Cloud Expo Silicon Valley: Zero Touch Compliance for Cloud Platforms

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley $500 Savings here!

Virtualization and cloud computing have forever changed how organizations achieve control and visibility over both core IT elements and IT services. Now it's time to move away from solutions that are not ready to handle the dynamic high rate of change and service delivery in the Cloud. Traditional IT configuration and compliance tools cannot monitor changes that cause compliance violations in realtime.

In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, George Gerchow, Director of VMware's Center for Policy & Compliance, will show you how to capture hundreds of significant changes in Cloud Infrastructure that alter our compliance posture without having to collect data or force manual assessments. To help customers address the fundamental challenge of getting the right information to the right people over an infrastructure that they can trust, VMware has adopted a two-prong approach to ensuring control and visibility for cloud environments. For areas that are fundamental to the deployment of secure, reliable applications in virtual and cloud environments, VMware offers solutions that are purpose built and embedded in the infrastructure. VMware has also raised the bar by providing a new set of Cloud Mission Critical Controls to help customers prioritize configurations as they migrate mission critical applications to Cloud environments. In addition, VMware is enabling a security ecosystem of industry leading security partners to provide a new generation of security and compliance solutions specifically designed for cloud infrastructure.
