About This Event
Every location is a network edge, a security perimeter and a support ticket. The question is who should own each piece.
Join peers and technology experts for a candid discussion spanning circuits and branch infrastructure, secure access, and AI security and governance. Over dinner we compare approaches through a real-world multi-location scenario — and explore the tradeoffs in control, cost, staffing, resilience and accountability.
The conversation follows the stack from the circuit at the curb to the AI tools your people use every day:
Circuits & Branch Infrastructure — connectivity, SD-WAN and the physical footprint that has to stay up at every site, and what it really costs to run.
Secure Access — protecting users, devices and applications wherever they connect, without adding friction or another console to watch.
AI Security & Governance — putting guardrails around AI adoption: data exposure, acceptable use and who is accountable when something goes wrong.
The questions on the table: Where does an integrated platform simplify operations? When do specialized solutions justify the added complexity? What should your team own, co-manage or hand off?
A peer conversation, not a sales pitch. Bring the hard questions from your own environment — the scenario is built to surface them.
