He has published the “Laws of Vulnerabilities” and is one of the inventors of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), and holds numerous patents in the field of managed network security.
“Google is a critical part of the cloud computing ecosystem and we are very excited to have Gerhard kick off this year’s event to share best practices, proven approaches and lessons learned with our conference attendees,” said Jim Reavis, CEO of the Cloud Security Alliance. “Whether you are a long time user of cloud technology or a relatively new adopter, this year’s conference is guaranteed to take your knowledge to a new level with new ideas that attendees can readily walk away with and apply to their own organization.”
Presented by the IAPP Privacy Academy and CSA Congress, the P.S.R. Conference, now in its third year, is expected to draw approximately 1,500 privacy and cloud security professionals. The event brings together two related fields—privacy and security - with important perspective to help practitioners excel in their role. The event aims to deliver the most thought-provoking speakers and sessions led by the foremost experts and provides invaluable opportunities to connect and share ideas. The join event will provide attendees with more than double the education and networking opportunities with the leading innovators and practitioners in technology, security and privacy for the price of a single conference.
