Talk of unprecedented uncertainty, the new normal of ambiguity, and the unknown surround our leadership dialogue, but the hyper chatter around current industry and market conditions consistently misses the fundamental notion of uncertainty: whether it is good or bad depends on what you are trying to do, and how you are set up. Dr. Homkes will kick off our focused set of conversations by encouraging us to do just this: embrace uncertainty, prepare for the future rather than constantly planning for the downside, and build organizational and leadership capabilities around the constant resets uncertainty forces us to make. She will walk us through her proven approach to growth through any market condition and equip us with a powerful toolkit to leading our companies and teams on the journey.

Providing competent and capability-driven cybersecurity protection to the modern-day enterprise has become increasingly difficult, if not impossible by today’s protection standards. Adopting a prominent public cloud posture can be a force multiplier for any security apparatus if designed and architected properly. Join a discussion of this premise among some of the industry’s highest-profile technology leaders. Suppose the enterprise profile of the future is one composed largely of optimized hybrid environments. In that case, organizations need to weigh both value and the potential for risk reduction as they build roadmaps for the future.

Work has changed forever. And it’s changed for the better.
Anytime/anywhere productivity isn’t just possible; it’s popular and growing thanks to shifting social norms and cloud-first business strategies. As a result, a better and healthier flexible work schedule finally feels attainable.
The catch is that these ways of working come with more vulnerabilities, risks, and bad actors than ever before. And in many organizations, security hasn’t yet caught up to the aggressively-paced change in working styles. Going back isn’t an option, so we must come together to move security forward.
In this presentation, learn how Chrome Enterprise is evolving to provide new levels of proactive protection that complement today’s need for flexibility. It’s a look at where security is heading and where every business should be.
