Accelerating the Evolution of Security Using a Converged Approach

Organizations are challenged to secure and manage a new kind of hybrid network. Not on-prem and cloud, but work in the office, from home, and anywhere. Expanding endpoints beyond your organization's perimeter in the outside world makes them ideal targets for cyber attackers. While traditional risk-scoring systems can create a sense of security, many fail to factor in endpoint data. During this discussion, we'll focus on one of the most significant challenges you face - endpoint devices, and how people and processes, coupled with endpoint and assert visibility, will provide you with best-of-breed solutions to manage today's threat landscape.

C-Vision laid out an articulate plan for us to be much more targeted, presented a stronger ROI and on top have come through with the Results they Promised.  They really have become an adjunct "team for hire" building trust with us all along the way.  There is no second guessing on this relationship and consistently over-deliver.  My kind of Partner.

I had the pleasure of joining the C-Vision International, Nordics CISO Council Roundtable with a wonderful group of cyber executives. We had a wonderful, insightful conversation and the whole experience was enjoyable. I made great new contacts and reconnected with existing contacts on really important topics that matter to CISO’s and all in cybersecurity. I’d highly recommend joining in any C-Vision event.

Our speakers were impressed with the format, and who they brought to the table. I can't recommend them enough and with so many out there, it is hard to find the right fit!
