Navigating the Cloud Conference
The move to cloud computing is one of the largest paradigm shifts to happen to the IT industry, but many organizations are still unsure how to best leverage the cloud to achieve their business objectives. Many questions these organizations are asking include: how do I protect my data in the cloud? Will I actually save money by moving workloads? How can I monitor and automate scaling requirements? Join Vandis and our partners as we discuss answers to these questions along with an overview of best practices and strategies for public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
Amazon Web Services & Microsoft Azure
AWS and Azure have become the two primary players in IaaS and are both experiencing rapid growth. Both will be presenting on the latest developments and offerings that they have. Additionally, they will be sharing their experiences managing the cloud by discussing:
- How the cloud can improve an organization's environment and solve business problems
- Best practices for migrating to the cloud
- Pain points their clients commonly face
- How to best size and architect a cloud deployment
Centrify
Managing user privilege in a private environment can be difficult and building a hybrid environment only increases the challenge. Centrify will discuss how their Privileged Access Security Solution for the hybrid cloud can:
- Enable day-one user productivity with automated, directory-based single sign-on
- Establish one identity infrastructure across your apps, on-premise environment, and the hybrid cloud
- Mitigate threats by controlling user access and enforcing MFA
Tierpoint
Data protection and access is a top priority for organizations, but many lack a robust Disaster Recovery plan. Tierpoint will show how their Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) can be both defensive and strategic in its ability to:
- Improve data recovery time and, depending on configuration, achieve near real-time protection
- Increase your flexibility to shift and migrate workloads between different Cloud platforms as your business needs evolve
- Allow you to easily spin up workloads to develop and test against non-production environments
Gigamon
Migrating workloads to the cloud creates new management, security, and visibility challenges. Without the ability to access all traffic and data, decision making around compliancy, lateral threat mitigation, and user experience optimization can grind to a halt. Gigamon’s Visibility Platform for the cloud can help solve these issues by:
- Providing a way to consistently access network traffic within and across VPCs
- Deliver elastic visibility that scales as your organization’s cloud usage scales
- Effectively distributing traffic to multiple tools
Palo Alto Networks
Security policies must adapt to the growing network perimeter of hybrid cloud organizations. Palo Alto Networks will show how their Next-Generation Firewall can better protect your private and public cloud by:
- Preventing attacks and lateral movements of breaches
- Maintaining consistent policies between the on-prem network and the Cloud
- Automating firewall deployments and policy updates as your workloads change
