Networking Essentials for VDI: Steps to Accelerating Your Desktop Virtualization

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

Le taux d’équipement en périphériques mobiles (PC, tablettes, smarphones) dépassant maintenant celui des PCs fixes, il n’est pas surprenant que la tendance se poursuive en entreprises. Hors la mobilité va de pair avec le Cloud en tant que nouvelle plateforme de collaboration d’où un échange des informations bien au-delà du traditionnel périmètre.
Lors de ce webcast, nous vous proposons de mieux comprendre comment protéger vos données stockées dans le Cloud, tout en garantissant une facilité d’expérience aux utilisateurs.
Découvrez :
-Comment développer, gérer et mettre en œuvre des politiques de sécurité renforcées dans le Cloud
-Comment sécuriser les communications emails échangées entre terminaux mobiles
-Comment Symantec peut vous aider à résoudre des problématiques de conformité grâce au DLP et au chiffrement

La convergence des infrastructures IT apporte un surcroit de complexité, de coûts et de risques dans la gestion, le stockage et la protection des informations dans les entreprises.
Au cours de cette session, nous vous proposons de faire le point sur les enjeux actuels des infrastructures (virtualisation, croissance des données, stockage…) et vous présenterons une solution moderne de protection des données pour réduire la complexité et les coûts : l’appliance Symantec Backup Exec 3600.

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

Enterprise IT implementations and upgrades often come with business disruption, unexpected costs and lengthy delays. What if there were a way to avoid those risks?
