About the Webinar

Cloud computing undoubtedly delivers flexibility, efficiency and cost reduction – but as it continues to rapidly transform the way we use, store and access data, it also continues to introduce a host of new threats and security challenges.

Outsourcing data does not mean outsourcing responsibility. As a Security Leader, you are now faced with the challenge of managing shared responsibility with your cloud provider and translating your existing security controls and processes to the cloud.

What you’ll learn

Join us for expert insights into the critical activities and controls you need to put in place to reduce risk and utilise cloud computing with confidence.

You will learn about:

• Your responsibility, as a CEO, CIO or CISO, to protect your data
• The processes, plans and controls you can put in place to reduce risk
• The key questions to ask your cloud provider, before signing on the dotted line
• Actionable tips you can implement, right away, to improve your cloud security posture
