New Frontiers in Cloud Security

April 14th, 2:00p EDT

Cloud Security has certainly come a long way since the early days of cloud adoption when many thought the very term Cloud Security was an oxymoron. While some studies still indicate that security is a chief inhibitor to wider cloud adoption, there is little doubt the industry has responded with new innovative methods of securing cloud data and infrastructure. However, there is still debate on what are the right technologies and ways to do this.

In this webinar we will explore what some of the leading Cloud Security providers are doing to protect you, your data and your cloud infrastructure. Where should the emphasis be: on the cloud infrastructure, on your data, even on your endpoint? What is your responsibility versus your cloud provider? How can you work with your cloud provider and security vendor to be ensure you are doing the best you can? What does the near term and future hold?

Join us as we host an all star panel from three of the leading cloud security vendors – Qualys, Alert Logic and Illumio for an in depth discussion on where the cloud security state of the art is and what you need to know.
