7 Ways to Fail at Cloud Security
Ian Thornton-Trump, CISO, will present his “seven evil samurai of cloud fail.” It’s been an ugly year for many organizations which had to suddenly support 10’s, 100’s or even thousands of work-from-home staff. This situation led many business to do “terrible cloud things” placing security improvements and compliance efforts on the back burner in favor of an “All Gas, No Brakes” approach to supporting remote users.

Sure some of the issues fall on the hosting providers themselves who will gladly take an organization’s money with little regard for security or compliance concerns. In other cases, the lack of a plan for software and hardware lifecycle management made cloud transformation an ugly nightmare.

The bottom line is what organizations think they know about cloud security controls for confidentiality, integrity and availability is in many cases a hostile alien landscape.

Hardening Your Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure
More enterprises are moving to the flexibility and security of hybrid cloud platforms. This multi-dimensional approach if effective for modern business operations, but can poses several security challenges. Hardening a hybrid cloud infrastructure requires different approaches for securing the public cloud and the private cloud.

The public cloud provides flexibility and access, while the private cloud can be hardened with more stringent security controls. It is also critical to apply governance and understand the shared responsibility of both the public and private cloud aspects of a hybrid infrastructure.

During this session, we will examine several best practices for hardening both and ensuring a hybrid cloud platform that is secure and resilient as possible.
