Bolstering Security and Resilience in the Cloud Era
With a growing number of state and local government IT leaders moving applications and services to the cloud, technology leaders need to keep in mind that, from a cybersecurity standpoint, their built-in security capabilities are rarely enough.
The addition of security and resiliency services to cloud systems like Microsoft Office 365, often pushes agencies to conduct a comprehensive review of their security and overall resilience posture. As frankly the move to the cloud changes more than just the delivery mechanism of the applications themselves!
During this webinar IT and security experts will discuss how to bolster your security on top of your cloud systems. This session will cover the right security controls to defend against cybercriminals, how to keep operations running in the case of downtime, and how to get back to a good state in the case of a breach or data corruption. The speakers will emphasize the steps you need to take to make your cloud operations more secure and resilient.
Key takeaways include:
- Key security controls needed to protect security cloud platforms such as Office 365.
- Learn about key attack techniques used by cybercriminals every day and how to defend against them
- How to use the cloud to protect the cloud.
