How to Build a Cloud Database Security Practice

This session is designed for Managed Service Providers. With 75% of databases expected to be deployed or migrated to the cloud by 2022, organizations are preparing for elevated breaches that will come with the expanded attack surface of the cloud. In fact, Gartner predicted that the Cloud Security market saw an increase of 33% in spending for 2020 and expects this trend to continue. Organizations are concerned and want to mitigate risk, but protecting data in the cloud is challenging. Traditional tools do not address the architectural differences, increases in accesses, and expanded attack surface that characterizes a cloud environment. Cloud providers' native tools focus on compute, network, and storage security but exclude databases, leaving organizations vulnerable to attack. This presents a global opportunity for Managed Service Providers to help. Tune in for a discussion on how to deliver best-in-class managed security for cloud databases, including: - Ways to open customer conversations and upsell security services - How to minimize misconfiguration and human error as well as fend off attacks - How to automate processes and make them scalable - What to look for in security tooling More about our presenter: Aaron Klein, Founder and CEO of SecureCloudDB, possesses a deep knowledge of cloud architecture, enterprise software, and over 20 years of managerial experience and vision.
