Announcing the Security Transformation Awards

[cwalker]

To achieve business performance and growth, all companies must find ways to meet consumer expectations and seize market opportunities. Businesses must create new products and services or evolve current products and services that consumers want to buy, that are fit-for-purpose, and that reach more consumers, in more locations, more quickly than ever before. 

In the current business environment:

• Speed is a currency—you have to do what you need to do more quickly
• Scale is a necessity—you must have to serve more end users in a way that works for them
• There’s a war for talent, and employers are (or must become) more flexible about work arrangements—work from anywhere is here to stay
• Supply chains are essential to create products—you unavoidably need global partners to achieve all of the above

Forward-thinking leaders are quickly figuring out how to deliver the capabilities that support these business changes. They’ve discovered that business goals cannot be accomplished without adopting technology, and that adopting technology successfully can’t happen without the ability to secure data to and from wherever it moves. We live in a data economy now. Data-driven business decisions are being made constantly and more rapidly. Every business, if it is to survive, is building models that inform it of consumer behavior and allow them to quickly pivot to accommodate the changes.

The Security Transformation Awards celebrates those individuals, teams, and organizations that are leading the charge for security transformation—jumping in with new energy and a clear sense of purpose to apply technology, smarts, and practical advice to moving business forward. 

Awards

The inaugural Security Transformation Awards will recognize Netskope customers and partners in four categories:
