Speakers:

Alex Brown, Ernst & Young discussing "How blockchain can bring forth security and privacy solutions that facilitate digital transformation."

Presentation Abstract:

  Blockchain has grasped the attention of industry, academia, and government, alike, to experiment with applications beyond its traditional association with financial transactions. With regards to security and privacy, noteworthy discussions have been held around blockchain’s potential to provide data integrity, IoT, and identity protection solutions. In the wake of digital transformation pursuits that exacerbate current cybersecurity issues such as scarcity of resources, scalability, and sustainability, it is important that as a community, we analyze experimental use-cases and aid in the conceptualization of new applications. In the words of Arvind Krishna (Senior VP at IBM Research), “over the past two decades, the Internet has revolutionized many aspects of business and society. Blockchain could bring to those processes the openness and efficiency we have come to expect in the Internet Era."

Presentation Abstract:

  Our team spent three years helping Azure to unblock business in 10+ countries with 20+ compliance work items including accreditations, certifications, self-assessment and whitepapers. Outside of unblocking business, this is my personal journey of learning and knowing security/compliance requirements from different countries, how they are different but yet the same in many perspectives. The story starts with China, then expand to Asia, North America, South America, EU, Australia, and ends with Germany. We will talk about Cloud Security/Compliance Requirements and what they mean to service providers and customers. We will also discuss challenges, how to navigate the country and the common requirements.

The Cloud and IoT has changed the IT landscape and created new challenges for managing cloud operations and data; and identifying and responding to unique attack and security issues. Plan to join us for a one day educational conference with leading industry experts to discuss governance and compliance standards, security assessment and deployment strategies, critical and emerging threats, legal issues/obligations, and best practices to help CISO’s, CIO’s, CTO’s and IT Security Professionals address the new frontiers in securing the digital transformation in the Cloud.
