Arbor Networks' Gary Sockrider to Speak on Three Security Panels at the 2016 Channel Partners Conference


Arbor Networks Inc., the security division of NETSCOUT (NASDAQ: NTCT), today announced that the company will be at the 2016 Channel Partners Conference & Expo being held March 16-19 in Las Vegas. Arbor Networks (News - Alert) Principal Security Technologist Gary Sockrider will be serving as an expert panelist in three speaking engagements at the show. Together, the panels will help CISOs successfully sell the importance of security to their boards, highlight the potential of security in the channel, and provide advice to organizations looking to develop an IoT practice.

Gary Sockrider is a principal security technologist at Arbor, and an industry veteran with more than 25 years of broad technology experience ranging from network security to routing and switching, data center, mobility and collaboration. His previous roles include small and medium enterprise security, consultancy, customer support, IT and product management. Gary is passionate about understanding and conveying the constantly evolving threat landscape, as well as the techniques and solutions that address the challenges they present.

Panel Overview: Selling Security as a Business Enabler
Not only are your customers' CISOs battling a skills shortage, they're fighting for budget and must make the case that it's smarter to spend on security (read: cost center) than a shiny new digital marketing initiative. Unless a company has been burned, that's a tough sell. This session will provide tip to translate security technology to the language of business enablement.



When: Wednesday, March 16; 2:00-2:45 p.m.
Where: Channel Partners Conference 2016 | Level 1, Galileo 901

Panel Overview: THE BIG STAGE EVENT: Security & The Channel: Predictions & Possibilities
A panel of top security experts will share their outlook on the threat landscape and how partners can add value by protecting the business. As founder of a managed service provider that serviced casinos up and down the strip, and now president of Effortless Office, moderator Benjamin Gayheart knows the Las Vegas gambling industry inside and out. He'll work with panelists to calculate the odds of an attacker running the table on customers.


When: Wednesday, March 16; 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Where: Channel Partners Conference 2016 | Level 2, Hall B, Booth #568

Panel Overview: Defining the Practice: IoT
If you wait for the Internet of Things to go mainstream, you'll be way behind the curve because there's a lot to get your arms around - think connectivity, physical and cybersecurity, data analytics, storage, management and automation, and application enablement. This session will offer guidance for partners looking to develop IoT practices.

When: Thursday, March 17; 10:35-11:20 a.m.
Where: Channel Partners Conference 2016 | Level 1, Marco Polo 701
