We are officially less than two weeks away from Cybersecurity Insights! The event, of course virtual, is scheduled for May 12th, 9-10 AM PST. It will be hosted by VMware COO, Sanjay Poonen, and he will be joined by security experts from Netflix DVD, Comcast, Circle K, and Forrester to discuss why it is paramount for organizations to implement security as an intrinsic component of their environment.
