About the Event

The AWS Security Reference Architecture (AWS SRA) is a holistic set of guidelines for deploying the full complement of AWS security services in a multi-account environment. It can be relied upon to help design, implement, and manage AWS security services so that they align with industry accepted practices. The recommendations are built around a single-page architecture that includes AWS security services. In this session, learn about the AWS SRA and how you and your team’s might rely on the AWS SRA to design and secure your cloud hosted workloads. Also learn how they help achieve security objectives, where they can be best deployed and managed in your AWS accounts, and how they interact with other security services.

About the Event

The rapid scaling of quantum computers is approaching an inflection point, with profound implications for multiple industries. The business advantage is insurmountable in pharmaceutical, finance, energy, intelligence, and many other fields. It will separate the haves from the have-nots to become market leaders. The dark side is the impact to virtually all digital networks today, including all the cybersecurity tools used to protect modern enterprise and critical infrastructure. The issue is “harvest now, decrypt later” which enables the future exploitation of any data collected today and before a transition to post-quantum cryptography. However, there are powerful solutions and tools to begin preparing now.

"IT Security in the Hybrid World" w/ Randy Marchany

The hybrid work world has required us to change our security architectures to adapt to an environment where organizations have limited visibility to endpoints.

The era of corporate network boundaries is ending.

Streamed live for registered technology council members only via Zoom.

 

Time + Date

Monday, October 4, 2021 | 1:30 – 2:30 PM

Meet Gubernatorial Candidate Glenn Youngkin

Glenn Youngkin is a homegrown Virginian who grew up in Richmond and Virginia Beach. As his father changed jobs, Glenn learned that moving around didn’t equal moving up – nothing was handed to him. From his first job washing dishes and frying eggs at a diner in Virginia Beach, Glenn embraced hard work and responsibility to help his family when his father lost his job. His determination to succeed earned him multiple high school basketball honors in Virginia and an athletic scholarship to college.

 

After earning an engineering degree at Rice University, and his MBA at Harvard Business School, Glenn and his wife Suzanne moved to Northern Virginia. Glenn landed a job at The Carlyle Group, where he spent the next 25 years. Working his way to the top of the company, Glenn played a key role in building Carlyle into one of the leading investment firms in the world. His efforts have helped fund the retirements of teachers, police officers, firefighters and other frontline public servants and supported hundreds of thousands of American jobs. 

 

Married for 26 years to his amazing wife Suzanne, Glenn is a dedicated father of four wonderful children. Their family journey has been and continues to be guided by their faith.

 

From his life experiences, Glenn has developed the skills and character to lead Virginia with humility and courage. He has the know-how to get Virginia moving again and rebuild it into the best place to live, work and raise a family in America.
