As enterprise cloud adoption matures, security, privacy, control, and visibility are becoming paramount for corporate IT.
In a multi-tenant cloud environment, data privacy and data security have become even larger issues. Key escrow management (deciding who manages and holds the encryption keys) is a critical strategic decision. If the wrong person within the cloud provider’s environment is given access to the customer’s data, a serious security breach can be the result.
File encryption by itself is not sufficient for adequate data security. Logging and auditing of user actions are fundamentals. Comprehensive data protection involves building a new management layer around the infrastructure to abstract that infrastructure while still providing visibility, tracking and control. Authorizations must be regulated, limits and quotas must be set, and access rights and permissions set for actions such as starting or terminating virtual machines. It is also essential to generate alerts, notifications, and API calls.
In this webinar, our panel will discuss these topics:
- What data security and data privacy gaps need to be addressed to architect a secure data protection cloud environment?
- How do the data protection needs and tolerances of enterprises in multi-tenant cloud-based environments differ from on-premises environments?
- What are common points of breakage for the enterprise security posture in a complex or multi-cloud environment?
- What factors are critical to provide comprehensive data security for public cloud environments?
- What can businesses learn from companies that have experienced data loss in multi-tenant cloud environments?
Speakers include:
- Caroline McCrory, Senior Director, Gigaom Research
- Paul Miller, Founder, The Cloud of Data
- Dana Gardner, President
- David Mortman, Chief Security Architect and Distinguished Engineer, Dell Enstratius
