How to Secure Data Floating Around in the Cloud

Sponsors: IBM
Host: Paul Korzeniowski, Freelance Writer, Information Week; Kristin Lovejoy, Director of Corporate Security & Strategy, IBM Tivoli Software
Date: Tuesday, December 01, 2009
Time: 2:00 p.m. New York / 7:00 p.m. London
Overview:
Advances in Internet broadband services have enabled companies to pick up their data centers and move them into the cloud. By offloading processing chores to a third party, corporations can cut their staffing requirements, speed up application deployment, and simplify their management chores. Sounds great, but these benefits often come with a dark side, suspect security. Because cloud services are new, suppliers are now figuring out how to make sure they are secure. This Webinar will examine the new security challenges that cloud computing presents, discuss steps suppliers are taking to address them, identify weak and strong security areas, and outline the steps companies should take to ensure that their data is safe.

Paul Korzeniowski is a freelance writer who has been dissecting technology and business issues for two decades. He served on the staffs of ComputerWorld, NetworkWorld, and Internet Week before branching out on his own. Since then, his work has appeared in numerous business and technology publications, including Business 2.0, Entrepreneur, Investors Business Daily, Newsweek, and InformationWeek. His areas of expertise include high speed networking, Web 2.0 applications, and security

Arms merchant or army? That's a fundamental question for vendors in the cloud computing space. Do they just sell their tooling to any and all comers, who then become the actual purveyors of hosted infrastructure, developer platforms, and software? Or do they offer their own cloud-based services, perhaps even keeping much of their technology in-house for competitive advantage?

Most of us go through life knowing that we’re expected to learn from our mistakes and improve. Those who are more conscientious about learning and personal improvement usually reap greater rewards.

Marketers are known for exaggerated claims and stretching the truth just a wee bit. But most marketers I know truly believe in what they sell. Their aggressiveness is based on a confidence that what they are promoting truly benefits the customer.

Total Telephony Transcends Telepresence

The problem with telepresence is that it's not universally accepted, because video calling isn't. While we can all do video calling, we also apparently worry too much about how we look. If we want HD telepresence in our future, we have to dress down, mess up our hair, and dive into our online life.

America Has Much to Learn About Digital Piracy

11|18|09   |   2:09   |   No comments


The US loses about $20 billion a year on pirated software, movies, and music. But public policy can help stem the tide of digital theft. For example, France has recently passed a 'three strikes and you’re out' law, whereby if after two warning letters an individual continues to download pirated software then his Internet access will be cut off. US policy makers should consider adopting similar policies.
