JOHN VIEGA (Executive Vice President, Perimeter E-Security)
PRESENTATION TITLE: Crypto for the Public Cloud
PRESENTATION ABSTRACT:
The cloud presents a huge opportunity for modern businesses to reduce cost and complexity – but doing so at the cost of reduced security is a non-starter for many organizations. Those responsible for security oversight within their organizations lose sleep over the security of critical data. What if some unforeseen problem with someone else’s applications or controls exposes all of this sensitive information sitting in the cloud? In traditional security models, encryption solved most of these data security worries, but the cloud has introduced new challenges and problems with this approach. Fortunately, several novel technical approaches are evolving to alleviate many of these traditional, limited approaches, and in the long-term, make the cloud a more secure model for both software and data.
What Attendees will learn:
· New techniques for encryption that will allow organizations to operate on fully-encrypted data – even though it’s sitting in the cloud
· Several different approaches, real-world tradeoffs and best practices for maximizing security, functionality and performance.
· Clarity around the various approaches to data encryption for the cloud era.
· How to perform fast, full wildcard searching.
· Through real-life examples, learn how to maximize cloud security for both software and data.
