      Where the buck stops: Why a shared responsibility model will help you own your cloud security flaws

      Deskflix Hybrid and Multi Cloud

      One of the most powerful tools for breaking down silos and integrating resources is cloud computing. But multi-tenancy cloud is not the ideal environment for every application or every class of data and some will need to remain on-prem for the foreseeable future; nor are all clouds equal. Tune in to Deskflix season 1 to hear industry experts speak on the questions you need answered on hybrid and multi cloud.

We have now announced the shortlisted entries for the very first Women in IT Excellence awards.

There can be no disputing that the IT industry is less-than-equally balanced between genders, despite the work being done by many companies. That conversation, though, sometimes overpowers the news of the truly incredible women that are already working in the industry.

From executives to innovators and IT leaders to outstanding returners, we believe that the best way to inspire the next generation is to show them the remarkable women that are breaking ground in the digital world.

The awards will take place at the Montcalm London Marble Arch on the 1st November. Table packages, individual seat deals and sponsorship opportunities are now available.
