Securing the Cloud

Online: Thursday, September 23, 2021 | Time: 12:00-2:15pm ET / 9:00-11:15am PT

Building an effective framework for safeguarding government clouds

With government agencies turning to the cloud for its flexibility and efficiency gains, developing and integrating a cloud risk management strategy has become especially crucial in an environment where the sensitive personal details of millions of citizens are stored and increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks. 

Public sector organizations will need to take stock of the security implications that come with the cloud and determine any vulnerabilities that exist in their current infrastructure. What are the responsibilities of the organization versus the cloud service provider (CSP)? How can governments ensure data protection in the cloud? What are the recommended controls for cloud-based services?  

Public Sector Network’s Securing the Cloud Virtual Event will help you answer these questions and provide you with the guidance you need to implement secure cloud solutions. Connect with cloud and security professionals from all levels of government as they share case studies and practical tips to help you along the way.
