Keynote Address
Framing Security and Legal Issues in an Era of Cloud Computing -
Cloud computing is gaining momentum as a cost effective alternative to traditional IT infrastructure. As more organizations hand off their data to cloud providers, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) between providers and consumers is where the rubber meets the road. Listen to our Keynotes as they outline security concerns in an era of cloud computing, and discuss strategies for negotiating best-in-class SLAs with cloud service providers.
