Cloud Migration & Risk Management Summit
11th December,
City of London

Enterprises need to move to cloud to stay agile, flexible and competitive, but they need to do it without risking business disruption, security, compliance or performance.

The Cloud Migration & Risk Management Summit will bring together a unique combination of real-world user experiences and case studies, as well as practical, technical debates focused on specific approaches and skills for migrating and maintaining a secure cloud infrastructure. As an attendee, you’ll explore current approaches, tools, and techniques with fellow practitioners facing similar cloud-related migration & security challenges.

IEEE conducted a survey to explore the challenges, strategies, and awareness of Cloud professionals when it comes to Cloud migration and monitoring; and to surface top priorities for effective deployment, performance and security as they adopt cloud as a key IT initiative for the business!

Some of the key findings include:

• 56% of companies surveyed have started migrating to the cloud and their top priorities include visibility for end-to-end service assurance, optimizing cost and ensuring security of data.

• 45% of respondents say visibility throughout the migration is critical. Understanding how services perform before, during and after cloud deployments is the best strategy for realizing the benefits of cloud adoption.

• 40% of DevOps teams say performance monitoring is a key concern. Implementing pervasive visibility of traffic flows on-premises and in private and public clouds – is the top strategy for service assurance.

Data Security in Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Environments
Summit & Expo
1st July 2020, Central London

A hybrid, multi-cloud environment offers the advantages of high resiliency combined with the agility to adapt quickly to changing digital business requirements. Organizations need to consider how to scale protection to accommodate issues like growth, as well as how to consistently track and secure workloads that span multiple cloud environments.

The digital landscape is continually evolving. Increasing regulatory compliance, the proliferation of IoT devices and massive growth in big data are adding additional layers of complexity and increase the need for a safe and secure cloud architecture.

Enterprises in the interconnected era must ensure they have industry-compliant, high-performance security measures in place to minimise the impact of security breaches. The risk of cyber-attacks isn’t going away, nor is the reputational damage. Enterprises must plan for cyber-attacks diligently and comprehensively, treating them as the business-critical threat they are. Incorporating resiliency into all digital infrastructure is paramount to ensuring all private data is protected. Join your Cloud/Security peers at the Data Security in Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Environments Summit, where we will be discussing:

A snap shot of topics:

• Anticipated risks and concerns about potential Hybrid & Multi-Cloud migrations

• How can enterprises regain control of their data security in a multi-cloud environment?
• Cloud compliance and legal concerns
• Application Migration and Hybrid Deployments in a Multi-Cloud World
• How to take on data management in hybrid clouds
• How can enterprises reduce security gaps in the cloud without affecting their business efficiency?
• How can enterprises regain control of their data security?
• Maintaining hybrid IT in a multi-cloud world
• A Data Journey to Cloud: The Challenges and Solutions
• How can (BYOE: bring your own Encryption) & (BYOK: Bring your own Key) help to reduce the core issues of data security, control and compliance?

Identity & Access Management Summit & Expo,

San Francisco, USA

Due to the overwhelming success of our UK Identity & Access Management Chapter, we will be continuing our successful journey within the US & Middle East in 2020. With extensive global research taking place with industry practitioners shaping the coalface, Industry leading visionaries & thought Leaders, we are excited to be hosting our US Chapter in San Francisco, USA on the 6th & 7th October 2020. The format, will include:

• 2 Days of Knowledge Sharing/Innovation & Collaboration

The days of all on-premises software, where proprietary applications were accessed from within the confines of the corporate firewall are over. The explosion of mobile, social and cloud has meant unprecedented opportunities for enterprises, but has also created an environment with multiple user identities creating a huge challenge for security.

As a result, the global Identity and Access Management (IAM) market is expanding exponentially. Increased spending on security solutions by government bodies and large-scale enterprises to curb identity theft and to adhere to regulatory compliance are the prominent factors have combined to boost the growth. But added to this the use of web-based applications, risk management solution such as policy-based compliance, the proliferation of Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD), Internet of Things (IoT), mobility, and remote workforce are driving the demand for innovation solutions as organisations look to adopt IAM.

In many organisations, users sometimes have more access privileges than necessary. A robust IAM system can add an important layer of protection by ensuring a consistent application of user access rules and policies across an organisation.

Identity and access management systems can enhance business productivity. The systems’ central management capabilities can reduce the complexity and cost of safeguarding user credentials and access. At the same time, identity management systems enable workers to be more productive (while staying secure) in a variety of environments, whether they’re working from home, the office, or on the road.

Join your IAM and Security peers at the Identity & Access Management Summit on the 6th & 7th October, 2020. Where we will be discussing policies, processes, and technologies used to manage user identities and enforce what they can access and do within a system through authentication, authorisation, and accounting.

Testimonials:

"Intro-tech Events oversaw and organised an IAM/Cybersecurity event that we sponsored in April 2019. I was very impressed at the communication from the team prior to, during and after the event. It was attended both in terms of audience and speakers by some really interesting people with a great mix of backgrounds and views on the subject matter. Many of these kind of events can be dry and formal and leave you wondering if it was worth sponsoring, but this was very well run logistically, and although I was speaking, I learned a huge amount from the other speakers and the audience, which means the consideration given to the speakers and attendees in advance was excellent. I can thoroughly recommend (Intro-Tech Events) to you if you are looking to identify the right audience, topics, and then successfully leading an event"
Solution Lead, Hitachi Europe (IAM Sponsor 2019)
