Cloud & Security
Conference

South Africa's Premier Cloud & Security event is back and coming to you on 16 May 2024 at The Venue, Melrose Arch.

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.

Cloud Security

Cloud security is the protection of data stored online via cloud computing platforms from theft, leakage, and deletion. Methods of providing cloud security include firewalls, penetration testing, obfuscation, tokenization, virtual private networks (VPN), and avoiding public internet connections.

Virtualisation

Virtualisation is the process of running a virtual instance of a computer system in a layer abstracted from the actual hardware.

Data Centres and Hosting

A data centre is a physical facility that organisations use to house their critical applications and data.

Data Backup and Disaster Recovery

Backup and recovery describes the process of creating and storing copies of data that can be used to protect organisations against data loss.
