If you are attending the RSA Conference 2010 in San Francisco with either a delegate or expo pass, please consider attending the Cloud Security Alliance Summit. The next generation of computing is being delivered as a utility. Cloud Computing is a fundamental shift in information technology utilization, creating a host of security, trust and compliance issues. The Cloud Security Alliance is the world’s leading organization focused on the cloud, and has assembled top experts and industry stakeholders to provide authoritative information about the state of cloud security in the Cloud Security Alliance Summit. The summit is being produced in cooperation with IEEE. Platinum sponsorship is provided by McAfee.

This half day event will provide broad coverage of cloud security domains and available best practices for governance, legal, compliance and technical issues. From encryption and virtualization to vendor management and electronic discovery, the speakers will provide guidance on key business and operational issues. We will also present the latest findings from the CSA working groups for Cloud Threats, Metrics and Controls Mappings. Among the topics we will discuss:

  • Emerging Cloud business and technology models
  • Incident response in the Cloud
  • Creating enterprise class Service Level Agreements with cloud providers
  • New cloud-based malicious threats
  • Aligning Cloud Security Alliance guidance with ISO 27001, CobiT, PCI and NIST
  • Identity Management in the Cloud
  • Developing standards to assure compliance and vendor interoperability

This event provides the attendee with a unique opportunity to learn the latest best practices and network with the experts helping shape the future of cloud computing security.
