This document discusses managing access security risks in the cloud. It notes that security is a major concern for organizations moving to the cloud. The top internal and external audit findings relate to identity and access management. The document advocates adopting a risk-driven identity and access management model to ensure the right people have the right access to the right resources. It acknowledges that while security technologies are important, managing risk should be the focus. An architecture for access intelligence is proposed that uses analytics and monitoring to detect threats and risks in real-time and enable contextual remediation.

Balancing User Experience with Secure Access Control in HealthcareSecureAuth
Managing remote and cloud user access via passwords has always presented challenges. Remote access to EHR/EMR applications through VPNs such as Citrix, by clinical and non-clinical staff must be secured beyond the vulnerable password. But doctors and other users often resist added security measures because they reduce usability. Emerging technologies that help achieve a balance, such as device fingerprinting, will be covered and shown to actually improve the end user experience while still providing Strong, Adaptive Authentication.
Information Security is becoming a focus for the entire enterprise, not just IT. This need to align both business and technology is forcing IT to move Information Security from afterthought to forethought. Architects now ponder how Information Security can be integrated into the broader topic of Enterprise Architecture. This session shows how to make the integration happen. You will learn how to integrate assets and define trusts and threat models as a part of your overall EA plan. You will also understand how Information Security is traced all the way from business architecture to the technology implementation. Participants will understand the components of an Integrated EA and Information Security framework and ensuring the traceability between business goals and IT security solutions delivered from the framework.
Key Issues:
-Understand the need to think early about Information Security
-Learn to incorporate Information Security into your EA blueprint and roadmap
-Integrate Informatoin Security Goals, objectives and capabilities with your EA view of strategy
-Integrate security policies, services and mechanisms with your EA view of solutions
-Integrate security mechanisms, standards, and guidelines into your implementations
Admission control adds a desperately needed leg to the security stool. It’s conceptually simple. When a device attempts to connect to a network, we examine that device to verify that it is free of malicious code before we accept a single keystroke from a user at that device. We can verify that all security measures – firewall, antivirus, antispyware, host IDS – are have all the current patches, malware and intrusion signatures, are properly configured and are operating as anticipated. If an endpoint fails to meet these criteria, we can block admission, or quarantine the endpoint to a location on our network where the user can access the resources required to bring the endpoint into compliance.

Extending Active Directory to Box for Seamless IT ManagementOkta-Inc
As organizations move mission critical files and data into Box, security and productivity become increasingly important. How can IT enable users to seamlessly access Box with their existing network credentials or ensure that user accounts are automatically provisioned and deprovisioned as employee roles change?
Historically, Active Directory has been core to application security and productivity. However, Active Directory was built for on-premise networks and does not easily integrate with cloud applications like Box. Okta’s Active Directory integration service bridges this gap, takes only moments to set up, and best of all… is FREE!
This webinar will discuss Okta’s free Directory Integration Edition for Box, and how it can deliver the following benefits:
-Single sign-on with federation or delegated authentication
-Automated provisioning & de-provisioning via Security Groups
-True end-to-end provisioning from HRIS systems like Workday
-Password synchronization
-Multifactor authentication
Load balancing isn’t dead—it has evolved into something much greater. While it remains a core functionality for delivering any application, traditional load-balancing has moved beyond the network to encompasses a range of security, performance and management services. As leaders in the application services industry, F5’s expertise in helping power fast, available, and secure applications forms the foundation for our entire catalog of solutions.
Any Device. Anytime. Anywhere. Not only are employees accessing enterprise applications on mobile devices, they’re increasingly using their own devices. Making applications always available anywhere on any device is critical to lowering costs and maximizing productivity. With F5, you can remove the roadblocks in your network to efficiently and securely deliver applications that are available to users when and where they need them.

Not Going Quietly: Gracefully Losing Control & Adapting to Cloud and MobilitySafeNet
By Joshua Corman, Dir. Security Intelligence, Akamai Technologies (@joshcorman) & David Etue, VP of CorpDev Strategy, SafeNet Inc. (@djetue)
Cloud, virtualization, mobility, and consumerization have greatly changed how IT assets are owned and operated. Rather than focusing on loss of security control, the path forward is cultural change that finds serenity and harnesses the control we’ve kept. The Control Quotient is a model based on control and trust, allowing proper application of security controls, even in challenging environments.

12. Is the Cloud the Issue?
We are often asked whether “the Cloud”
factors into many of the breaches we
investigate. The easy answer is “No—not
really.” It’s more about giving up control of
our assets and data (and not controlling
the associated risk) than any technology
specific to the Cloud.

We’re all familiar with the headlines about data breaches
Deloitte survey results highlight the need to manage access rights across the enterprise Enforce policy Track user activity Ensure controls are in place
What is Access Risk Management? By ensuring that the right people have the right access to the right resources and are doing the right things based on policy, organizations can manage access risk By managing access risk, companies can increase security, demonstrate compliance, improve efficiency and minimize risk to the business Access risk management encompasses traditional IAM (password mgmt, user provisioning) and access governance (role management, compliance mgmt, access certification.)
The challenge organizations face is the volume of identities and access requirements that need to be managed An organization with thousands of employees is going to have tens of thousands of identities (aka multiple identities for each individual) These identities are going to have access to hundreds or thousands of apps in the enterprise (and in the cloud) Organizations will have tens of thousands of file shares that present access challenges All of these identity and access requirements equate to millions of relationships that need to be managed – none of which are static and will change constantly.
And when the door is open the bad guys are much faster in exploiting it than we tend to be recognizing it.2012 Data Breach Investigations ReportIt’s a busy slide but it shows the direct and inverse correlation betweenThe rapid speed in which the bad guys can compromise our layered defenses and exfiltrate valuable information or compromise key processes ANDThis is measured in minutes and hrsThe glacial speed in which we realize what’s happening and do something about it.This is measure in weeks and months to never.
There are other ways to get access to information. Case of the stolen information based on breaching the physical building with a tie.But the cloud opens up more assets being managed and accessed by more people in multiple locations. Which opens up more opportunities for information to be compromised either on purpose or accidently.
How much performance?Deloitte’s Kelly Bissell said nothing will support their custom applications with 47M relationships.We are managing 800M in real time.
