Managing Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Environments

Hybrid and multi-cloud environments, now a weapon-of-choice for many companies, are facing increased regulations with their sharp increase in use. To ensure compliance against a range of international requirements, cloud providers are now aiming to establish a joint approach with customers regarding operational resilience requirements.

So, what does this mean for companies? Organizations should ask themselves, as a starter, what their risk appetite is and if they really understand the criticality of their critical cloud services. The next steps are to consider just how they can meet the new compliance regulations for third parties, outsourced operations and cloud providers as well as what level of communications they should establish with them.

Tune into this session presented by business continuity, disaster recovery, cyber resilience and major incident expert Steve Yates, as he shares his views on managing hybrid and multi-cloud environments, in what until recently had been put into the “secret” file! Yates will explore current challenges and provide a series of “joined-up” options to consider when managing cloud services. In addition, he will delve into the more recent compliance world, where partnerships may be the answer. Viewers are encouraged to share, in confidence, their major concerns before the presentation, if they wish to gain the most from this session.

By the end of the session, you will learn:
- The challenges you may likely encounter.
- How to redefine your risk appetite.
- How to be conversant in a joined-up thinking approach with your cloud provider(s).
