11:30am – 12:30pm: Cloud Resilience Strategies for Avoiding a False Sense of Security
The cloud brings a false sense of security. The belief that, “We’re in the cloud. We’re good.” isn’t enough for today’s always-on businesses. With the cloud, there is no easy button and the tendency to outsource responsibility in addition to technology is pervasive.
In this session, we will discuss what this false sense of security is, what happens when you have to recover and how you can plan for and control critical aspects of your infrastructure and DR posture with intelligent planning.
