How Cloud Computing Can Rain on Your Security Strategy

Patrick Sweeney; SonicWALL, VP of Product Management
The ease-of-use, high scalability and low maintenance of cloud computing are just some of the benefits that are driving adoption of this new trend within the enterprise. Gartner confirms this in a recent report* that revealed that cloud computing rates as the second highest technology priority in 2010, behind only virtualization.

But IT managers need more specifics. What should I move to the cloud? What should I not move to the cloud? What are the risks and what are the rewards?

As promising as cloud computing is, you need to keep in mind that the cloud alternative approach for delivering IT services are accompanied by a number of significant challenges that could threaten the stability of your security strategy.

In this session we will examine the security, compliance and performance concerns associated with cloud computing. We will take a look about how you can utilize a dynamic security solution to attribute policy, limit liability and improve performance of your cloud-based technology investments. We will recommend what should and should not be moved, and why.

    Through its robust, cloud-based platform, Liaison is helping large enterprise customers with their BI initiatives by providing a cost effective and scalable data harmonization solution that can extract data from countless systems and formats, establish a common and flexible data model, cleanse the data, enforce business rules, and apply semantic logic before the data is syndicated out to the BI repository. Liaison's solution is vendor neutral and is delivered by seasoned professionals that focus on your project from the data layer out, not at the application layer – to deliver accurate and actionable data for critical business decisions.
  • There are always new threats in Social Media out there. What are the newest social media platforms and threats associated with them?
  • Today, more organizations are seeking better alternatives to passwords, which can be forgotten, shared, cracked or stolen. At the same time, it is impractical for both users and IT to have biometric authentication solutions integrated with every application. These challenges can be effectively addressed by integrating leading biometric authentication and web single sign-on (SSO) solutions.
    Join this webcast to hear Dennis Wilcox, Vice President of International & Identity Access Management from BIO-key® and Sean Dyon, ID Director Product Manager and Manager of BIO-key’s Presales group join Aaron Berman, Solution Strategy Advisor from CA Technologies to discuss how this new, validated solution allows users to perform biometric authentication and SSO to on-premise and cloud-based web applications without the need for additional passwords.
  • Spear-phishing, watering hole attacks, drive-by downloads…these are our new realities. The user is the primary target of attack and the endpoint is our new perimeter.

    McAfee recently announced the introduction of a revolutionary new set of security controls – The Complete Endpoint Protection Suites (Enterprise & Business) – including Deep Defender, a next generation anti-rootkit technology – to link security from chip to OS to applications to provide real-time monitoring of memory and CPU. McAfee also leads innovation through technology partnerships such as the one it enjoys with Invincea – a pioneer in the use of secure virtual containers to protect the most highly targeted applications (web browsers, PDF readers, Office suite).

    When married together, these technologies provide one of the most secure endpoint environments ever seen…and you’ve got to see what this is all about.

  • In the last 10 years, hacking has become big business with a well organised infrastructure, defined roles and responsibilities, and sophisticated attack vector automation that generates large-scale attacks of unprecedented size, speed and devastation. Advanced protection is needed in order to successfully stand up to the ‘industrialisation of hacking’. In this webinar, Andy will talk about:

    - How to prevent web attacks like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, app DDoS or site scraping.

    - The limitations and vulnerabilities associated with IPS solutions and other traditional security solutions.

    - Attack-mitigation techniques for combating malware including bots and other automated attacks common in industrialised hacking.

    - How to protect networks from the ‘compromised insider’ threat.

  • Shine the light on Shadow IT Jul 2 2013 3:30 pm UTC 60 mins
    Driven by cloud computing and the consumerization of IT, IT departments are being forced to change how they operate. The explosion of consumer smartphones and tablets for business usage, known as BYOD (bring-your-own-device), is forcing IT organizations to deal with more tech-savvy business users, who are ushering in the era of Shadow IT.

    As IT departments are painfully aware of the growing practice of hardware devices and software applications that are used for business purposes but are not supported or controlled by the organization’s central IT department. Often IT lacks visibility into usage, which makes it difficult to exert control. Find out how to arm yourself against Shadow IT with Next-Generation Firewalls.
