Critical Criteria for Security Visibility in the Cloud

Our sponsor CloudPassage will be raffling off an Amazon Dot for registered attendees! Food & beverages will also be provided.

Abstract:

Modern elastic cloud infrastructure is fundamentally breaking traditional security approaches. Public cloud has no natural perimeter and network segmentation leaving individual cloud servers exposed. In private cloud, malicious East-West traffic inside the network is a serious threat. As new workloads are added and retired dynamically, change control is difficult, and updating granular firewall rules and security policies becomes a risky, manual process. Join us and learn the 6 Critical Criteria to secure your public, private or hybrid cloud – on-demand, anywhere, at any scale.
