Today’s pervasive platform economy require a holistic strategy that includes controls and measures to mitigate risk associated with outsourcing touchpoints and the threat economy. What is coming down the technology pipeline to protect and truly secure hybrid cloud IT infrastructure and prepare for the implications of the connected world?
Over the past 12 months, digital transformation projects have accelerated across industries. Organizations are focused on building the infrastructure and services to satisfy this expansion with digital customers, partners, suppliers, and employees. Being a digital enterprise is more than moving workloads to a public cloud. It’s rethinking workflow, process, skills, culture, and methods to protect corporate assets. The fundamental business platform structure that has been in place for the past thirty years is rapidly being digitalized. In this session, we talk about securing your digital enterprise.
Many organizations are moving sensitive data and important applications to the cloud, even as concerns about protection remain. Transferring data security and access controls from the hardware of the past to a cloud-based infrastructure requires innovation for both the data owner and the cloud provider. This session uncovers the next iteration of cloud-based automation, where security is integral to the design architecture and build.
Revelations around the SolarWinds cyber-attacks have raised the specter of new attack vectors made possible through the software supply chains that undergird today’s computing environments. But what are the implications of supply chain threats in cloud services? How must we leverage the cloud without introducing de facto backdoors or other platforms for attack into our organizations? Gain insights on how cyber adversaries can leverage cloud infrastructure and provide principles for managing cloud supply chain risk.
