Panel Discussion Overview
Most financial firms have well-thought-out strategies for business resiliency and disaster recovery. And the majority of financial firms are in the process of moving to the cloud.
Here’s the catch: Many firms haven’t thought about the intersection of these two initiatives. That is, what’s the best strategy for backing up and protecting resources that are increasingly cloud-based?
In a very real sense, cloud changes everything. Protecting cloud-based resources requires a fresh approach. Financial firms should think in terms of protecting all resources (whether cloud-based or on-prem) as well as leveraging cloud capabilities themselves for backup, restoral, and resiliency.
This panel discussion drills into the best practices for disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS), ensuring business continuance for cloud-based resources, and rethinking resiliency in the age of cloud. We’ll focus on:
- How to manage risk and resiliency in a cloud-based environment
- How cloud-based technologies from VDI to cloud-based firewalls & RAS to cloud-based collaboration enables employees to continue working
- Security controls for cloud
- How multicloud can (and can’t) provide agility and dexterity
