The Technology Collaborative is your chance to gain insights into Microsoft Azure, Zero Trust Network Access, and best practices on Cybersecurity and AI within your organization. This will be a great opportunity to come together for an open forum discussion to gain a better understanding on these topics, share stories and lessons learned, and leave with a better understanding on how you can improve, optimize, and secure your organization.

Agenda:

10:30 am - Doors open

11:00 - 11:05 - HBS Introduction

11:05 - 12:00 - Session 1 - Azure & Zero Trust: With so many cloud solutions available and just as many factors to consider, making decisions to achieve your business goals can be overwhelming if you don’t have a knowledgeable partner to guide you. We will share key security architecture, disaster recovery, business productivity insights, cost management, and licensing features.  Further learn where Azure covers hybrid cloud roles & responsibilities from IaaS to SaaS, including options for Azure Stack HCI – especially around today’s uncertainty with Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware.  We will cover some options for “quick wins” that can help introduce your organization to Azure and provide immediate benefits.  You’ll leave with a better understanding of Microsoft cloud solutions that you can leverage to help your organization reach its full potential.

12:00 - 12:30 - Lunch - enjoy a delicious meal from Biaggi's and network with colleagues

12:30 - 3:00 -  Session 3: Cybersecurity & AI: In this open floor discussion we will deep dive into the crucial role a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy plays in safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining the integrity of systems within your organization.
