In an increasingly distributed, cloud-native IT/OT landscape, organizations face the challenge of operating thousands of edge devices and applications securely and efficiently. This session explores how separating management and runtime layers, adopting a Zero Trust approach, and implementing consistent orchestration can deliver security, visibility, and scalability in complex edge environments. Real-world scenarios will illustrate how large-scale edge orchestration works—from application deployment to ongoing management. In this Session you will learn,

• How to design a distributed edge architecture by separating management and runtime layers, leveraging bare-metal virtualization, and enabling cloud-based control
• How to apply a Zero Trust security model tailored to diverse sites and devices in perimeter-free environments
• How to orchestrate at scale by deploying, updating, and managing thousands of edge nodes from a central platform
• How to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs while increasing visibility and control over distributed infrastructures
