Title of Event: Creating Zero Trust with Allowlisting and Ringfencing

Event Summary:

Join us at Charley’s as we break down how allowlisting and ringfencing can help organizations move beyond reactive security and build a true Zero Trust framework.

In a landscape where even a small gap in ransomware protection can have major consequences, this session will highlight how to reduce risk by controlling what runs in your environment, limiting lateral movement, and minimizing alert fatigue. We will also touch on modern challenges like securing AI systems and navigating implementation hurdles, giving you a practical path to better protect critical assets.

We will also feature Zscaler and Tanium, two leading cybersecurity platforms that work together to strengthen enterprise security by combining zero trust access with real time endpoint visibility and control, enabling organizations to securely connect users to applications while continuously monitoring, detecting, and responding to threats across their entire environment at scale.
