CISO Summit No. 2: Resilience

Keynote: Resilience with the Cloud, in the Cloud or in spite of the Cloud?

Speaker: Reto Häni, Microsoft

Cloud security and resilience: Cloud computing is changing and accelerating our work and life. Standardized services – that are available immediately and scale seemingly without end – are increasing the competitiveness and flexibility of enterprises. The advantages of competitiveness and flexibility are even more attractive considering the opportunity to reduce capex and free up a company’s own ICT personnel for non-routine work. However, enterprises ask themselves «How available and secure are such cloud services in reality?». This essential question is even more crucial when considering latest threats to businesses from cyberspace – a fact that has been even called out at the World Economic Forum in Davos as one of the global risks (Global Risk Report 2014). The speaker provides an in-depth analysis of resilience and security, and discusses privacy in detail.
