Is the cloud really more secure than your own data center?

In this session, we dispel a widespread prejudice - and show why modern cloud infrastructures offer a higher level of security than traditional on-premises solutions in many cases.

Our experts provide a comprehensible overview of the central security functions of leading cloud platforms and compare these with the typical protection mechanisms in in-house operations. It becomes clear: cloud security is not an abstract concept, but can be measured and understood in concrete terms.

You can expect:

• Introduction to the security mechanisms of the cloud
• Comparison with on-premises architectures
• Security in the context of the use case
• Mapping to specific public administration requirements

What actually makes Cloud Native so special?

In the fourth episode of our webinar series, we take a deep dive into the world of modern software development. What exactly makes cloud-native approaches a central component of modern software development? Our expert Frederik Michel shows how cloud native approaches differ fundamentally from classic on-premises development - explained in a practical, understandable way and directly using our use case. You will not only gain a sound understanding of the underlying technologies and ways of thinking, but also specific ideas on how you can make your own software solution future-proof and innovative.

You can expect:

• Cloud Native explained - principles, technologies, mindset
• Comparison with on-prem - What are the differences?
• Target architecture in the use case - this is what modern development looks like
