Creating and Enabling Secure, Resilient, and Scalable Digital Transformation
When COVID-19 accelerated digital business, it also accelerated the trend wherein many digital assets — and individuals — are increasingly located outside of the traditional enterprise infrastructure. In alignment with the goal of assurance – which is to minimize risk – the focus of all assurance teams shifts to building methods, practices, approaches and frameworks for enabling secure, and scalable digital transformation for organization. In addition to building these frameworks, a lot of emphasis is to ensure the enablement of the same for ensuring resilience and sustainability. Built on the theme of Creating & Enabling Secure, Resilient, and Scalable Digital Transformation this year, the conference will display ideas, experiments, and experiences to explore challenges and suggest techniques and innovations to overcome common problems.
STC 2022 brings together practitioners, thinkers, and thought leaders to present tools and techniques to help you understand your environment better, organize your thoughts, create transformation enablers, and ultimately prepare you for thriving in the future
