8:00am – 9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast

9:00am – 9:50am: Six Multi-Cloud Architecture Designs for an Effective Cloud Management

Deploying a multi-tenant application across multiple cloud platforms can be very cumbersome. In this session, attendees will go through 6 multi-cloud architecture designs which can help enterprises build an effective multi-cloud strategy.

In this session, attendees will find the pros and cons of the following:

• Cloudification
• Multi-Cloud Relocation
• Multi-Cloud Refactor
• Multi-Cloud Rebinding
• Multi-Cloud Rebinding with Cloud Brokerage
• Multi-Application Modernization

9:50am – 10:20am:  Refreshment Break

10:20am – 11:10am: The 5 R’s of Mainframe Modernization to Cloud options:  Mix and Match!

Andrew Wickett, VP North American AM2C & AMC Enterprise , Micro Focus

When looking to modernize mainframe applications with cloud, the choices come in 5 main categories. Retire? Replace? Retain? Rehost? Replatform? Refactor?   Maybe the answer is all of the above!

We’ve helped hundreds of organizations modernize their mainframe applications.  We know what works and what doesn’t.  We know that the options vary, and many large companies have multiple strategies.  It’s not “one size fits all” and it’s OK to “tweak” the plan.

We’ll explore the key factors, how to determine what’s best for your organization and applications, how to get the project funded, the risks and what to watch out for. Through real examples of organizations that have started their journey to cloud, you’ll learn which options might work best for you.

11:10am – 12:00pm: Designing a Business-Driven Cloud Security Architecture

Joseph Kupiec, Team Lead, Cloud Solutions Group, PSM Partners

Failure is not an option. Risk must be minimized at all costs. Unfortunately, when defining, creating, and implementing security architectures, we often focus too much on the technology and risk management at the cost of value add to the business. Regardless of whether security architectures succeed or fail technically, ones that neglect to include or downplay the value add to business, will always fail the business.

What makes a successful security architecture? Yes, we must manage risk, prevent identity sprawl, move towards Zero-Trust, etc. but, we must also keep one objective in mind throughout the entire security architecture lifecycle – enabling the business. The best security architects, programs, and architectures not only meet or exceed their technical requirements, but more importantly (let me say it again), they all enable the business. Information security professionals and the industry itself (generally speaking) have a bad reputation. Many, if not all of us, have experienced the groans and sighs when walking into a room of our colleagues. “Why don’t they just leave us alone?”, “I bet you they’re going to require ten more characters for our passwords”, “Why don’t they just let us do what we [the business] needs to do?”. How do we move forward?

It starts and ends with us. Designing a Business-Driven Cloud Security Architecture is not an easy task. It will require us to change our mindsets, adapt the way we approach issues, modify the way we communicate, and transform our relationships with the business. Some of the important items to be discussed are treating the organization as a single entity rather than a set of cooperating departments, aligning information and communication technologies with business processes, and treating cloud security architecture as a business issue. The application of the 6 W’s to gain a clearer understanding of business requirements for systems will be explained. Upon conclusion of this presentation, you will have the necessary information to change those groans and sighs to cheers and smiles.
