Kobi Korsah, CA Technologies
The revolution driven by mobile and cloud technologies is redrawing business fortunes. Always-on customers armed with smart technology and unlimited choices at their fingertips are reshaping markets at the speed of thought. Meanwhile, competitors and innovative new foes are applying this 21st Century IT to revitalize familiar offerings, build new services, and even create new markets to captivate customers.
Despite a flat IT budget and limited resources can you afford not to increase IT reaction speed and innovation? What will slow reactions or service experiences do to your business? How realistic are your service innovation prospects or chances of playing in those new markets?
Too much time and resource is wrapped up in ‘keeping the lights on’. Not nearly enough is spent on innovation to deliver strategic business advantage. Join us and Ignite IT to transform your organization from strictly maintaining technology to driving new business innovation by improving efficiency and harnessing IT complexity to deliver business sophistication.

  • 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

  • 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

You will walk away from this session with a crisp understanding of how you can improve return on storage assets and make informed decisions to balance storage utilization, demand, and cost.
  • Storage Implications for Storing File Data Securely in a Distributed World Jun 12 2013 3:00 pm UTC 45 mins
    When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.

    The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.

    Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security.
