Security Sneak Peek at Cisco Live US 2016

If you’re interested in cybersecurity (and really, who isn’t these days?), you have a lot to look forward to at Cisco Live US. Digital Business Transformation will be in the spotlight this year and our world-class experts will be sharing how security acts as a fundamental enabler of that transformation.

We’re offering more than 200 security-focused technical sessions, an Innovation Talk, hands-on demos and a whole lot more. Here’s a collection of highlights:

Opening Keynote: Accelerating Digital Transformation

Monday, July 11 at 10:30AM

While not specific to security, the opening keynote is never one to miss. Chuck Robbins will outline how winning in digital requires a fundamental expansion of the role of IT and the network, and how Cisco’s vision and strategy will help you lead your organization forward.

Innovation Talk: Security in a Digital World

Tuesday, Jul 12, 9:00 a.m. | Bayside A, Level 1

This talk will address the evolving role of security in digital environments. Leaders in Cisco’s security engineering, product management and services organizations will discuss new ways to secure your business in a digital world, including key architectural approaches that you can take to protect your business both today and enable it for growth and innovation moving forward.

Pervasive Security – Securely Connecting Everything

Wednesday, July 13, 11 a.m. | MGMCC Connections Theater, Grand Ballroom

During this session, Steve Martino from Cisco’s Security & Trust Organization will discuss the security challenges created by the Digital Economy and how Cisco is protecting itself. He will also share best practices for how organizations should build out their own strategy for securing their organizations.
