Strategies to secure business driven enterprise architecture.

October 20, 2022

9:00am-5:00pm

7 CPE / 0.7 CEU / CISSP / 7 PDU Credits Awarded

Conference location: Donald E. Stephens Convention Center Rosemont (O’Hare) Illinois

Overview

In order to build and run applications securely there are key architectural components that need to be in place. Without infrastructure components like proper encryption, standard authentication methods and logging standards developers are challenged to build secure applications. Without proper pre-production testing and event logging / analysis knowing if an application is under attack and should you worry when it is becomes virtually impossible. With the advent of containers and the ability to scale application across different platforms the problem only gets compounded.

This conference will present the key architectural components your company should have in place that will allow you to build, run and monitor applications more securely.

9:00am-10:00am:  Security Architecture and Business Resiliency

Patrick Benson, Systems Engineer, Veeam

Kevin Finch, Senior Business Continuity Architect, Sayers

Security and Infrastructure need to cooperate in order to ensure business resiliency, but many organizations fail to unite the two, leaving them vulnerable. Worse yet, some organizations unwittingly encourage opposition between the two. We will briefly discuss the importance of working together in those areas, and highlight some specific strategies companies can use to keep different areas of the business in alignment for better security, and better continuity of operations.
