Session 1: Why Users Can Do Whatever They Want, Regardless of Whether We Know It Or Not!

Presenter:
Brian Madden,Independent Industry Analyst and Blogger

If you're thinking to yourself, “This doesn’t happen at my company,” you're in for a rude awakening. If your users can't do what they want working with IT, they are more and more capable (and willing) to go around IT altogether.

In the first session of the day, Brian Madden leads a lively and energetic discussion of the following technologies that can help you regain control of your IT:

  • Desktop virtualization
  • VDI
  • Application virtualization
  • Client-based VMs

Session 2: How Do We "Solve" the Consumerization of IT?

Presenter:
Brian Madden,Independent Industry Analyst and Blogger

Does all this new technology mean that IT is in trouble? Not necessarily. But, it does mean that we have to change the way we approach certain things. We have to change the way we think about security and identity. We have to change the way we address user devices and user control. And there are a lot of technologies and techniques we need to assemble to comprehensively address these changes.

In this session, Brian will talk about how real companies are successfully using BYOC and BYOD programs. He'll look at how companies are using security controls, data loss prevention, desktop virtualization, and auditing to protect corporate data. And he'll talk about how companies are "giving up" on certain control and security issues while digging their heels in around other areas. Of course, he'll also look at how the cloud and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) apps are both helping and hurting us.
