 SECURE CLOUD 2014


SECURE CLOUD 2014 will be held in Amsterdam on 1-2 APRIL 2014.
Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) and Fraunhofer Society for the advancement of applied research (Fraunhofer-FOKUS) came together to organize the third edition of the SecureCloud conference.
Conference is said to be an opportunity for government experts, industry experts and corporate decision makers to discuss and exchange ideas about how to shape the future of cloud computing security. It is also a place to learn from cloud computing experts about cloud computing security and privacy as well as to discuss about practical case studies from industry and government.
Companies like ADOBE, NOK NOK LABS, SAP ,FIDO Alliance, Intracom Telecom, Amazon Web Services, BSI are the sponsors of the conference.
The panels will discuss the following subject matters: 
Telecom providers are carrying cloud computing traffic and some are transforming into cloud providers. In this panel conference will discuss with providers about their security perspective on cloud computing.

Key representatives from the Task force on EU Data Protection Reform, ICO and the European Privacy Association and FOKUS will discuss possible scenarios related to the current proposals to modernise the EU Data Protection Directive, will dive into its implication and impact on cloud computing market. The panel will also discuss about the Code of Conduct for privacy currently under development in the EC Selected Industry Group. The expert in this panel will provide useful recommendations on how to address one of the most difficult and debated issues in the cloud: Privacy compliance

The Operation Aurora was the first of many sophisticated cyber-attacks allegedly carried out by government organizations. Cloud providers are no longer hiding their frustration at having to fight these adversaries. Zuckerberg (CEO Facebook) wrote recently: "When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we're protecting you against criminals, not our own government". Also the data access requests of law-enforcement agencies are having an impact on cloud providers. Forrester estimated US cloud providers will lose a stunning 180 billion dollars in sales. This discussion panel focusses on the impact of government surveillance on cloud security.

Certification and Cloud Security: Leaders from the CSA, ENISA, LaCAIXA, BSI, and the EC will discuss the role of security certification in providing assurance, transparency and ultimately trust in the cloud market. The experts in this panel will provide the audience with an overview on the most relevant certification currently available, their level of maturity and their pros and cons.

Removing barriers to cloud adoption, representatives from Adobe, Google, Microsoft and SAP will answer pressing questions from the cloud users around openness, transparency, auditing, portability and about how customer requirements are captured in SLAs.
