Overview

Most financial firms have well-thought-out strategies for business resiliency and disaster recovery. And the majority of financial firms are in the process of moving to the cloud.

Here’s the catch: Many firms haven’t thought about the intersection of these two initiatives. That is, what’s the best strategy for backing up and protecting resources that are increasingly cloud-based?

In a very real sense, cloud changes everything. Protecting cloud-based resources requires a fresh approach. Financial firms should think in terms of protecting all resources (whether cloud-based or on-prem) as well as leveraging cloud capabilities themselves for backup, restoral, and resiliency.

This panel discussion drills into the best practices for disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS), ensuring business continuance for cloud-based resources, and rethinking resiliency in the age of cloud. We focus on how to manage risk and resiliency in a cloud-based environment; discuss how cloud-based technologies from VDI to cloud-based firewalls and RAS to cloud-based collaboration enables employees to continue working. We also assess security controls for cloud, and discuss how multicloud can (and can’t) provide agility and dexterity.
