Despite investments in security tools, many enterprises remain vulnerable due to implementation gaps, disconnected architectures, and overlooked privileged access controls. Organizations deploy numerous endpoint tools yet face tool sprawl, slow rollouts, and uncertain returns, while adversaries exploit elevated permissions to achieve their goals.

This session explores a security approach starting with an assume-breach mindset and prioritizing privileged access as the first defense layer. Learn how Privileged Access Workstations (PAWs) and Secure Admin Workstations (SAWs) operate in real-world settings, and how SHIELD (SHI Environment Lockdown & Defense) helps maximize Microsoft tools without overextending resources. Topics include:

· Why privileged vectors are key attack targets
· Implementing assume-breach architecture
· How SHIELD reduces attack surfaces with standardized frameworks

Watch to see how focusing on privilege control strengthens security while reducing complexity.

Rethinking enterprise security through privilege control and assume-breach architecture

Microsoft is making its biggest Enterprise Agreement (EA) licensing change in 20+ years. Starting November 1, 2025, waterfall discounts (Levels B–D) for Online Services will be removed under EA, MPSA, and OSPA. All Online Services SKUs will default to Level A pricing on Microsoft’s list price.

This impacts nearly every renewal. If Online Services aren’t already on your EA, they’ll be priced at Level A unless negotiated.

Join SHI’s Microsoft licensing experts for a session covering:
● What’s changing and why it matters
● How renewals and new purchases will be affected
● Steps to take now to avoid paying list price
● Negotiation tactics to secure discounts
● Real-world examples of savings achieved
● Live Q&A
 
Don’t wait. Acting now could mean the difference between paying list price and securing significant savings. Register Today!

From Surveillance to Research: Transforming Education with Dells Data-Driven Solutions

It was fairly recent history when supermarket food items had to be manually restamped each time the price increased, with clerks running up and down the aisles to do inventory. Paul McEnroe, creator of the barcode, remembers searching for cans with lower price tags from the back of the shelf when shopping for his mother.  

Now, barcodes are all around us, scanned ten billion times a day. On today’s episode, we dive into the fascinating story of its creation and the decades of innovation that changed retail and manufacturing around the world.  

In the 1960s, McEnroe hired seven engineers considered “harder to manage" for a start-up-like project at IBM to tackle applications at the periphery of computers. The team created the first commercial application of laser technology, the barcode scanner, and the magnetic code for Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) marking. McEnroe outlines how this technology vastly increased supermarket efficiency, despite initial pushback including picket lines at stores and new state laws. He also discusses the QR code, which he sees as an extension of the barcode.  

This episode is brought to you by SHI’s new generative AI briefings.

Charles “Chuck” Rinker wants people to be as addicted to their own health as some are to video games. He should know – he was the director behind EA Sports’ NCAA/Madden series. Now, as CEO and Founder of PRSONAS by nuMedia Innovations Inc, he’s bringing digital personalities to industries, such as the healthcare sector.  

Rinker discusses his career trajectory, starting out in cattle farming and then going on to Black Ops military simulation work. But his career pivoted after he and his wife battled three bouts of cancer between them. 

PRSONAS’s digital assistants can do tasks such as wayfinding, answering questions, and taking surveys, freeing up the time of healthcare workers and aiding in clinical trial recruitment. Rinker discusses how the technology was developed, with early advice from a Disney Imagineering SVP on avoiding the uncanny valley effect. Rinker outlines how they use GenAI, as well as the roles of UX and CX, and how the technology is being used now in an array of sectors, including airports, banks, and commercial markets.
