The shift to cloud applications Is creating massive change In security architectures. At the endpoint, the use of mobile devices and an increasingly remote workforce creates security complexity in access and identity validation. In the network, strong encryption and convergence of applications onto HTTP web technologies break the next gen firewall philosophy. Email phishing and credential attacks continue to compromise individual contributors to key executives; while cloud applications are driving the adoption of new security and compliance controls. These new requirements threaten to push an already-fragmented stack of security tools over the edge to complete chaos, and the stakes are higher – data breaches need to be publicly reported, are monetized more easily, while attacks become more sophisticated. In this session we will answer:What methodologies are required to protect compliance sensitive data and intellectual property from breach, wherever they go or reside?How can you provide uniform security, automation and compliance controls across a complex landscape of SaaS Apps (Office 365, SalesForce, Box and hundreds of others), Infrastructure and Platform as a Service (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)?How can we harden and protect workloads as we develop and deploy applications in AWS, Azure and other IaaS environments?How are network access, network security, and WAN designs changing with Software Defined Networks, Internet-connected sites?What are the implications to engineering traffic from different endpoint devices to various cloud security services? How can I more effectively protect users out in a cloud connected world? How can I cover all these new requirements with a constrained budget and limited security resources?
