Taming the Storm Clouds: Managing Network Security Across the Hybrid and Multi-cloud Estate

As organizations adopt cloud strategies and migrate applications to take advantage of cloud economies of scale, they face new levels of complexity and risk to their security posture. Security controls and network architectures from leading cloud vendors are distinct from each other and fundamentally different from those found in on-premise data centers – and not as stringent. Customers of these cloud services often do not know how to use them securely.

Enterprises are taking advantage of the vast capabilities Cloud Computing offers, rapidly migrating data and applications to Public Cloud, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). However, great new capabilities also expose organizations to new security risks. In order to maintain an effective security posture while deploying applications across complex and hybrid network environments, security professionals need holistic visibility and control from a single source. In this special panel discussion, Prof. Avishai Wool (AlgoSec CTO) and Scott Ward (AWS Principle Solutions Architect) will cover best practices for maintaining corporate security governance as enterprises extend business applications into the cloud. Join us to learn how to: Extend full visibility from the on-premise network into AWS with a single pane of glass view Proactively uncover gaps in security and compliance Quickly apply on-premise network security policy to AWS Automatically optimize security policy change management across the complex network

As your network extends into hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including software-defined networks such as Cisco ACI, managing security policies within your hybrid estate becomes more and more complex. Because each part of your network estate is managed in its own silo, it’s tough to get a full view of your entire network. Making changes across your entire network is a chore and validating your entire network’s security is virtually impossible. Learn how to unify, consolidate, and automate your entire network security policy management including both within the Cisco ACI fabric and elements outside the fabric. In this session Omer Ganot, AlgoSec’s Product Manager, will discuss how to: Get full visibility of your entire hybrid network estate, including items within the Cisco ACI security environment, as well as outside it. Unify, consolidate, and automate your network security policy management, including elements within and outside of the Cisco ACI fabric. Proactively assess risk throughout your entire network, including Cisco ACI contracts, and recommend the necessary changes to eliminate misconfigurations and compliance violations

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining and raising awareness of best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment, and AlgoSec, a leading provider of business-driven network and cloud security management solutions, today announced the results of a new study titled, “State of Cloud Security Concerns, Challenges, and Incidents.” The survey, which queried nearly 1,900 IT and security professionals from a variety of organization sizes and locations, sought to gain deeper insight into the complex cloud environment that continues to emerge and that has only grown more complex since the onset of the pandemic.
