Securing the Cloud: A Pragmatic Approach @ Cloud Expo 2014

I will be speaking at  Cloud Expo 2014  (June 10-14th). My session will be entitled "Securing the Cloud: A Pragmatic Approach".

Here's a brief summary of this session:

Fueled by the global economic situation, the government’s focus on data center consolidation and the “Cloud First” initiative, Cloud Computing continues to be the buzzword of the year.  As government agencies start to adopt cloud computing, additional challenges including security in the cloud have become prominent barriers to adoption.
This presentation focuses on providing a quick Cloud Computing technology update with an emphasis on current Cloud Computing security trends and drivers. Examples of these trends include: the utilization and evaluation of Clouds in both active and passive surveillance systems and the use of High Performance Clouds for expanding scientist ability to access data. The presentation also introduces best practices and lessons learned for securing both public and private cloud environments. It offers insight into how Cloud Computing coupled with other technical advancements in mobility and security are changing government IT organizations and provides general guidance and best practices for developing practical and pragmatic cloud strategies.
