Cloud Computing is adding a number of challenges to IT governance. In this opening session to the 2010 Kuppinger Cole Cloud Computing Virtual Conference, Martin Kuppinger will talk about the 5 key challenges to be aware of, if you want to extend your IT governance to cloud computing.

Before jumping into the cloud, you should know about the risks, so that you can ask the right questions to your provider. In this webinar session, we will discuss the main risk areas of cloud computing, such as data location, transparency, privileged user access, Recovery and data segregation, and how to keep them under control.

IT security is in a challenging transition period. On the one hand, threats are real and they are growing more and more sophisticated. On the other hand, the promise of cloud computing is trying to transform computing into an ubiquitous utility. The IT services world is going through a revolutionary change, making traditional, perimeter based security models obsolete. And it will not stop, it will be going even worse. If there ever has been a time to totally rethink your overall security strategy, itīs good that it is now. Join us in this session, to discuss the new holistic enterprise security concept.

When applications and information move beyond the perimeter, they become more vulnerable and cause privacy related issues. How can we make sure that cloud services live in a controlled environment? Do we need to reinvent the governance whell or is Cloud governance just an extension of your existing SOA governance? Join us in this webinar session to discuss this exciting topic.
