Shaping the Future of Network Modernisation.
VECTEC Executive Discussion: Strengthening Security, Powering Performance.
At VECTEC, we believe in the power of bringing people together to share insights and best practice.
Recently VECTEC co-founder Jack McEvoy and CTO Craig Taylor led an Executive Roundtable discussion on the future of Network Modernisation at Shellhouse Sydney with Moxie Insights and industry technology executives from businesses such as Commonwealth Bank, IAG, Toll Group, DHL, Seymour Whyte and the University of Technology Sydney, and in partnership with Aruba Networking.
Together, the group brought fresh insights on securing organisations and driving performance, outlining the path to building business excellence in network security and performance, tackling common barriers while detailing examples of industry best practice.
The business blueprint for future success is anchored on the ability of organisations to defend and attack in equal measure – mitigating risk while empowering growth.
Such a dilemma is placing companies at an infrastructure crossroads, seeking new ways to survive a volatile threat landscape while attempting to thrive in a highly competitive market.
According to Moxie Research, 82% of Australian businesses are identifying new ways to strengthen protection levels in the months ahead, with 62% also committed to improving technology performance and resilience.
In response, forward-thinking executives are revising network strategies to integrate advanced security features and ensure optimised performance across distributed environments. The aim? To improve data stability, application performance, network security and operational efficiency.
Key discussion points included:
Outlining strategic actions to drive tangible change
Understanding security and performance business priorities
Assessing common network infrastructure challenges
Detailing the business and technology foundations for success
Sharing examples of industry best practice
