This session will explore the security deficiencies and security risks in current cloud implementations.

The era of cloud computing is here, but less defined is how enterprises are maintaining control of security and identities. The use of hybrid PKI solutions enables environments to protect not only their internal servers, but also protect cloud hosted services. In this session, we will explore the options available today that give you maximum control and security across both environments.

Whether you are using private cloud services, shared Microsoft Azure or other providers, you are faced with the question of how to secure data and identities. The majority of best practices and design guides offer little if any detail on how to incorporate and protect cloud hosted services.

This session will explore the security deficiencies and security risks in current cloud implementations. I will also provide several designs and implementations that can be leveraged to protect the enterprise.

You will learn:

  • Understand the challenges to integrating cloud servers into a PKI
  • Extend and leverage corporate managed PKI for services in the cloud
  • Assess cloud offerings and solutions for cloud based certificates
