Going Cloud Native: Digital Modernization Approaches with Next Generation Emerging Technologies
For many organizations, digital modernization often equates to simply moving infrastructure and workloads from on-premise data centers to the cloud. Yet this approach often misses out on key opportunities to take advantage of cloud services to dramatically improve the customer experience. This session provides insights into how organizations can take advantage of cloud-based, next generation services and platforms—such as voice, blockchain and artificial intelligence—during the modernization process
Cloud Computing Past, Present and Future
Cloud has become an essential tool in companies technology toolkit. This session will look back at cloud implementations and discuss what has worked and what hasn’t. It will examine if the gains that were promised by the implementation of cloud have been realized. It will look at the current cloud native deployments and discuss how it is impacting application development. It will also look into the future and predict the changes to the cloud ecosystem and how you should prepare for this in your future roadmap.
Understanding Azure Security
This session will discuss how Microsoft is working with the Industry in establishing clear security and privacy requirements and then how we are consistently meeting these requirements. Azure meets a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards, such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1 and SOC 2, as well as country-specific standards, including Australia IRAP, UK G-Cloud, and Singapore MTCS. Rigorous third-party audits, such as those done by the British Standards Institute, verify Azure’s adherence to the strict security controls these standards mandate.
This session will focus on making your Azure, on-prem, and other cloud workloads complaint with your Agency’s security standards.
Cloud Security Architecture Tool (CSAT) - Leveraging CSF to Architect a FISMA-Compliant Cloud Solution
Security and privacy controls in a cloud ecosystem are distinct parts of a complex risk assessment equation that cloud consumers need to resolve despite the lack of visibility into the implementation of the cloud offerings. NIST proposes a framework that provides cloud consumers with a multidisciplinary, risk-based approach to building trustworthy cloud-based systems by facilitating transparency and traceability.
Cloud Security Demystified: A Risk Management Approach to Securing Cloud
Understanding and managing the layers of cloud security can be an overwhelming talk. This session explores the facets of cloud security architecture through the risk management lens. The audience will follow each phase of the NIST 800-37 risk management framework and understand how it can be used to assess, manage, control, and monitor cloud security using multiple security control frameworks.
Cloud Computing – It’s not Just Technology
Understanding that Cloud Computing is fundamentally not a technology evolution (or even a technology revolution) and viewing the cloud through a legacy lens is often the first step in not realizing the benefits cloud computing may offer. This session will provide insight into the non-technical aspects of cloud computing and how they impact successful cloud adoption.
