11:30am – 12:30pm: It’s Time to Rethink Network Security for Cloud

 

Jeff Duke, Solutions Engineer, Aviatrix

 

Cloud architects, CIOs and CISOs will learn how their peers are reducing the complexity and costs of network security in the cloud. We will show exactly how enterprises are saving tens of thousands to millions of dollars annually by removing expensive licenses, compute, cloud data processing costs tied to using “Last Generation Firewall” architecture in the cloud. In addition to cost benefits, find out how the convergence of cloud networking and security brings policy inspection and enforcement into the natural path of traffic to improve performance, strengthen compliance, boost cyber resiliency, and accelerate cloud infrastructure automation projects.
