Live online conference. An open window into the conversations around the cloud prevailing in Asia-Pacific today.
Within a decade, the cloud has become the infrastructure of choice for many traditional enterprises; for startups, it is the default as all-cloud unicorns become the norm. The enterprise technology sector has a plethora of offerings for every conceivable workload and deployment model — from a custom-built legacy app on a hybrid cloud to containerised apps with data orchestrated across the multi-cloud.
Produced after extensive consultation with practitioners, the conference will bring together 100+ end-user and industry experts across two days to take stock of the industry and its capabilities. It will be an opportunity to share roadmaps towards cloud adoption, and strategies that drive unfettered innovation for developers, business leaders and enterprise customers.

Modern enterprise networks are diverse and often span multiple environments, each with its own unique requirements and standards. Securing each network ecosystem independently creates a challenge for consistent policy enforcement, transparency, and unified orchestration and response. In this session, you will learn interesting insights from the newly published Fortinet Cloud Security report 2021 and how a future-proof security architecture looks for the cloud-enabled enterprise.
10:45 AM - 11:25 AM
