  • In this session, we look at the issues with testing and audit. This is the base causes of why we fail to secure systems and how we can more effectively create methodologies that actually find flaws. Penetration tests and audit each have major failings, but when done correctly and with the right incentives, they can help make us more secure. When done poorly, we all suffer.
  • Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens was looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that would extend the flexibility of virtualization to his DR environment. The solution had to deliver enterprise-class support for his mission critical applications: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint and various CAD programs. The board of directors was specifically asking what the current solution was and what service levels could the infrastructure deliver.
    Zerto Virtual Replication installed seamlessly into their existing infrastructure, did not require any data center updates and is fully integrated into VMware vCenter.

    With Zerto Virtual Replication he was able to:
    - Realize very aggressive service levels – recovery point objectives of seconds and recovery time objectives of minutes
    - Deliver a better ROI with a DR solution that is hardware agnostic
    - Increase team productivity with a very simple solution
    - Quickly cross-train additional staff on DR processes and procedures
    - Optimize flexibility as changes to the environment required changes to the DR strategy
    - Test and validate the DR failover process without taking primary production systems offline

    Join Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens and Jennifer Gill, Director of Product Marketing at Zerto, to hear from your peers and learn about Zerto Virtual Replication.

  • Organizations outsourcing card data to the cloud face significant security risks. As soon as an organization adds other players to the offsite card-management mix, ensuring compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard becomes increasingly challenging. Cloud users and cloud service providers need to understand what their roles and responsibilities are when it comes to protecting this data. Storing, processing and transmitting cardholder data in the cloud brings the cloud environment into scope for PCI-DSS.

    Organizations need to know where their data is at all times. A lot of cloud clients have limited or no control over cardholder data storage. Organizations should be concerned about collecting and correlating access logs and other information from cloud vendors to ensure they are maintaining security compliance. Where's the data being stored? Is it stored in multiple locations? These are all things that you have to take into consideration when you're thinking about outsourcing to a cloud provider. Join this webcast as we address the compliance challanges in the cloud, and gain new insights on:

    - Emerging PCI security risks in the cloud
    - Understand the role of cloud entities
    - Processes for assessing risk when card data could potentially be stored in multiple locations
    - Structuring planning controls to deal with PCI DSS changes
    - Recommendations for achieving PCI compliance across virtual environments

  • Impact of Cloud Computing on the Australian UC Services Market Recorded: May 16 2013 14 mins
    The on-premise deployment model is currently the predominant model for UC deployment in Australia, with the cloud based alternative still at an early stage of growth. This is expected to change in favour of the cloud based model in the future, albeit at a gradual rate.

While the hosted and cloud based UC market in Australia is at an early stage of growth, the segment is poised for strong growth over the next five to seven years.
    The aim of this briefing is to
    •Provide an overview of the Australian UC Services market
    •Highlight some key trends and driving factors for growth in the UC services market
