Title: Secure Cloud Computing: Anything New?

Abstract

Due to several hard-to-resist benefits, Cloud Computing, in such forms
as Storage as a Service, Software as a Service, and Platform as a
Service, has been increasingly embraced by the industry as well as
governments. However, security (e.g., data protection, availability,
data loss, sense of control) tops the list of concerns with cloud
computing (InformationWeek Survey).  This session will discuss the
truths vs.  misunderstandings about secure cloud computing.

What will be covered:

* Does cloud computing really make enterprise IT solutions more
vulnerable?

* Securing an enterprise's clouds is more a management issue or a
technical issue?

* What are the new technical hurdles beyond properly deploying current
security protection tools? How could these hurdles be overcome?
