Topic: Cloud resilience and how to optimise your security in the cloud
Hosted by the AISA Sydney Branch, please join our panellists Raisa Hashem, Research Specialist Solutions Architect, David Kaplan, Principal Consultant and Sean Wild, Senior Consultant, from Amazon Web Services for an online discussion on cloud resilience and how to optimise your security in the cloud.

The abrupt shift to remote work exposed vulnerabilities in many disaster recovery plans and resulted in an increased move to cloud-based solutions. As cloud technologies evolve and more companies move to cloud-based services, it’s important to understand the risks, challenges and opportunities associated with using the cloud.

In this webinar we will discuss the following:
- How can we mitigate the risks to cloud early in the piece, stay on top of the threats to cloud as well as reduce the exposure to vulnerabilities
- How can we embed what we already have as part of our security posture to our cloud (if not cloud first)
- What are the opportunities to increase cyber resilience and use cloud to optimise our security

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions. This webinar will be recorded and the recording will be made available to registrants.
