As organizations undergo their cloud transformation, they must rethink their approach across people, process and technology to achieve the benefits that cloud technology brings.  Simply to iterate on what has been done in the cloud or in the datacenter will either fail or gain very little benefit.  Instead, building a cloud operating model provides a big picture of what the future may look like across Business and IT domains.  By defining how business and IT align their capabilities, processes and workforce to reach strategic business outcomes sets both the business as well as IT up for greater success and promotes a sense of purpose.

CIO Roundtable:  The Future-State Operating Model of Cloud

Organizations of all sizes must embrace IT transformation and evolution to stay competitive and survive.  HCI creates an opportunity for IT infrastructure teams to become more efficient, reduce operational costs, and decrease the amount of staff deployment time, while modernizing and automating your IT infrastructure. 

Trace3 and Dell Technologies do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to HCI. We recognize that you will have different preferences based on your current infrastructure, IT staff, and operational model. So, we’ve created a portfolio that allows you to address a wide range of needs and requirements based on those preferences.

Attend this webinar and learn about:
•How HCI systems deliver maximum scalability and business agility. 
•Systems that are the easy and offer faster ways to deploy Infrastructure-as-a-Service and private cloud architectures
•How to unlock innovation and foster operational freedom and predictably.

The world as we know it continues to change, and the way we use to live, work and play continues to evolve. Houman will share highlights from their thesis areas and investments solving un-met needs in the enterprise. He will provide an overview of several trends driving adoption of transformative and disruptive companies that Menlo Ventures is investing in.

Remote Working Disruption with Scalable Enterprise Automation

Enterprises are challenged with how to support employees and customers across service organizations like IT, HR, Cloud/DevOps, and Customer Service. To digitally accelerate a remote workforce, AI automation has become critical to delivering self-service while maintaining business growth through challenging times. New AI technologies such as Conversational AI, Cognitive AI Search, and AI-driven RPA are now providing consumer-like service experience. By automating service desk tasks, requests, and services, businesses can auto-resolve user requests and improve employee productivity, as well as boost overall employee and customer experience.

Disruptive Technologies Addressing Unmet Needs in the Enterprise

Shepherding Digital Transformation in a Post-Covid World:
Post Covid-19, digital transformation is accelerating across every industry. When employees are empowered by consumerization and developers are driving adoption of open source tools, IT has a choice - slide into irrelevance or secure their role in shepherding the corporate digital landscape. Dharmesh dives into the history of how we got here and where innovation is taking place across the enterprise ecosystem, with some insights about how the Covid-19 crisis is actually aiding some innovative tech companies.

Bringing Ordr To Address The Explosive Growth In Unmanaged and IoT Devices:
In this session, veteran IT Industry Leader, Greg Murphy, CEO of Ordr, Inc, will speak to the rapid growth of unmanaged and IoT Devices across enterprise networks. These devices can’t be secured or managed like normal desktops, laptops and servers, typically cannot be patched or taken out of service. Threat actors have recognized this challenge and are actively targeting this new “endpoint”.
Ordr, the leader in enterprise IoT and unmanaged devices, has built industry’s first AI platform to discover and secure unmanaged and IoT devices. First, Ordr starts with high fidelity visibility and classification of IoT devices. Next, Ordr’s Flow Genome maps each device’s unique, communications patterns and profiles exactly how it should communicate and behave. Then Ordr proactively creates Zero Trust segmentation policies and enforces them on networking and security infrastructure to only allow these “sanctioned communications.”
All of this is done in an agentless and automated fashion. Ordr is deployed and proven in some of the largest and most complex IoT environments in the world today.

Shepherding Digital Transformation in a Post-Covid World

How can the cybersecurity industry marry the unparalleled concentration of technical talent in Israel with the burning business needs of enterprise customers? As a US-based seed stage investor in Israeli cybersecurity, John will share where he is spending most of his time and where there is strong overlap of customer need and entrepreneurial talent in trending areas of cybersecurity. He will also talk about how YL Ventures aims to bring value to both the Israeli & U.S. cybersecurity ecosystems through its concentrated style of investing and its hands-on customer-centric approach to the market.

Managing the IT security posture for on-prem networks is an unstable three-legged stool consisting of:

The breadth of asset coverage
The depth of insights into each asset
The friction in deploying tools to accomplish the above
We take it for granted that stabilizing one leg of the stool comes at the sacrifice of one or more of the others.
Does the same equation hold true to cloud environments? Yes, but only if we carry our biases from the physical world. If we simply adapt on-prem security approaches to the cloud then we’ve failed to extract the capabilities of the cloud.
Utilizing its patent-pending SideScanning™ technology, Orca provides workload-level security for AWS, Azure, and GCP without the gaps in coverage and operational friction of agents and network scanners. After an instant-on, read-only, and impact-free integration to the cloud provider, Orca detects vulnerabilities, malware, misconfigurations, lateral movement risk, weak and leaked passwords, and unsecured high-risk data － then prioritizes risk based on environmental context.
