Hybrid Cloud Done Right

The hybrid cloud – that is, a computing infrastructure that combines public cloud services with private cloud or legacy on-premises resources – is being strongly promoted by cloud service providers as the answer to the needs of enterprises. Usually, hybrid cloud solutions are hailed for their combination of scalability, agility and cost-efficiency of public cloud with the increased security and compliance of keeping sensitive data on-premises under your full control.

But is this really the case? Each vendor has their own definition for a hybrid cloud, and there is a difference between a hybrid cloud strategy and a hybrid cloud deployment. What are the benefits that a hybrid cloud can provide and how can you ensure that your organization achieve these benefits? What are the security and compliance challenges around the use of a hybrid cloud? How does a hybrid cloud change the compliance landscape for GDPR?

This workshop will cover the concepts and strategies for technical and organizational cloud security in a hybrid world. These will include:

• Why, when and how to move to a hybrid cloud model
• Why good governance is essential for the hybrid cloud
• Security futures: cloud-based communications security, CASBs, IDaaS and more

• Understand the compliance implications of the hybrid cloud
