Useful Fiction: The Real World Power Of A Story Well Told

Speaker: Peter Singer

Session Description: How do we better share new ideas and influence target audiences? How do we better understand and prepare for the future? How do we comprehend new trends and technologies? One answer may be to enlist the power of the oldest communication technology of all –story. Described in the Wall Street Journal as “the premier futurist in the national-security environment,” P.W. Singer is a best-selling author of both nonfiction and fiction, whose work at the intersection of strategic foresight, discovery, and narrative has been featured in media like The Economist and Wired. Having worked for groups that range from the US military and CIA to Hollywood and the most popular video game in history, he will explain the “why” of narrative and “how” best to tell a useful story.

Simplifying IT Complexity to Improve Security and Reduce Risk

Speaker: Ashley Leonard, Syxsense Founder & CEO

Moderator: Mary Yang, Syxsense Chief Marketing Officer

Session Description: Between increasingly hybrid workplaces, innovative emerging technologies, and growing needs for technology to better support business operations, most enterprises have seen their IT infrastructure dramatically expand – oftentimes without even knowing it. Some studies have noted that shadow IT grew by 59% during the pandemic, while Gartner predicted that 30% to 40% of all IT spending in an enterprise goes to shadow IT. All this drives IT complexity, making it difficult for IT and security operations teams to have the visibility they need to manage and protect the enterprise.

In this fireside chat, Syxsense CEO, Ashley Leonard, will share his thoughts on the thorny subject of complex environments, why this is a challenge for so many enterprises, and what approaches can be taken to help reduce risk, improve security, and drive productivity.
