Securely Moving to the Cloud
Previewing our 9/14 webcast with the experts
Cloud Raxak
Andras from Forrester can't join us today, but will be at the webinar on Sept 14th. Here are some of the general cloud security challenges Forrester has seen in their research.
Cloud Raxak
Ease of Use for End Users (you can’t control end users)
• Cloud security should not require users to change behaviors or tools
Cloud Raxak
Inconsistent Control (you don’t own everything)
• The only thing you can count on is guest VM ownership
Cloud Raxak
Elasticity (not all servers are steady-state)
• Cloudbursting, stale servers, dynamic provisioning
Cloud Raxak
Scalability (highly variable server counts)
• May have one dev server or 1,000 production web servers
Cloud Raxak
Portability (same controls work anywhere)
• Nobody wants multiple tools or IaaS provider lock-in

Can you tell us about companies that are leveraging the cloud to transform their businesses?
Kameron Chao
For example: Airbus is transforming the way they deliver value to their customers by using mobile devices analytics to improve the speed and efficiency of airplane maintenance.

Another example: Citigroup is fostering innovation in banking and investments, by creating an external ecosystem of technology collaborators and 3rd party developers.

How are IBM, Cloud Raxak and VMware working together?
Cloud Raxak
@IBM@CloudRaxak @VMware provide a seamless and cost-effective way to leverage the cloud, manage risk, and maintain continuous security compliance.
Cloud Raxak
@JamesLBerke @CloudRaxak has eliminated non-IT user risk by integrating security compliance into the VMware vRealize IT service catalog.
Cloud Raxak
A line of business user with no security experience, can now provision a VM on the @IBMCloud or on-prem with a CISO defined security profile (eg.PCI-DSS).

Join the 9/14 webinar to see demo of @CloudRaxak@VMware vRealize service catalog,@IBM Cloud. See how enterprises can quickly and securely move VMware workloads in the IBM Cloud.
Cloud Raxak
Can you tell us about the value the IBM Cloud and VMware partnership brings to enterprises?
Kameron Chao
Three areas of value: 1) Speed with security and performance on demand
Kameron Chao
2) Scale to enterprise-class data centers globally
Kameron Chao
3) Control, providing full ability to manage the on-prem/cloud environment seamlessly
John Furrier
vCloud Air Network is a good play by VMware
Krista Wheatley
Why do enterprises need to automate cloud security compliance?
Sesh Murthy
Automation Provides Scale and Reduces Costs
‒ Automation saves 40% of cloud operational costs
Sesh Murthy
to remediate drift
Sesh Murthy
Security Compliance requires a consistent policy on-premise and in the Cloud
Sesh Murthy
The security profile should be developed by the CISO

and applied consistently to public, private clouds, and traditional IT.
