The Summit is where theory and practice converge. This is the only place you will be able to discuss the newest, most important strategies driving the security industry, then see examples of real organizations implementing those strategies in our Breakout Sessions. These Breakout Sessions typically take the form of a Case Study where an industry leading organization will discuss how they implemented the strategies and ideas from our main stage presentation to create real life solutions.

Several of our Sponsors prepared virtual breakout sessions that were broadcast over the web the day of the Summit. If you would like to view those case studies, please click here.
