Election Takeaways for Cybersecurity Leaders

The 2020 US presidential election is behind us, but the key cybersecurity issues surrounding election integrity could linger for years to come. From ransomware attacks on local governments, to the untamed spread of disinformation, to experimenting with online voting apps and the myriad of vulnerabilities uncovered across election infrastructures, cybersecurity had never before taken such a central place in the national conversation as it did in 2020.

So, what have we learned in the aftermath? And how can we apply it to better protect upcoming elections as well as enterprises, customers and employees?

Join this interactive panel with security experts and tech leaders to learn the biggest lessons from the election from a cybersecurity and privacy standpoint. Discover what went down, what could have gone better and how to prepare for the midterm elections in 2022.

- Can we build a hack-free election
- Does misinformation on social sites impact how people vote and what can be done to stop the spread
- What was new this time and what should security leaders keep in mind for their organizations
- Would it be safer if we brought the voting process online or in app
- Can nation state actors change voter rolls or polling data
- What the biggest election threats mean for industry
- Key takeaways for cybersecurity leaders

Panelists:
- Jim Richberg, Public Sector Field CISO at Fortinet
- W. Curtis Preston, Chief Technical Evangelist, Druva

This episode is part of The (Security) Balancing Act original series with Diana Kelley. We welcome viewer participation and questions during this interactive panel session.

To succeed with Kubernetes, you have to architect for compute, storage and data. As production applications move to Kubernetes, so do the requirements for data protection, security, and compliance. With almost limitless Kubernetes configurations and developer needs, it can seem overwhelming to protect.

However, by architecting data management into your Kubernetes environment, you can keep your organization safe and productive.

In this session, we will discuss best practices and approaches for protecting and optimizing Kubernetes clusters and applications.

W. Curtis Preston and special guest Ivan Oprencak, Sr. Director of Product Marketing at VMware, are discussing the benefits and use cases of hashtag#hybridcloud.

Do you ever wonder why everybody else is in the cloud and you’re not? Join technical leaders from Druva and AWS for a discussion on best practices for running data protection in the cloud. Hear real-world examples of other companies’ pitfalls and successes as they move their backup and recovery workloads to AWS.

You will learn:
How to architect cloud data protection - best practices, top workloads, key challenges

What to consider when looking at hybrid and multi-cloud Core
technologies and trends that you need to consider.

Industry experts Stephen Manley and W. Curtis Preston discuss recent hashtag#ransomware attacks and what you can do to protect yourself.

In today’s unprecedented times, we stand united to help the growing remote workforce by leveraging advances in cloud technology to enable business continuity and worker productivity. At Druva, our cloud-based data backup and recovery solution can help protect your organization’s business-critical data from accidental data loss and ransomware, while maintaining data security and compliance.

Accelerate cloud migration with cloud-based data protection. Watch this webinar to learn how Druva, powered by AWS, helped national media conglomerate Katz Media Group shift from on-premises data center protection to a 100% cloud-based solution — kick-starting an organizational shift to the cloud that enabled more agility, efficiency, and cost-savings.

Watch to learn how Druva’s cloud-native data protection solution built on AWS empowered Katz Media Group to:

• Validate the shift from capital expenses (CapEx) to operating expenses (OpEx) with TCO savings of up to 50%
• Improve organizational agility, data security, and accessibility with a comprehensive cloud-based solution
• Boost employee productivity through a single console that manages endpoints, data centers, and cloud-native workloads
• Accelerate time to value with easy deployment and single-click backup and disaster recovery from the cloud

Amazon Web Services (AWS) and hashtag#MrBackup discuss hybrid cloud trends, use cases, and best practices.

The Queensland Brain Institute is an Australian neuroscience research institute located in Brisbane at the St Lucia campus of The University of Queensland. The Queensland Brain Institute’s researchers work to understand the development, organization and function of the brain. Collaboration with clinicians and commercial partners to develop new therapeutic approaches for brain diseases generates terabytes of data.

With most researchers having several hundred gigabytes of critical data on their machines and the need to facilitate global collaboration, an increasing issue the institute needed to solve was data availability and backup reliability at the endpoint.
The team discovered Druva and quickly saw the benefits of cloud-based data protection for endpoints.

“Having a fully automated data protection solution was a night-and-day improvement. Implementation of Druva inSync was straightforward, and we quickly saw trust established between the researchers and Druva. The platform gave them confidence that if anything happens to their device or data, it can be quickly restored,” said Perry Kollmorgen, IT manager.

The explosive growth of cloud workloads has created a decentralized environment, leaving IT teams vulnerable to data protection gaps.

Therefore Cloud Architects are tasked to address issues such as unmanaged data, data mitigation loss, compliance, and rising storage costs. Watch this Webinar learn practical tips to set up and achieve comprehensive cloud-native data protection for AWS workloads.

•Minimize risk of data loss, multi-region, and multi-account DR
•Meeting compliance SLAs and regulatory mandates
•Management challenges of AWS environment growth
•Control retention, snapshot sprawl, and free up resources.

Do you think the native capabilities of Office 365 are enough to protect your business? Would you bet your career on it?

Hear from W. Curtis Preston Chief Technical Evangelist at Druva on how to step up your data protection game.

In this live talk you will learn how:
• SharePoint sites (including Microsoft Teams) can be restored for a time but with major limitations
• O365 - Protect against ransomware, accidental deletion, or corruption
• Better align and respond faster to compliance and legal inquiries
• More efficiently manage departing employee and long-term archiving of data

As organizations mature on the AWS cloud, the challenges of designing, building, and running large scale SaaS applications have become more apparent. Thankfully building and scaling on AWS is something that Druva has been excelling in for many years.

Cloud Computing hat herkömmliche Methoden der Datensicherung in Frage gestellt. So stellen Cloud-basierte und virtualisierte IT-Infrastrukturen traditionelle Tools vor Anforderungen, die sie oft nicht erfüllen können. Auch erweist sich der Kosten- und Verwaltungsaufwand einer On-Premises-Lösung häufig im Vergleich als zu hoch.

Cloud-native Backup-Lösungen überwinden diese Probleme durch ihre Architektur und ihr flexibles Nutzungsmodell. Mit Cloud-basiertem Backup & Recovery können Unternehmen die Kosten für ihre Datensicherung senken, ihre Möglichkeiten erweitern und ihren Administrationsaufwand senken. Zugleich sorgen sie dafür, dass im K-Fall ihre Absicherung durch modernste Methoden und Cloud-Technologien erfolgen kann.
