Everyone is promoting the benefits of moving to the cloud. However, security is often left out of the conversation. Can you move your data and services to the cloud and still sleep soundly at night? Yes, you can. However, it takes the same creativity and openness to new ideas used in moving to the cloud to secure it! The goal of this session is to stimulate discussion around the risks vs benefits of moving to the cloud and how to manage that risk in a world of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS.
