VMware Risk Management - Network and Client Security Overview + Incident Recovery
Instead of a product showcase, the talk brought a story about risks, inspired by The Lord of the Rings. Sauron failed because he did not protect his „Ring of Power“ – and companies that do not know their key assets, flows, and dependencies will fail just the same. The remedy is visibility, segmentation, discipline in rules, and prepared backups. The first step of risk management is to precisely determine what is indispensable for the company—data, an application, a service, or a process. Where it resides, who accesses it, and which applications power it must be mapped across the infrastructure, from virtualization to network elements. Only then does it make sense to segment and set protection priorities. Without complete information, sensitive data ends up in places where it should not be, and the rules end up protecting happenstance rather than what is most valuable.Where is your „Ring of Power“?
