Strategy Your CISO will Love

Eric Kedrosky Sonrai Security

As security practitioners, we’re tasked with doing what’s best to secure our company. In the cloud, there’s no denying that identity plays an important role in security.

In this session, Eric Kedrosky, CISO and security practitioner for over a decade, will walk you through how to get your CISO onboard with focusing on identity (or really anything you care about).

ACCESS Summit FAQs

I registered before the agenda was released; do I need to register again?

Yes, by filling out the registration ahead of time, you were the first to receive the agenda release, but you still must register for the event. Not sure if you registered? To be safe, fill out the form again, and you’ll get a confirmation email with your custom link.

Is it free? Why?

Yes, registration is completely free. We believe identity, access, and permissions are often overlooked yet crucial to a more secure cloud. Why is it free? One of our presenters said it best, “I wish I had this kind of help in my career, so now I’m giving back and sharing what I know.”

What is ACCESS?

Don’t worry; ACCESS isn’t another acronym. We believe securing the cloud is all about controlling access; in the cloud, you have to manage identities and permissions for that to be possible. At this virtual summit, expect to learn about everything related to securing the cloud with a focus on identity, access, and permissions.

ACCESS is a virtual event scheduled for October 12th. Sessions will be accessible online from anywhere in the world.
