What cloud is your data in?
Session Details
Session Abstract
New global research conducted in January 2013 measured where end users are seeing challenges with IT, the usability of solutions, and security. Results show more than half of 674 respondents are compelled by slow or overly restrictive IT, or solutions or security that lack usability, to use workarounds either every day or sometimes. Such workarounds are out of compliance with policy and bring additional privacy and security risk. Many types of workarounds, such as apps on personal devices, texting, or social media, drive sensitive data into clouds other than those where the sensitive data is supposed to be. This in turn can drive confidentiality, integrity and trans-border data flow risks. Join this session to hear about this research, how end user behavior with personal, corporate or thin client mobile devices can drive sensitive data into other clouds and add risk. Explore practical strategies and best practices to effectively mitigate these risks and secure data in the collective cloud.
