Redefining Virtual Desktop Infrastructure with Virtual Workspace
Zeus Kerravala, Principle Analyst at ZK Research
As the enterprise workplace continues to change creating new, more efficient ways of working, the compute platforms that power worker productivity need to evolve along with worker behavior. To date, VDI has been an important technology that is used to virtualize corporate desktops, but it too must evolve to deliver not just a virtual desktop but an entire virtual workspace.
Join Zeus Kerravala, Principal Analyst at ZK Research, as he discusses his latest whitepaper that explores the next phase of VDI that delivers the virtual workspace, including:
- The Business Benefits of a Virtual Workspace
- Key user profiles for the virtual workspaces
- Recommendations to mapping to journey to a virtual workspace

Testing Online Systems - What Are We Missing?
Dr. Craig S Wright GSE LLM, Exec. Vice President Strategy, CSCSS
Recorded:
May 16 2013
1 min
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. -

How to keep your head (and your job) when the worse case scenario happens.
Due to the increasing frequency of security breaches, defining an action plan is critical for every security practitioner. Getting breached doesn’t determine whether or not you’ve got a good security program in place – but how you respond to one does.
Join security expert Conrad Constantine of AlienVault, for an in-depth discussion on things you and your team should do today to prepare for information security breaches. You’ll get practical, lessons learned advice on:
-The inevitability of security breaches
-Preparing to survive security breaches
-Threat identification and containment
-Handling the aftermath so it’s not worse than the breach itself -
Why Your Cloud Provider Security Logo Doesn’t Mean a Thing
Dennis Hurst, Application Security, HP Fortify; Ryan English, Global Director, HP Fortify on Demand Team
Recorded:
May 16 2013
49 mins
As more applications have moved to the cloud, the industry has seen a proliferation of application security issues. In 2012, several cloud service providers were breached as a direct result of application security vulnerabilities. Before you choose a cloud service provider, make sure that it answers the series of security questions created by the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). CSA has created a checklist of industry-accepted ways to document what security controls exist in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS offerings – creating more transparency for enterprises. The speakers will walk attendees through this blueprint, helping them to become more adept at identifying service provider security readiness. They'll also discuss some of the most common application vulnerabilities, including unencrypted passwords, SQL Injection, and those that impact poorly architected mobile apps. -
