Regulations Mean Change

More complex regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), have come into play due to the rise of data breaches forces. As data today is viewed as a such an asset, it is also a tremendous liability. Understanding that, organizations must consider both while they implement technologies that will be both innovative their business, but also cost effective.

The Solution for Your Legacy System's Security: The Cloud

Over lifespan of an organization, CIOs/CISOs have developed and implemented technologies that has been key to the organization's success. However, CISOs and their security teams today find themselves stuck ensuring that legacy systems are secure. The solution is cloud-delivered security products that are more agile with the ability to implement new detection methods and services faster than on-site solutions. While cloud security is an ideal solution, it is important to know that using the cloud is more than moving legacy management servers to the cloud.

Cloud Security Architecture (CSA) Capability Framework to Create Built-in Security for a CloudHybrid Data Center

Cloud enables a financial organization to achieve better business agility, speed to the market, long-term cost saving, and great security and compliance at a scale and speed that cannot be matched by a traditional on-premise data center. To achieve the most benefits, the organization may want to use services from multiple clouds with different service models (e.g., SaaS - O365, PaaS - Azure, and IaaS - AWS) and deployment models. The security risks must be addressed systemically and comprehensively to maintain confidence in the cloud systems and trust in the financial institution. The defense needs to be built-in from the beginning rather than bolted-on later. Once built-in, the security controls can be inherited or leveraged by business applications and data deployed in the cloud-hybrid data center, increasing speed to the market and better system security and compliance.  
This session introduces a Cloud Security Architecture (CSA) Capability framework that enables an organization to build the state-of-art defenses into a cloud-hybrid data center. It allows the organization to safely deploy high-risk workloads and process regulated and sensitive data in multiple clouds with built-in compliance to multiple regulatory mandates and industry standards, such as FFIEC, GLBA, SOX, FISMA, PCI, and NIST 800-53. The framework also allows the organization to rationalize its security technologies, providing portfolio clarity and simplification, identifying saving potential, improving cost efficiency, and reducing security risks.  

Takeaways

1. The CSA Capability framework can help an organization to achieve better business agility, long-term cost saving, and great security by building security into a cloud-hybrid data center  
2. The framework can handle top cloud security risks and security requirements from multiple regulatory mandates and an organization's control objectives & controls   
3. It can clarify & simplify your organization's security technologies portfolio, identify saving potential, improve cost efficiency, and reduce security risks.
