Information Age Autumn Forum 2009

The InformationAge Enterprise Security & Continuity event takes place tomorrow in London as part of their Autumn Forum 2009. I’m giving the opening keynote on “Securing the enterprise in the cloud”. The rest of the day has a great lineup, with some real-world experiences as well as looking at future technologies.

One of the toughest parts of ‘the cloud’ is understanding what people mean by ‘the cloud’. Without that understanding, it is very difficult to figure out what sort of security measures you need. For example if you are looking at an application as a cloud service (aka SaaS) then understanding what security is available is very different from looking at infrastructure services in the cloud. My talk starts with a look at where the Jericho Forum cloud layer / cloud cube models can help clarify exactly what people are talking about before looking at the security issues which need to be addressed.

See you there.
