Alliance - ‘A union

benefit’

                 Executive Business Exchange

Foreword

Leigh Thomas is an ambitious and passionate executive with a desire for
achieving the ideal.

With experience in numerous industries and working within C-level
communities across the globe in Oil & Gas, Mining, Power & Enterprise IT,
across multiple divisions across the business.

Following his experience with his previous employer and working with
leading CIOs & CISO’s across EMEA, his understanding of B2B events grew.
With his passion for achieving the ideal scenario a plan was founded to
strip back what the industry is about. This is where the core values of the
Alliance Chapter were born along with Alliance Media Group.
Alliance - ‘A union formed for mutual benefit’.

Whilst understanding that every business will need to drive commercials
to become sustainable in the modern world. Leigh believed that
commercials must not be the driver but, a solution to a ‘why’.
The Event Managed Services industry is spiralling into a dark tunnel of
an industry where money is the leader and not the value of time. The
industry was born off the back of ‘Everybody wants to learn’ and Leigh
Thomas has created the Alliances to ensure that the end user driven
meets, are purely focused around the educational needs of everyone
involved and around their business objectives. Zoning in on the best
practices in overcoming the common business objectives that motivate
activity within each of the end user firms and not simply global trends
and themes to generate revenue.

2020 and the Digital environment has been forced for a remote workforce
with limited human interaction due to the Coronavirus pandemic since
March 2020. From this, our community representative have been relied
upon even more for business enablement.

From the event space environment, even more events companies have
found an overnight solution of plaguing diaries with event upon event,
with revenue driven activities. As an organisation, we will shy away from
this and only invite the community to engage when justified. We will
also, not be looking for time commitments of more than an hour or two
as we understand that life is continued, in the remote style of operating
business currently.

Session Title:

Complete Endpoint Security: Five Critical Steps

Session Overview and Purpose:

70% of successful breaches started at the endpoint in 2019. Since then, a global pandemic has
caused a large-scale shift to remote work – a perfect storm for privilege abuse. As a result, malware
has increased by 30,000% in 2020. This is especially concerning when many companies still rely on
antivirus software (AV) or Endpoint Detection and Response solutions (EDR) alone to secure endpoints.

In this visionary session, we will be highlighting which two overlooked steps can mitigate the 60% of
modern threats that are missed by AV, and why the need for organizations to move from a reactive to a
preventative approach is more important than ever.

Focus topics include:

An overview of endpoint security and why it is crucial for your organization
Traditional challenges and existing problems with endpoint security
The five critical steps to achieving complete endpoint security

                                                                                                        //9

JOIN THE ALLIANCES TO BE INVOLVED WITH FUTURE CHAPTERS
Alliance Media Group (AMG) Ltd and subsequently, the Alliances were deliberately named to include
the word ‘Alliance’ due to it’s definition from the Collins dictionary. An Alliance stands for ‘A union
                                     formed for mutual benefit’.
All influencers and contributors should achieve some form of benefit and all Alliances manage the
expectations of its customers and participants to coach through the best practices of achieving the
                                       outcomes they deserve.
