While companies are moving toward growth in 2010, IT budgets are still under intense scrutiny. IT departments are being asked to keep their networks and applications secure while still allowing end users to not be weighed down by policies and time consuming procedures with often a reduction in funds.
In this webinar we will discuss about frequently unseen and very significant saving potentials through connecting enterprise-SSO and strong authentication with your existing infrastructure.

Attestation should not be a point solution, but an element within a larger information security architecture. In this Webinar, we will talk about where access certification is today and what is changing – and what has to change. We will describe maturity levels with respect to access certification and will focus on the relationship to risk management and to overall IT governance.

Cloud Computing frequently is discussed mainly as a security risk. However, there is as well the view that the cloud is or might be more secure than on-premise IT solutions. Martin Kuppinger will look at risks of cloud computing, the status and outline the points which you should look at when considering a move to the cloud or moving additional services to the cloud. In contrast to most other information on that topic available today, the presentation will also look at solutions for these issues – some will be discussed in detail her, some in the closing keynote.

There are many standards out there for the cloud. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) for federation, SPML (Service Provisioning Markup Language), and many others. But there are as well many standards missing, either directly related to security or in some relation to security – like service management standards, given that SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and service descriptions are a key for measuring service fulfillment and thus managing risk and security issues. Obvious shortcomings are in the field of governance and auditing. In this panel, several experts will discuss the state and the lacks of standards as well as their expectations regarding the adoption of existing and new standards by vendors.

Many companies are telling that they tend to start with a “private” cloud instead of going to the “public” cloud. Besides the question whether hybrid IT environments aren’t reality today, this panel will discuss the specific security risks of internal clouds, especially around the changes from physical to virtual environments, but as well with respect to more loosely coupled IT environments and their new threats – which are in fact not that new, given that we have some experience on loosely coupled environments from SOA.

There is an increasing number of tools to manage cloud environments. Some are, in fact, more tools to manage virtualized environments, whilst others focus more on service management issues. More and more of these tools promise to support hybrid environments as well. However the question arises whether security is covered sufficiently by these tools. The panel will discuss the state of cloud management with respect to the security requirements.

Martin Kuppinger will discuss in this presentation risk-based approaches to manage cloud security. The issue, from his perspective, isn’t that the cloud is inherently insecure. The real issue is to deal in appropriate way with the specifics of the cloud – which includes not only security but as well related issues like availability. In this presentation, Martin Kuppinger will talk about aspects like authentication and authorization in cloud environments, cross-cloud governance approaches and the specific issues around changing providers. He will also highlight his view that risk and services are the two fundamental elements for IT management – even more in these cloudy times.
