The benefits of cloud computing are undeniable – faster project deployment, lower maintenance costs, and ease of scalability are just a few of them. These benefits, however, can only be leveraged if the right security protocols are in place, thereby making security a key concern in the buildup and migration of applications on the cloud.
In this webinar, Prabath Siriwardana, director - security at WSO2, and Isura Karunaratne, software engineer at WSO2, will discuss the real security challenges faced by organizations that impede or hinder their move to cloud. It will also evaluate open source cloud middleware and security solutions and best practices that will help to maximize the benefits of cloud without compromising security.
The session will focus on
- Key security challenges faced in the process of moving to the cloud
- Open source cloud middleware and security solution that will facilitate this move
- Best practices and guidelines to maximize benefits while ensuring security
