What is the Industry saying about Cloud Security & Compliance “Survey finds most providers don't protect data, because they don't think it's their job” (Identity Week, IT security & news) “ 70% of Cloud Providers don’t believe that Security is a core responsibility (Ponemon 2010)” http: //gcn. com/articles/2011/05/06/cloud-security-vendors-donot-care. aspx “A Wall Street Journal article by Ben Rooney reported that the majority of cloud service providers do not consider security as one of their most important responsibilities” 8 Confidential

VCM-VSM: Integration Use Cases 1. Service Desk Discover Windows and UNIX servers and desktops from VCM into the VSM CMDB so service desk users can classify incidents against them. 2. Asset Management Discover installed Windows and UNIX software and their relationships with servers and desktops into the CMDB. Compare discovered software with the software license inventory to produce discrepancy reports. 3. Change Management § When a change is initiated from VCM, automatically initiate a Request for Change (RFC) workflow in VSM, passing it the impacted servers/desktops. Once the Change Manager examines the impact, the RFC workflow in VSM can call back to VCM to either Approve or Deny the change as appropriate. § Track unplanned changes from within VSM 24 Confidential
