DAY 1: Future of Work
The workplace has undergone a dramatic transition with a sudden shift to remote environments and new rising security threats from the inside. Seemingly overnight, the dynamic of how we engage and convert customers has changed. It’s rewriting the sales conversation, and it’s driving product adoption in new ways across an uncharted digital terrain.
Fortunately, companies don’t have to navigate the “new normal” alone as they strive to create a seamless, secure customer experience. On Day 1 of EXPLORE2020, Cisco thought leaders will join Cisco Investments’ top disruptive startups as they discuss the latest trends and emerging tech to help engage customers at all points along the customer journey while identifying and solving the most pressing security threats.

Panel 2: Securing the Future of Work: Combatting the Rapid Rise of Insider Threats
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a virtual playground for inside hackers motivated by financial hardship, pending layoffs, pay cuts, and reduced loyalty. With whole workforces moved to home-based operations, a rising number of hackers are using their intimate knowledge of networks and organizations to attack global enterprises, giving CISOs and VPs Security new challenges in identifying these unexpected security threats. In this enlightening panel discussion, leading cybersecurity experts Bret Hartman of Ofer Israeli, Illusive and Tom Hoffman of Flashpoint will provide security executives with cutting-edge tech solutions, including dark web data mining and deception detection technology, to help them identify and protect their organizations from today’s newly emboldened malicious insiders.
