In this special Las Vegas edition, we come to you from NetApp INSIGHT 2025, where we sit down with some phenomenal women shaking up the industry. Gladys Kline, VP of Partners & Alliances at GDT, joins us first as a leader who rewrites the script on network security.   Ready to think smarter about your security? Gladys doesn’t just talk theory—she gives you the real-world strategies for layering defenses, securing every digital pathway, and keeping your data exactly where it belongs  Data is on the move, and so are the threats. From distributed architectures to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gladys shares how industry evolution has led experts to re-evaluate the right way to secure increasingly distributed network environments, especially as remote work, AI, cloud and modern networking stacks are changing the data game for good.  We dig into how modern security frameworks like Zero Trust and Secure Service Edge are helping businesses deliver a layered approach to data security, and how integral alliances are to bringing together the right technology partners to deliver outstanding outcomes.
