Keeping your Head out of the Clouds: What you need to know to use the Cloud securely
As more and more companies consider moving their data, applications, and even infrastructure to the Cloud, they have real questions about its security: Is the Cloud secure? What kind of security risk are we exposing our company to? What can we do to protect our organization and still take advantage of the benefits the Cloud offers?
The good news is you can use the Cloud securely. The trick is in knowing how.
Major cloud providers offer architectural building blocks that allow you to assemble secure cloud environments. While the tools and solution sets vary by provider, there are best practices that can be used to make sure your adoption of the Cloud is done well… and securely.
During this session we will review basic cloud security options and discuss how you can demonstrate the security of what you have built when your internal audit department or external assessors come knocking. You will leave with a deeper knowledge of how to secure the Cloud and hopefully a little less stress (at least around cloud security)
