In a recent survey of IT workers, 54 percent believe that their organization will likely suffer a security breach in the next year because of cloud provider security risks. (Ponemon Sept, 5 2011) Unlocking the business potential of the cloud requires a more proactive and cost effective approach. In this podcast you will learn how to apply Oracle technologies and services to reduce the risk of fraud, secure private data and provide security governance for the cloud.

Cloud, mobile and social, are emerging as the next platform for applications and forcing organizations to innovate and adapt. This transformation offers the opportunity to re-think application security. Oracle's 'inside out' approach to security means making security part of the application's DNA. In this podcast, we will discuss Oracle's approach to securing applications and data on the infrastructure where it resides, in the database were application information is stored and from the interface where applications are accessed. We will discuss how Oracle's 'inside-out' approach to security can provide a proactive and cost effective way to secure applications.

Organizations spend up to 14 percent of their IT budget on security (Forrsights, 2011); however, the focus is on technologies that are largely reactive. Although spending has steadily increased, many organizations don't feel safer because this reactive approach has shifted attention away from applications, data and core systems. In this podcast, you will learn how Oracle's 'inside out' approach to security provides a more cost effective way to reduce risk, manage vulnerabilities and secure the organization's most valuable assets.

Providing better service and greater access to customers means securing customer information and interaction. Securing the experience means detecting fraud, preventing identity theft, complying with regulatory mandates and securing customer data. In this podcast, we will discuss how organizations can take a security 'inside-out' approach to secure multiple channels of interaction.

Secure data centers are built to prevent physical intrusion with reinforced concrete and bomb-resistant glass. Despite these measures, 94 percent of breaches are against servers inside the data center. While the threats are outside, the vulnerability remains largely inside. In this podcast, we will discuss how an 'inside-out' approach to security can help organizations detect fraud, address regulatory compliance and provide better data security.

The proliferation of mobile devices has spurred a new trend where employees tend to bring their own mobile devices to work and access corporate applications the same way they would access from a desktop or laptop.

Many applications do not have visibility into the security posture of the device. Also they cannot easily enforce and maintain their audit, compliance and privacy requirements. In this podcast, we examine how Oracle's latest innovation in Identity Management around Mobile and Social Sign On can simplify security and access management challenges posed by the widespread adoption of mobile devices in the enterprise.
