WHAT:
|
|
Organizations are looking to tap the on-demand computing power,
analytics, applications, and massive storage offered by the cloud.
The Office of Management and Budgets (OMB) issued a “cloud-first”
policy promoting cloud computing. Yet progress is slow, since many
don’t fully understand and trust cloud
security systems to protect their data or ensure compliance
with federal
and state
regulations. In this Federal Computer Week (FCW) webcast, Robert
Bigman will expose the myths and reveal steps enterprises and
government agencies can take to secure data in the cloud.
Participants will learn:
|
|
|
|
-- The impact of virtualization and cloud computing on data security
– minus the five myths
|
|
|
|
-- Why hackers view cloud hacking as different, not harder
|
|
|
|
-- Why regulations including FISMA and FedRAMP make excellent
starting points, but don’t go far enough
|
|
|
|
-- The role of encryption
in mitigating risk and best practices for preventing data exposure
