Cloud computing may make perfect business in today's volatile and challenging economy that demands cost-efficient IT, but it can also compromise security when improperly deployed. Often, reactive point solutions will not adequately secure your company's information and processes. Besides, it takes only one security breach to irreparably tarnish reputations and lose customer confidence that took years to build. That's why IBM is a firm believer in taking a proactive approach to building secure clouds.
Thank you for joining the Managing Risk Seminar. Key highlights :
- The latest security risks and threats towards cloud computing
- Comprehensive identity management solution applies to the cloud environment to enforce security policies.
- Extend Protection for Web applications and databases while reducing cost and time
- How to integrate different types of applications in a cloud environment
| Time | Topics |
|---|---|
| 1:45 p.m. - 2:15 p.m. | Registration (Welcome Coffee and refreshment served) |
| 2:15 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. | Securing Virtualization in Real-World Environment While there are many virtualization security options, it is critical to understand that the true value of security is not in point products that address virtualization only, but in solutions that extend existing security measures to the new risks exposed by virtualized environments. Organizations interested in reducing cost and complexity, while achieving enterprise-grade security, must pay close attention to how their security infrastructure will fill in the gaps introduced by virtualization. |
| 3:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. | Securing the Cloud through Comprehensive Identity Management Solution In cloud environments, users and applications would be sharing IT resources for optimization. User security policies and controls become even more critical to provide a secure environment across a wide range of Web and application resources in the cloud. In this session, you would learn about how IBM's comprehensive identity management solution applies to the cloud environment to enforce security policies, prevent unauthorized access, monitor sensitive access and centralize auditing for compliance. |
| 3:30 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. | Break |
| 4:15 p.m.- 4:45 p.m. | Web Applications on Cloud - The Hackers' New Target As companies are looking into cloud computing projects, you don't want to become target for malicious hackers who are looking to seize vital information assets and use it to their advantage. Application security can no longer be an afterthought, nor can its responsibility be relegated to network and firewall devices. Instead, applications must themselves prevent misuse and abuse. Making security a development requirement saves time and money, and most importantly, protects your critical data from exploitation. |
| 4:45 p.m.- 5:15 p.m. | WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance : XML and Web Services Threat Protection for SOA Cloud Difficult types of applications can be provided by Cloud environment including XML interfaces and Web Services. In this session, you will find out more about how a purpose-built, easy-to-deploy network appliance provides critical XML threat protection and WS-Security acceleration, can easily be integrated with any types of applications, identity management and networking infrastructures. |
