Leveraging the cloud for research shows great promise but many have hesitated due to legitimate concerns. In this session cloud security leader Cisco will clarify the true nature of the risk, qualify its severity and offer a proven 3-step path to neutralize it so that cloud-based research can become a more approachable possibility than ever before.

Worried about how to secure your data in the cloud? Learn how UC San Diego Health achieves HIPAA and NIST compliance in AWS to support researchers. We will discuss general patterns and common architectures to decouple protected data from processing and orchestration. Understand how to track where data flows through automation leveraging cloud native and partner solutions on AWS.

Speakers:  Andrew Greaves, Enterprise Research Architect, UC San Diego Health; and Randy Ridgley, Principal Solutions Architect, AWS

We’ve long known that phishing and social engineering are the ways most organisations get compromised. Attackers know it’s much easier to find someone who will click than to find a working exploit for a modern operating system or browser. However, most organizations have very little idea which of their people receive sophisticated threats, targeted threats, or even large volumes of threats. We call these targets VAPs (Very Attacked People), and they may not be who you would—

Dasher solutions architects will showcase real life projects where we leveraged Aruba Networks wireless solutions including ClearPass NAC and Meridian beacon technology for mobile engagement. We’ll also be sharing technical insight into Hewlett Packard Enterprise Synergy and the new HPE Primera storage offering.—

Answering the question that will be asked by your board: is it worth the risk to secure the digital workplace?
We will discuss the business cost of a cyber attack from the perspective of a secure foundation for a digital workplace

How to create a Secure by design location all while enabling your employees to work from wherever and however they desire.

Hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, HPC, and big data don't have to be complex! Learn how Google Cloud Platform can be an enterprise platform for securely tying together your legacy systems and public clouds to build compelling solutions for researchers, faculty, staff, and students across your campus.

Public clouds offer a lot of benefits due to their inherent agility and scalability. However, it is easy to blow up your budget without adequate visibility and control over cloud consumption. In this session, we will talk about how UC San Diego grappled with spending dozens of hours per month to manually figure out who was consuming what resources across their hundreds of AWS accounts. Nutanix was able to help UC San Diego build automated chargeback reports—

Disruption from artificial intelligence is the “new normal” within the legal industry. By extension, universities are increasingly using AI to augment front and back-office operations. Although adoption of automating simple, repetitive processes with AI is becoming more common, many universities do not understand what they should expect from this technology. They face challenges defining a business-centric digital strategy for AI initiatives. This session will provide insight into best-practices for defining the elements of a successful digital strategy—

How do you build a secure cloud and infrastructure to ensure compliance and qualification for research grants?
 
Campuses and health centers must meet the obligations related to information security, intellectual property, records, privacy, personal information and encryption stated in research grant opportunities.
 
As enterprise boundaries continue to evaporate and security threats become more sophisticated, the challenges facing Higher Education security teams are increasing exponentially. Balancing user desire for a seamless experience with regulatory and compliance—

HPC and AI environments are overflowing with data and struggling with enough processing to leverage that data.  They are frequently siloed as are your traditional batch and newer container workloads.  How can we bridge these divides?

With datacenter-scale reference architectures, designed specifically for the higher education and research space, you can shorten deployment times, ease operations, and consolidate these silos to provide high performance GPU compute to many different use cases and workloads.  Please join ePlus as—

The Sherlock Division at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego has gone from being a federally funded project to a self-sustaining entity, delivering world-class solutions to organizations nationwide. The Sherlock Division’s agility, excellence of services, and continuous innovation enable it to self-sustain, as it is funded through grants and service agreements while not receiving any institutional support from UC San Diego or SDSC. This talk will share some insights on—
