Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall. Recent revelations about government snooping, along with a steady stream of well-publicized data breaches, only add to the uncertainty.
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Denny Heaberlin, Security Product Manager with Windstream's Cloud and Data Center Marketing team, discussed how to manage these concerns and how choose the right cloud vendor, an essential part of any cloud strategy.
Why Zero Trust Architecture Will Become the New Normal in 2021Cloudflare
The COVID-19 pandemic brought changes no IT team was ready for: employees were sent home, customer interaction models changed, and cloud transformation efforts abruptly accelerated. Cloudflare recently commissioned Forrester Consulting to explore the impact of 2020 disruptions on security strategy and operations among companies of all sizes. To do so, they surveyed 317 global security decision makers from around the world.
Join our guest Forrester VP, Principal Analyst, Chase Cunningham, and Cloudflare Go-To-Market Leader, Brian Parks, for an in-depth discussion of the survey results, followed by practical guidance for next year’s planning.
Cloud has changed the way we use computing and can yield significant economic, collaborative and efficiency benefits. But with this increased adoption, at both the personal & business level, comes increased exposure to potential risks, threats and attacks. This talk will introduce the fundamentals of cloud security, how cloud service and deployment models influence security, and practices that we can all undertake for threat and risk protection.
Watch this previously recorded webinar event with special guest Karthik Sundaram of Frost & Sullivan as he expands on his recently published research, “Cybersecurity in the Era of Industrial IoT". Leveraging insights from actual use cases, new policy initiatives, and available solutions, the research explores cybersecurity approaches, including a deep dive into the concept of “defense-in-depth” and its implications for a converged IT-OT environment in the future.

Forrester Research recently conducted a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study, commissioned by IBM, to examine the potential return on investment (ROI) that organizations may achieve by deploying IBM Security Network Protection (XGS), a next-generation intrusion prevention system (IPS). The study determined that by implementing IBM Security Network Protection (XGS), organizations realize an increase in network performance and availability, while also enjoying reduced costs and security risks.
Join us at this complimentary webinar to hear directly from our guest, Forrester TEI consultant Ben Harris, about the results of IBM Security Network Protection (XGS) study.

When organisations today connect digitally and the concept of a network is found to be fast disappearing. Mobile and Cloud solutions are being enabled across the enterprise to aid digital agendas. Calls for agility by the business are driving CIOs and CISOs to look for effective trust-based service enablement models that can help cater to business demand.
Digital transformation has increased the importance of the network, particularly the edge, where customers, employees, cloud applications and IoT devices connect to the enterprise. The legacy static and non-dierentiated network edge of years past is no longer suicient for many reasons, so as companies embark on digital-transformation plans, their networks must evolve.

all the time. This influences our lifestyle, our interests and attitude, it changes the way we work.
This means a whole new era for the software industry. And this era should be called “Cloud”.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

10. CLOUD IS KEY FOR GROWTH
Oxford Economics conducted a national survey of 350 executives which shows that
cloud computing is fundamentally altering business processes and changing the
way organizations interact with customers, partners and employees
Most say cloud is a key to their innovation strategy and is part of the long-range vision in the
next two years
Geographic expansion and new lines of business are seen as key goals enabled by the cloud
Collaboration among business units and partners, innovation, improved customer service, time
to market and business agility are highly valued benefits of moving to the cloud
13. “Today, business is all about risk mitigation, transference, or acceptance. One of
the questions we have to constantly ask is whether we can lower our risk by
running an application in-house or in the cloud.”
– Kevin Buchanan, Director of IT Infrastructure at Randolph Hospital

16. “Many items, including mundane things like light bulbs and door locks, are
being hooked up to the internet by putting tiny computers into them and
adding wireless connectivity.
The problem is that these computers do not have enough processing power
to handle antivirus and other defenses found on a PC. The margins on them
are wafer-thin, so manufacturers have little scope for spending on security.
And the systems are being produced in vast quantities, so hackers finding a
flaw in one will be able to get into many others too.”

20. HOW TO CHOOSE THE
RIGHT CLOUD PROVIDER
Review your network
configuration as a team prior to
the implementation of a solution.
Find a provider with the expertise
needed to implement a network
security strategy.
Make sure the provider is PCI-
compliant and holds industry-
specific certifications.
Find a provider that offers
suggestions to complement your
existing network strategy.
Be sure the provider can meet or
exceed industry response times if
urgent issues arise.
Avoid downtime. Choose a provider
with cloud-based services that can
bear the burden of an attack.
Obtain the full spectrum of
monitoring and reporting in order to
develop and optimize your strategy.
21. KEY TAKEAWAYS
Companies must ensure that Security is a top component in your IT culture
Companies must build their IT frameworks around robust and
comprehensive security
Simply ensuring that only approved programs can run on your
organization’s systems, regularly patching all software, educating
employees about cyber-risks and constantly monitoring networks would
help keep most intruders out
It is not IF, it is WHEN, and it comes down to how quickly you can respond
Leadership needs to incorporate cybersecurity considerations into product,
customer, and location decisions
Deploy and enforce effective governance and reporting for all critical data
Companies must select vendors with security in mind
