational model, moving to a predictive environment, and moving from a threat centric to zero trust environment and then into continuous authentication and a broader "SASE" (secure access service edge) architecture.
