Get Off My Cloud: Opportunities, Dangers, and Realities of Cloud Computing

8:00 am - 9:20 am

Cloud computing and virtualization will dramatically affect Information Technology (IT) in virtually every organization. It will enable many organizations to completely outsource the IT function - while ensuring that you have the latest versions of every application you need at your immediate disposal. It will enable new security capabilities as it creates new security exposures relating to the protection of critical information assets. Our adversaries will attempt to use its capabilities as well, creating new, more powerful attacks against information and critical infrastructure. This session will discuss these issues in detail and provide you with the information you need to deal effectively with this emerging technology - that literally has the potential to change IT as dramatically as the Internet did.

Perspectives on Security: What's Your Weakest Link?

9:35 am - 10:55 am

Today, most products and services are the result of inputs by numerous suppliers outside the fabric of the host company. Companies resource their raw materials and services from all points of the globe. Many of the finished products are provided to consumers under familiar name brands. Yet, are we assured that what we receive, what we ingest, what we operate performs, and is, as advertised? Security executives ask, "What is the weakest link in my supply chain that could adversely affect consumer confidence and the brand name?" A panel of highly qualified experts to include those representing manufacturers of various types of goods will examine this important topic. A question and answer period is included.
