The potential benefits to Cloud Computing are numerous; it promises availability, reliability, elasticity, dynamism, and an attractive economic utility model of consumption and allocation. However, it also introduces new challenges, including meeting compliance with required security policies and controls, establishing sufficient isolation in multi-tenant environments, and ensuring sufficient insight into the environment to govern data/assets properly. Security must be designed into the fabric of a cloud architecture; consumers want assurances from Cloud Computing providers that their data will be adequately protected. This session will provide an overview of five key security issues associated with the cloud computing and approaches to mitigate them. Bio: Dr. Ronald Ritchey is a leading technologist specializing in information assurance (IA) with over 20 years experience working within the IT industry. He is an active researcher in the IA field and is widely published on network security topics including co-authoring recent books on Software Assurance and Insider Threat.
