Optimizing Multi-Cloud Workload Management and Multi-Cloud Investment

Your company will lose to ransomware (statistically).
How will you get services back on-line?  How do you get users back to work?  Back-ups and DR won’t cut it.  They will be victimized by APTs (advanced persistent threats) that spread ransomware and lock the data.  
You need a secure vault that guarantees you have instant access to ‘third copies’ of clean data.  Plus, you’ll need a mechanism to quickly move the data back into production and put users back to work.  The gold standard is Dell Technologies PowerProtect Cyber Recovery with CyberSense and Unisys Stealth.
However, ransomware recovery is not just plug-and-play. It requires budget, systems, expertise, automation, and teamwork – and time to make it operational.
Join us for an informative review of Cyber Recovery that includes the systems and workflows.  We’ll explain how to get your operations operating – and your workers working.

[On Demand] Business Recovery: A New Era of Digital Workplace Services

We hear a lot about cloud security lapses and high-profile breaches in the news. Industry reports and analysts exhaustively cover sensational cases publicly. But if you dig deeper into the details of these breaches, you’d discover that many of these vulnerabilities could have been avoided if the cloud environment was configured according to cloud security best practices. 

As companies also continue to quickly adopt cloud and implement their digital transformation strategy, there has been a clear trend to embrace speed over security. Establishing security in your hybrid and multi-cloud environments is especially problematic: multiple vendors, disparate architectures, and a mixture of applications and processes all can introduce vulnerabilities that expose your systems. With hackers, ransomware and data thieves on the rise, it’s also no wonder that a majority of IT leaders acknowledge that their biggest security fear is potential blind spots that could lead to compromised data or potential liabilities.  

In this exclusive Insights Forum, we were joined by Sally Eaves, Anupriya Ramraj & JP Cavanna who provided answers to these and other critical questions around how to effectively future-proof your security in the cloud:

•	How can you ensure holistic and systematic design for your strategic development? 
•	How well can security be enabled for companies that are quickly adopting cloud as part of their digital transformation?
•	Which are the most vital skills required for cloud security and goal setting?
•	What is the next innovation in security for cloud?
•	Is it time to rename the CISO to become the ‘business enabler’?

Listen into the Insights Forum discussion to achieve success with your hybrid and multi-cloud security.

[On Demand] Unisys Insights Forum: Future-Proof your Security in the Cloud

Many companies have already been hit by a ransomware attack- or will be. Technically astute hackers continue their ability to infiltrate ransomware so much, that Ransomware as a Service is now available on the darknet. In today's hyper connected world, it could be only a matter of time until 'something' happens. How are you modernizing your cyber resilience strategy? Have you made provisions with technology that adapts to the ever-changing approaches of modern attacks? What is your plan to recover when your catalogs, directories, AD, etc. are locked-down with ransomware?

Whether it is phishing, ransomware or insider attacks, the sophistication and intensity of modern cyber threats can make it difficult to keep up. In fact, attacks are routinely targeting back-up systems -- even "secure" back-ups.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

Evolve your security strategy (It is all about data management)
Take the economic incentive away from cyberhackers
Reduce your attack surface

Cyber Recovery in the Age of Ransomware

Increase Cyber Resilience with Zero Trust

Today, enterprise organizations exist in a very challenging cyber security landscape. Threats are everywhere. Trust is a liability. And enterprise IT environments are very complex. Bad actors continue to become more sophisticated in their attacks. Many of them now use powerful exploitation tools that were previously available only to nation-states. And, in some cases, the bad guys work together to share/exchange tools, information and stolen data.

The immediate impact of the pandemic on the global economy was also felt far and wide - with remote working, alterations in workforce levels, and changes to infrastructure becoming a common occurrence. As efforts now shift to the long-term strategic view of the ‘new normal’, organizations are questioning how they will ensure business resiliency in 2021 and act more quickly against new and evolving cyber threats. This exclusive industry discussion panel on ‘Delivering Zero Trust with Dynamic Isolation’ with Sally Eaves & JP Cavanna provided answers to these and other critical questions:

•	How Dynamic Isolation works to enable enterprises to act against threats at malware speeds?
•	How prepared are organizations to the possibility of internal threats?
•	Is Zero Trust the best way to navigate current cyber landscape?
•	What does the architecture of Dynamic Isolation look like and how can it make a difference?
