Today’s Agenda • Identity, Access and Security-related cloud problems, matched to NetIQ solutions • Controlling Access to Cloud Services and Data • Increased Risk in Mixed Environments • Compliance in the Cloud • Summary • Q&A
Controlling Access to Cloud Services and Data Since SaaS is purchased directly by the business, there is a tendency for users to sign up directly, rather than through IT controls • Lack of visibility and control of data may put organizations at risk for data loss • If access is not managed properly, organizations may encounter large unanticipated fees or over-subscription
Controlling Access to Cloud Services and Data - SolutionsReduce the Risk of Data Loss and Unexpected Costs • NetIQ Sentinel • Integrated SIEM to identify Cloud services accessed from the network, affording greater control and faster response to an attack • NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager • Helps ensure security policies are enforced across traditional, private cloud and IaaS environments

Increased Risk in Mixed Environments Most IT organizations are supporting both traditional and cloud-based services, with hybrid public/private configurations • Mixing high and low value workloads on the same hardware introduces risk that a breach to one can cascade to others • Users commonly use the same credentials for their cloud hosted applications as they do for their internally hosted applications, increasing the risk of a breach
Increased Risk in Mixed Environments- SolutionsReduce the Risk of Cascading Security Breaches • NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager • Automatically identify systems in traditional, private cloud and IaaS environments that are poorly configured and vulnerable to attack

Compliance in the Cloud Compliance doesn’t stop at the firewall. Organizations lack controls and cannot effectively certify and report on cloud services, to meet compliance standards • Security teams need a way to integrate compliance reporting across multiple cloud and traditional environments

Why You Need to Understand ISG-Related Cloud Problems and Solutions • Cloud is a disruptive technology to the way IT services are being delivered • Compliance in the cloud is an afterthought, but must be managed to avoid audit surprises • Controlling access to cloud services and data should be an extension of what is done for internal applications and services • Increased risk in mixed environments demands technology to mitigate the risk • Your customers are struggling with how to address the problems that cloud computing causes – help them and become a trusted advisor
