Unified Security in a Connected World
May 14, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST
Security has become a coordination problem as much as a protection problem. Most organizations aren’t lacking tools, they’re dealing with overlap, blind spots, and inconsistent enforcement across network, cloud, endpoint, and edge environments.
This discussion brings together peers to break down where that fragmentation is creating real risk, how teams are simplifying architecture without losing control, and where automation is actually improving response versus adding noise. With perspective from Cisco, the group will also explore how more unified, AI-driven platforms are helping connect security workflows across environments in a way that’s practical to manage.
Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of where consolidation makes sense, how to approach zero trust in a way that holds up in practice, and what it takes to make security operations more consistent across the business.
BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises & Cisco invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.
As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.
