Securing Your Journey to the Cloud

Higher education institutions of all sizes face increased compliance requirements to combat new threats and avoid data breaches. Continuous monitoring, coupled with diagnosis and mitigation, is a critical tool for protecting intellectual property and PII. Security professionals must adapt and evolve to this era of hypersecurity and vigilance. The speaker has over 15 years' experience with implementing IT security and data center architectures. He will outline the current environment (defense in depth, always at risk, hacktivism, and the rise of the security-threat entrepreneur), highlight the benefits of continuous monitoring and diagnostics, and outline best practices and lessons learned from industry and government. Learn how you can maintain advanced persistent response to remediate threats and counter cyberattack risks.
